I was dragging thru the day and even felt like nodding off while driving. That was it. I tried Vital Factors because my friend said it gave her back her natural youthful energy. Within the first two days of me taking the drink, I was no longer getting tired. I felt more alert and had more focus to get more done. I also found I slept better. So grateful I found you. I will tell all my friends that aging doesn’t have to slow us down. Try MDR Vital Factors!

"I take VitalFactors and give it to my patients."
How it works
A 90-second morning routine.
Two effervescent tablets, one glass of water, before breakfast. Five days on, two days off.
- 01
Drop two tablets in 8 oz of water
Stir, let them dissolve, drink. The effervescent format puts the actives into solution your stomach can absorb directly.
- 02
5 days on, 2 days off
Take your two tablets in the morning Monday through Friday, then take a two-day break. The rhythm keeps the body responsive.
- 03
Give it about 30 days
Most customers report feeling steadier energy and clearer focus inside the first month of consistent use.
Why this is different
A multivitamin is a starting point. This is a complete formula.
A standard multivitamin covers basic vitamin deficiencies. VitalFactors adds the things that actually matter for healthy aging — NAD support, amino acids for recovery, and well-studied antioxidants — at meaningful doses.

|---|---|---|

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.
I’ve been using this product for years and have never been disappointed. The product does what it says,, gives energy and vitality.
I was getting tired and needing to nap in the afternoon. I was putting off projects because I did not have the energy to tackle them. Now just one month after taking Vital Factors, I am my old me again…or i should say the YOUNGER ME again. I have more energy, mental sharpness, and don’t get tired but I fall asleep better at night. I am back to bicycling and swimming and feel healthier. Thanks for making this formula.
