Guide Review - MedValet Medications Organizer

When you several medications and supplements, keeping them organized and traveling can be confusing, disorganized, and downright annoying. I've found organizers that have been helpful, but this is the most helpful so far. It combines a tray of seven one-day containers with a lightweight, insulated carrying case that holds additional items and other organizational aids.

The one-day containers are divided into four compartments and hold more capsules and tablets than any I've tried before. To test it, I filled the compartments with my medications and supplements for 24 hours:
  • Morning: half of my supplements - 4 large softgels, 2 large tablets, 2 medium tablets, 2 capsules.
  • Noon: noon medications -- 1 large sprinkle capsule, 2 large capsules, 3 medium capsules, 1 small capsule, 2 medium tablets, 4 small tablets.
  • Evening: the rest of my supplements -- 3 large softgels, 2 capsules, 2 large tablets, 2 small tablets
  • Bed: bed time medications - 1 large sprinkle capsule, 5 medium capsules, 5 regular tablets.

Although many people tend to store medications in the bathroom or kitchen, these are actually two of the worst places to store them because of temperature fluctuations. The MedValet is excellent for storing medications, and a lock can be added to the zipper rings, making it more secure.

Obviously, a great deal of careful planning went into the design of the MedValet. It paid off with an excellent product.
