NOW Foods - Special Two - 120 Vegetable Capsules
★★★★★— Linnea F.Yes, this has a good combination. But I saw no visible results except for my energy levels (yes, my daytime sleep has disappeared). If you are lacking any mineral or vitamin, this would help. In my case, it does not. And the capsule shell is like plastic (yes, it is not toxic, but I feel it is not good for daily consumption).

Description
Product Overview
NOW Foods Special Two is a carefully formulated multivitamin and mineral supplement in the form of vegetable capsules, packaged in a jar containing 120 capsules. The product is developed by NOW Foods, an American brand with over 50 years of experience in the health food industry, known for its high quality standards and transparent manufacturing process. Special Two offers a broad nutritional profile with both fat- and water-soluble vitamins, essential minerals, as well as selected plant-based extracts and digestive enzymes. The combination is intended to provide a versatile nutritional base suitable for daily use, with extra focus on bioavailable mineral forms and plant components such as spirulina, chlorella, green tea, and milk thistle. The product is particularly interesting for those seeking a comprehensive supplement where classic vitamins meet natural extracts and enzymes in a vegetable capsule.
Active Ingredients 26 Science
Special Two contains several well-studied vitamins and minerals in forms adapted for good absorption. Vitamin A is present as beta-carotene, a provitamin that the body can convert as needed. Vitamin C is supplied both as calcium ascorbate and ascorbic acid, where calcium ascorbate is a gentler variant for the stomach. Vitamin D appears as ergocalciferol (D2), a plant-based form, and vitamin E as d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate, a natural variant with high bioavailability. The minerals, for example iron in the form of Ferrochel (iron bisglycinate), are known to be gentler on the stomach and easier for the body to absorb. The B vitamins are included in relatively high doses and in stable forms such as cyanocobalamin (B12) and folic acid, which is common in multivitamins to ensure stability and function.
Benefits 26 Uses
- Provides a broad base of both fat- and water-soluble vitamins that can support a varied diet.
- Contains minerals in forms with good bioavailability, which may facilitate absorption.
- Vegetable capsules are suitable for those who want to avoid gelatin and prefer plant-based alternatives.
- Plant-based extracts such as spirulina and green tea provide additional nutrients and antioxidants.
- Digestive enzymes in the formula may contribute to good digestion and nutrient uptake.
- Suitable for individuals with an active lifestyle who want to ensure a broad nutrient intake, especially during increased demands or varied diets.
- Practical packaging with 120 capsules provides long-lasting access to daily supplementation.
Usage 26 Dosage
The recommended dosage is 4 capsules per day, which can be taken at once or divided into separate doses. For best comfort, it is recommended to take the capsules with a meal to facilitate absorption and reduce any potential stomach irritation. The product can advantageously be combined with other specific supplements if a particular need exists, such as extra vitamin D or omega-3, but should not be exceeded without consultation. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water when taking the capsules.

The products are manufactured according to GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practice) in the USA and undergo extensive testing for purity and content. Special Two is produced without unnecessary additives, colourings, or preservatives, and the capsules are entirely vegetable-based, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
