Thread: Multivitimins

Bodybuilders should, at the very least use a multi because of the limited diet we usually take on from this lifestyle. I'm a big fan of using the cheap multis that include some minerals with it. Got to any drug store and find what's on sale. Dont fall in to the bullshit that you need a list of stuff.

Ok then thanks any site I can order some reasonable ones from?

Walmart $4 generic multi-vit. 1 at breakfast 1 at bedtime.

I think mine is the generic from Rite-aid. They were having a 2 for 1 sale, and I'm a cheap SOB. Just don't waste money on anything fancy.

Ive been using the DX7 for a while now. good stuff.

read the labels..don't go by popular brands...the money they spend on advertising is passed on to the consumer...buy the store brand

I was wondering else what to take and what nutrients to take with some stuff. Thnks for the help

why are they good? what makes them better than generic brands?

I take animal pak

Taken cheap ones, expensive ones, Animal Pak and so far CL Orange Triad has kept me healthy, aided with joints and I get help with digestion. Sure it is expensive but it is the same as the Animal Pak and I think the split dosing really keeps your body getting what it needs all day. If money is an issue, I say go with the suggestion above, it looks to be very complete.

Garden of Eden makes a good multi for men, RAW for Men. Also, Universal Animal Pack is a classic

NOW Adam is the best multivitamin I've found for a reasonable price.

I ordered a bottle of Opti-Men it's a 3x-day multi

but I just got them to have as one to pop every once and a while, like a little "vitamin pep" you know, some B's, some C, it's like GNC's Mega Men

How about those multi's where you have to take a couple a day ??? (AFTER YOU TAKE A 1X-DAY IN THE MORNING...)

I have the ON Opti also. Seem okay to me. After I run out I'll probably just keep going with my off brand multi. I haven't been able to tell a difference.

I used to take Optimen, I think. Now I just get the cheap ones at Walmart.

every vitamin and mineral is important in its own way.
pick up something cheap from cvs or duane reade

DX7 by protein factory looks oresome

Animal pak here

my diet is so rich in fruit, vegetables and lean protein Ive stopped using MultiVs . .

Anybody know who has or offers a Multi-vitamin in bulk at a really good price, one with a good ingredient profile that doesn't have any extra IRON?

Most have Iron in them, don't need the extra Iron, because of our diets and the miniscule amount that our bodies actually require.

is there anything i should look for in a multi? or just the cheapest i can find?

how about this from gnc?
