Thread: multivitamins

sure, just like any supplement some are crap and some are quality.

Wish there was a way to tell the good from the bad.

Recently i have started using ADAM Multi-Vitamin For Men!. The ingredient list sounds good. But i wonder if it really is

Okay, here is the nutrition boy speaking. Eat a well balanced diet, which is really not hard to do, just takes a little time to prepare your meals, and you won't have to spend a fortune on a multi.

you see I don't really want to be on a multi but how realistic is a well balanced diet. All the food here is processed to the bone. I am interested in bulking and I think a multivitamin will only help as long as im not throwing out a lot of money

Your problem is that you are more than likely overpaying. Even at GNC you can get a pretty decent MegaMen multiple vitamin multiple mineral for about 8-10 dollars a month. NOW also makes some good multis that are cheap. Nature's Way is my pick based on the ingredients. They all seem cheaper than what you mention.

Where exactly is here?

I personally think MAX FOR MEN made by COUNTRY LIFE with the MAXI-SORB DELIVERY SYSTEM is a very good one its a a few extra bucks but i think its deff a top one.

I use animal pak. I like it

the one that I'm on is call now, speacial two. it says take two a day but i take one just because of the price. anyone ever heard of it?

A well balanced diet with real food, not processed stuff will give you most of what you need.

Though there are some that are good to take as you wont get that from food alone, unless you consume large quantities. E.g. Calcuim. As a BBer it is a good idea to supplement with it.

The multi i take suggests 2 pills a day. I take only one. Too much of multis can result in hypervitaminosis.

I believe in taking a multi-vitamin, it would be difficult for an "athlete" to get enough vitamins/minerals from food alone IMO.
