Thread: What is a good multi-vitamin?

I'm sure I will get some laughs from this, but Nutrilite (the med division of AMWAY) makes some really good multivitamins, along with every other type of vitamin/mineral supp. They contain everything in Centrum like products, plus some. And they are very pure. I can give you some info if you want it. (I'm not trying to sell you anything, I don't have the time to deal with that company, if you know what I'm talking about.)

Just out of curiosity, I use Centrum and I wonder why people have such a negative attitude towards them?

I dont have a negative attitude towards it at all. Hell, they were probably the first one's to come out with a multivitamin.

Hmmmm...centrum. I could eat them like candy.

Well, anyway, I told a girl in our lab that I used Centrum and she said "oh my, that's not good at all." And then went on about some radio show... then my Centrum faith was tested.

I guess we're both in trouble Earwax, I use Centrum as well, mostly cause I'm cheap.

I just usually look for the cheapest one that contains high amounts of lots of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E and calcium, many multis leave these out.

NOW Foods ADAM. Cheap and loaded with everything but the kitchen sink.

ON Optimen. Its a good multi and also has a decent dose of enzymes and aminos.

I sometimes take Green super food from Amazing Grass. It is green powder that I put in my protein shake along with some olive oil.

Country Life Max for Men. Been taking it for many many years.

You might want to check into a whole foods multi vitamin by a company such as Nature's Plus Source of Life, Soloray Enhanced Energy, or Life's Fortune vitamins.

Whole Food multi vitmains are derived from FOODS rather than manufactured from chemicals. I know that there are those who would beg to argue, but natural molecules are simply better than synthetic when it comes to Co Enzymes, Minerals, etc. If you will just try them and see the difference, you will agree that the results as far as a good "improvement of well being" are WAY better with whole food derived multi vitamins.

I can go on tangents about whole centrum vitamins fully intact in the bottoms of portable toilets, synthetic vs natural vitamin E, etc...

Thank for the info. I never thought about it. I always think that it is impossible to put so many vitamins in one little pill, therefore I always buy I either super food green powder or packet multivitamin like 'Animal Pak.'

I'm a firm believe in Animal Pak

I always buy multivitamin like Animal Pak.

I take this regularly and sometimes I switch it up with MST MVP, it is another extremely good multi. Orange Triad is really good if you have chronic joint issues as over time it will work to make it a thing of the past, especially if you take it with extra joint support supps.

This is not entirely correct.

Source of Life and Solaray use regular vitamins and minerals w/ herbs and whole foods added to the mix so they can slap 'whole food' on the label. The vitamins and minerals they contain are not from whole food sources.

There are very few companies that actually use 'whole food' vitamins and minerals. Pure Essence Labs, New Chapter Organics, Garden of Life would be closer examples of whole food multivitamins. However, even those could be argued as not being 'whole food.'

I know that there are those who would plead to contend, but natural substances are easily better than synthetic when it arrives to Co Enzymes, Minerals, etc

I asked Heavyiron this question, he recommended Men's One a Day without iron. No need to be super fancy in my opinion, just make sure to take em.

I usually buy a full spectrum with antioxidants and minerals and always use a probiotic, that, believe it or not, was originally made for animals. It works very well.
