Good multi-vitamin

[Mxer17]

Just wandering what a good overall mulit-vitamin would be (ex. Mega Men from GNC) that's just an example.

[JJ]

Twinlabs DualTabs

[Feli Fly]

C-Silver or generic OneSource ones from Wal-Mart (family size is enough for almost a year and $15)

[HANSEL]

SuperNutrition Mens blend

[josekilla]

I use gnc mega man

[TNUTS]

GNC Mega

[Torpedo]

Solgar
Twinlab
LEF
Solveray

[Hazcat]

Flinstones Chewable are tasty!

[timeahs]

GNC? GNC! What a waist of money. I blew too much of my money there on their way marked up prices... try nearly double the cost you can find online. The undisputed best vit and min supplement are the animal paks by Universal. Way more vits and mins, plus extra trace elements, aminos, and some other things you don't need. You can get 44 paks for less than 20 bucks online. Oh, and trust me, you only need 1 pak a day to watch your urine turn to radioactive yellow and know that you're getting way more than your body needs. A word to the wise, you'll get way more for less. There are always downfalls though. About 4 pills in the pak are absolutely huge; don't try to swallow them whole. Use a sharp knife, cut the horse pills up, and save your throat.

GNC mega man...but I only take one a day instead of two

DONT LAUGH BUT BALLYS HEALTH CLUB MULTI IS EXCELLENT TAKE IT EVERY DAY

[glassman]

Go to Sams or Costco and pick up a generic brand of multi vitamin. Cheap and you get a tone of them. Most of whats in them you just piss out anyway. Get most of your vitamins and minerals from food and don't rely on the tablet.

[Herc]

I'm bumping this becuase I feel that it's important to get a quality multivitamin as one of the cornerstones of your training.

My multi of choice is Life Force Multiple from Source Naturals IRON FREE. If you're a woman who has periods then grab the one with iron.

[TestGoblin]

A simple Centrum twice a day.

[MERTON]

i think i may try the whole foods one with chelated iron again soon. now i'm using this spectravite thing from cvs pharmacy.

it does matter what vitamin you take. not all the vatamins in the pill are always absorbed. make sure that the pill bottle at least has the usp rating on it for the cheap stuff.

edit... look at this!

I remember Susan saying that they did some tests and that many of them including Centrum didnt even dissolve.

[Gretchin]

I use ULTIMATE NUTRITION- Super Complete Formula, I don't like GNC prices.

If that's true I'd like to see the study since I've always wondered if I'm throwing my money away. Susan?

I don't think it was an offical study. I believe this was Susan's own test. Nonetheless, I still hold it as valid.

[Sappho]

Thanks! I will have to reconsider buying them again :confused:

You could try sending Susan a PM. I will see if I can find her post. I think it was on this board, but I am not certain.

[Sappho]

Thanks! I think I will do that. I spend enough $$ on supplements as it is, LOL :)

Yeah, me too. I searched for the post, but I didnt find it. I found one were she says multi's are good unless its Centrum or anyother cheap generic stuff, but she didnt quote why.

[Sappho]

Hmm, well thanks for searching, I'll go bug her. I use one from a local health food store that costs wayyy more than Centrum, lol. I certainly hope it's not just making my piss really expensive.

Hahaha. Well let me know what she says, as I am interested too.

that one looks really good. it doesn't have the dl version of vitamin e and it has chelated iron. it should be easily absorbed.

that's a damn good multi for the price! i'm gettin it!

[Susan]

There was no test/study. The comment he is referring to is one I made regarding pathophys, and the fact that we used to find undigested vitamins in our cadavers.

Vitamins should be insurance anyway. Let's talk about how many green veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc...you're getting.

that's a good budget setup i think. that animal pak just costs too much.

[hdansjr]

I've used Univeral Nutritions Animal Pak for a while. I also was using One-A-Day, i was splitting them in half to help with the dissolving and taking 3 of the halfs.
