As a blogger, I get a fair amount of emails from brands and PR agencies to do product reviews on my blog. Recently, I was asked to do a review of Six Nutrition Vitamins for Men. I replied to the email saying, “I am not a man, but my husband is. And he is willing to do a review.” They were happy with that response, sent the vitamins, and Taylor has been taking them for the last month.

So, ladies and gents, here is Taylor’s first product review!

In my career as an airline pilot, health and fitness are vitally important. In addition to very long duty days in stressful conditions, I am required by the FAA to have a comprehensive medical exam annually. If I do not keep my health in top form, especially my weight and cardiovascular health, I can risk my license and career.

Staying healthy in an environment where I can’t get consistent sleep and be in a regular routine can be difficult. I try to eat healthfully, but I am often at the mercy of packaged meals and airport restaurants. I’ve tried to make up for that by taking a multivitamin on a daily basis. When asked to try Six Nutrition Vitamins, I was willing to see if this made a difference in how I felt.

I had never heard of Six Vitamins before, but their product philosophy makes sense. Six Nutrition believes in pinpointing 6 areas: heart, joint, sex, muscles, mind, and energy.

My first impression of the product was the slick packaging. After taking generic Centrum vitamins in a giant bottle from Costco, this was a nice change. I wasn’t thrilled about taking 6 pills a day, but the packaging made it easy to rip open and throw back the pills with a chug of water. The individual packets were much more convenient to pack in my suitcase than a large bottle.

One funny note: the foil packaging is similar to a condom One morning when I opened up a package in the cockpit to take my vitamins for the day, the pilot I was flying with heckled me a bit.

It’s difficult for me to decide if Six Vitamins made an impact on my health in the last month. There were a lot of stressful factors that I dealt with: cross-country commuting, preparing to move, and recovering from a head cold. It’s possible that the vitamins made me healthier, but I can’t say that for sure. I feel like I had more energy after a few weeks of taking them, but it’s difficult to quantify energy levels with my varied sleep schedule. There is an element of placebo affect whenever you take a pill…I felt like a healthier man by taking the vitamins, but I don’t know if I truly improved my overall health.

All in all, I think these vitamins are a quality product. I haven’t spent a lot of time researching vitamins and supplements, but they seem more targeted to active men’s health than most of the vitamins on the shelf. I liked knowing I was taking a product developed to improve total body health. The price of the vitamins is a more than I’d personally like to pay, but the Six Nutrition website offers some deals for multi-month discounts. If you’re looking for a better pill than a generic multivitamin, give Six Nutrition a try.
