Why 26 reviews aren’t on this page

VitalFactors is a dietary supplement, not a drug. Federal rules don’t allow a supplement company to publish a customer testimonial that describes treating, curing or preventing a medical condition — even when the customer wrote it unprompted, and even when it’s glowing. Every review on mdr.com is passed through an automated filter for that before it is shown.

Of 61 reviews on file, 21 mention a specific health condition and are withheld for that reason. A further 5 are duplicate copies of a review already shown below, so they are counted once rather than twice.

None are withheld for being critical. That distinction matters if you’re trying to judge this product: the rating below is filtered for legal compliance, not filtered for positivity.

What reviewers consistently mention

Daytime energy, without a stimulant edge
The single most repeated theme. VitalFactors contains no caffeine, and several reviewers contrast it with pre-workout or energy products they’d used before. Aaron H.: “I take it in the morning before exercising and it gives me energy without the side effects other supplements do.”
People who have taken it for a very long time
An unusual share of the corpus is decade-plus customers — Lynn W. at 20 years, Ms. H. Williams at 18, John S. “over 10 years”. MDR has sold this formula since the 1980s, and the review file reflects that more than it reflects new trial.
Skin, hair and nails
A recurring secondary theme, usually mentioned after a month or more rather than in the first weeks.
Older adults reporting on themselves by age
Reviewers routinely volunteer their age — 71, 74, 75, 76, 87. That matches who buys it: the median MDR customer is in their sixties.

What reviewers complain about

The two days off each week
VitalFactors is taken five days on, two days off — not daily. It is the most common gripe in the file, from people who like the product enough to resent the pause. Kara K.: “Love the taste so much that it has become my favorite drink. Hate that I’m supposed to skip 2 days a week but I follow the regimen.” The schedule is deliberate, and one box is a full month at that pace.
The formula was changed
Long-term customers notice. Aaron H. flags preferring the previous version on appearance grounds. If you bought VitalFactors years ago, the current tablet is not identical to the one you remember.
It is not a cheap supplement
Not raised often in the reviews themselves, but it is the most common question our support line takes. VitalFactors is $89 a box on subscription. There is a 90-day money-back guarantee, and it applies to each shipment, not just the first.

    Been taking VitalFactors for two months. Love the taste so much that it has become my favorite drink. Hate that I’m supposed to skip 2 days a week but I follow the regimen and am feeling amazing.

  2. ★★★★★Judith H.December 5, 2022

    At age 76, I feel my absolute best when I take Vital Factors. It provides me the energy I need and the mental alertness to accomplish my goals on a daily basis. Also helps me accomplish my exercise goals.

  3. ★★★★★JAY M.November 6, 2022

    THIS PRODUCT IS WAY BETTER THAN ALL MY EXPECTATIONS. IT IS MY FAVORITE SUPPLIMENT. I AM 71. THANK YOU

  4. ★★★★Kathleen H.July 29, 2022

    I tried out the Vital Factors to see if I could tell any difference in how I felt. I take several supplements already. After a week I could tell that I had more energy and stamina than I had been having which is one of the reasons I wanted to try it. I am now on auto-ship and looking to see if the things it says it will do actually do. But just being able to have the needed energy will keep me taking it.

  5. ★★★★★Lynn W.July 13, 2022

    I've been taking/drinking Vital Factors for at least 20 years and never want to stop. The benefits are amazing! Thank you for making such a great vitamin drink.

  6. ★★★★★Happy G.May 10, 2022

    Product easy to use, tablet dissolves easier now, and gives me more energy and focus just after a few days of starting it!

  7. ★★★★★John R.April 17, 2022

    I have been taking VitalFactors for several years now and I can say I definitely see and feel the difference! I follow the recommended usage of five days on/two days off and it is working great for me. I now have my wife on this product and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel (and look) their best.

  8. ★★★★Aaron H.March 11, 2022

    Great product! I take it in the morning before exercising and it gives me energy without the side effects other supplements do. I did prefer the old formula, as the color was purple instead of the current color, orange.

  17. ★★★★★Ms. H. Williams, F.October 14, 2016

    Im soon to be 87 years old. I have been taking the MDR Vital Factors and my doctor said for me to keep doing what Im doing. I have been taking the Vital Factors for 18 years now. I sometimes take them 6 days in a row instead of 5 days as prescribed. I have a banana and my Vital Factors for breakfast and go like the energized bunny for the rest of the day. The Vital Factors keep me regulated. I give MDR 5 thumbs up!!!!!

  35. ★★★★★Pat Boone, C.August 9, 2013

    When you think I topped the charts before Elvis and I am still going strong, it shows that a healthy lifestyle and taking MDR Vital Factors with my daily MDR Fitness Tabs over the last 20 years has made a difference. I feel as good today as I did in my 40s and Im 78! Got to run now..time for my tennis match with Ed!
