    What multi-vitamin to get....

    Hey guys im looking into getting some multi-vitamins i know that this thread has been started before and people have asked the same thing im going to most likely, but i couldnt find any good threads on this topic. What type of multi-vitamin would be the best for me? im 17 / 175 lbs / and im working to get lean i take a few supplements and i also take vitamin C but i was reading around on the web and it said that a multivitamin can help to increase fat loss and it also adds nutrients and vitamins that you might not be getting or might not be getting enouph of into your diet. Are all multivitamins from all companies basically the same? or do they have different effects and what are some of the better ones (more liked brands). thanks for your help.

    Vitamins are absorbed in trace amounts to regulate metabolic functions.

    I buy 5,000 Multi-Vit/Min at Wally World for $1.49. Take two a day. What else do you need?

    Take 2 grams of C, some E, and fish oil... also available at Wally World. That's it.

    I take the Vitamin Shoppe's house brand multi vitamins. I know they work because they turn my pee bright yellow.

    The one with Niacin I'm pretty sure it's B3.

    For multivitamines make sure you get something with enough zinc, like 10mg per tablet so you can take two and get 20mg. Also you might want to consider more zinc if you have sex often because you lose a lot in your semen. Take a B complex with your multis for good "energy" health. Any B specific supps aren't very effective by themself which is why the complex is good. Most multis don't give you enough of the Bs to give you noticable benefit. Shoot for at least 400mg of Folic Acid also.

    The best Multis are the ones that have a multimineral included, if you find a multi you like that doesn't have a multimineral that's no big deal just buy a multimineral seperate because magnesium, chromium, copper, iron, etc are all beneficial to your health and will help you with your weight loss effort.

    The ones to take aside from your multi (already mentioned) are Vitamin C (1-2g) Vitamin E (1g) and 2g of Omega3 and 2g of Omega 6. Omega 6 is best to get from cold pressed oils rather than a supplement though. So 2g of fish or flax oil should work fine.

    it might also be because he's dehydrated that early in the morning.

    Yep, you're right. I loved that movie. But, it's my x-wife's reference to Walmart. No fun being there though.
