Growing up, I never took daily vitamins religiously just because I felt like it wasn't really doing anything for me. My family always encouraged me to take vitamins to help me stay healthy despite long days and sleepless nights in school, but I usually don't feel any effects on me (either that or I have very high expectations when it comes to vitamins). Recently, I was given the opportunity to try the Usana Essentials, and it may have changed the way I feel about vitamins.
