Do a lot of you guys take multi-vitamin supplements? For example, a friend recommended Optimum Nutrition "Opti-Men" multi-vitamins:

Relatively inexpensive, but are they really worth it? Also, do you guys usually take the 1 serving a day (2 tablets) or do you use more?

Thanks!

I don't know that the brand of the multi-vitamin matters much.

On a a related note, don't forget your multi-mineral.

For men it is recommended to avoid a multi vit-min that contains iron.

I take 1 every morning and 1 along with my pwo shake.

Multi-mineral? I don't know very much about supplements. I really hate to sound ignorant, but would you mind explaining the importance of multi-minerals as well as perhaps make a recommendation as to which kind and/or brand to get?

So both of you guys think mutli-vitamin brand is not important, as long as it does not contain Iron (which Opti-Men does not)? Is this common knowledge?

A multi-mineral is just like a multi-vitamin. Is just contains minerals (chromium, zinc, etc.) instead of vitamins.

Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up; I kind of feel like I asked a dumb question there . Are multi-minerals really that necessary though? And I also noticed that they (at least this particular one) contains Iron. Shouldn't this be avoided (for men)? Or is that just for multi-vitamins? Thanks.

It sure is. You go ahead and take the periodic table to the store. They should be all there, they will try to sell one without gold, donīt buy it.

So, you don't think that bodybuilders should take a multi-mineral?

I know everyone despises GNC, but I take their mega men multivitamin. They had a holiday special or something where they added 33% more for the same price. It works for me.

Me too! ... I really like the multi pak. It has some good stuff in it. Plus, it's a decent price with the gold card. I also like the whey protein powder from GNC.
