I take New Chapter Only One Probiotic. It's a vegetarian whole food supplement. And it's organic too!

I take the Veg Life multivitamin-it lasts me about two months and costs $12.99 a bottle.The only thing is it's low on calcium(5%).

I purchase mine at Whole Foods. Unfortunately, it's not vegan. From New Chapter's site:

Nutrients are cultured in organic media that may contain: organic milled soy, organic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) - a natural source of PABA and SOD, organic maltodextrin, organic gum Arabic, organic orange and lemon peel - natural sources of bioflavonoids, organic carrot powder, organic alfalfa powder, enzymes (containing lactose) and Lactobacilli (L. acidophilus, L. bifida, L. rhamnosus)
*** A natural source of choline, inositol, linoleic and linolenic acids
Other ingredients: Organic pre-gelatinized maize starch, silica, organic milled soy, dicalcium phosphate, and modified cellulose.

Ultra "Source of Life" -whole life enhancer- I would say is by far the best I have ever takin. It will run you about $35 for a months supply but it's well worth it. I have found that with multies you do get what you pay for as in many don't meet the standards of whats on the label and "SoL" even comes with a witten guarantee and is third party tested for actual contained percentages of ingredients.

I've been using Spring Valley Naturally Complete Multivitamin. There was a thread about it here: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=31788&highlight=spring+valley

As you can see, though, no one could say for absolutely, positively sure whether they were vegan, although they seem to be. Plus, they're available at Walmart, which some people find objectionable.
