muti vitamin help

[yoxtheox]

whats the best muti vitamin out there? No gnc crap please

 

[vortrit]

I use ADAM by Now. I don't know if I'd say it's the best though, but it's decent.

I used to take GNC vitamins. I can't stomach going into the place anymore.

 

[skunny]

I used to take ADAM too.
Now I use opti-men by optimum nutrition
both are good

Source of life.

 

[Jodi]

Nutrient 950, Sources of Life, ADAM are good.

When looking for a multi vitamin the key things to look for are:

B6-P5P
Methyl B12
Calcium CITRATE - no carbonate shit
Magnesium CITRATE - no carbonate shit
No Iron for men - Iron for women only
Vit D3
200mcg Iodine

 

[PreMier]

the best are probably made by synergy worldwide.. but $$$$$

i use twinlabs daily one for men

Actually the synergy doesn't look like a good product to me at all. The magnesium is way too low, they don't use P5P or methylcyanocobelamin for B12 they use cheap D3, zinc is low and the iodine is way too low.

Is that your super bee or cornet?

 

[PreMier]

sorry, should have been more specific. here are the 3 i used to use, still no good?

CyberPlex

MetaPlex

TheraPlex

 

[Jodi]

Those arn't very good at all either.

You are missing some key things in there like a few B vits. There is no way near enough magnesium. No iodine for thyroid support (especially helpful for those cutting), Calcium is super low, B12 is garbage.

[Jodi]

ALCAR is awesome!

It's better.

 

[Jodi]

Amazon.com: nutrient 950 - Health & Personal Care: Health & Personal Care
180 caps for 1 month supply.

 

[PreMier]

ALCAR is awesome!

It's better.

so alcar is good? anything to mate with it for synergistic effects?

 

[Jodi]

ALA is great with it and I believe glutatione too. Glutathione doesn't absorb too well and I believe the combo help with absorption. If I recall........

 

[Jodi]

Sorry I take that back. The stack ALA and ALCAR help increase the production of glutathione.

 

[PreMier]

yea, i take R-ALA right now. so take r-ala and the alcar, and glutathione all at once? how many times a day? also where would i gut glutathione? BN?

 

[Jodi]

Sorry you don't need glutathione. That's why I posted my next message. ALA and ALCAR help increase glutathione production so you don't need to take additional glutathione.

I take ALA with my meals and the ALCAR before and after my workouts.

 

[PreMier]

you can take the ala 3x's a day right? ala helps with uptake/transport of creatine too

 

[Jodi]

Yes

 

[PreMier]

can i take the alcar with a shake or better on empty stomach?

 

[Jodi]

ALCAR is better without food.

 

[yoxtheox]

is ALCAR a pill?

 

[Twigz]

Nutrient 950, Pure Encapsulations, 90 Vcaps - Pure Encapsulations

[Jodi]

Yes, that's the one. I buy in bottles of 360 so it lasts 2 months.

 

[Twigz]

Ahh, back to the searching...

[Delusional]

[PreMier]

[Delusional]

lol, wait whats the ala's then? whatever you said helped with the uptake and transport of creatine?

 

[PreMier]

ala or r-ala. alpha lipoic acid. there is an s isomer and an r isomer, the r is the beneficial one, so i buy straight r-ala. let me get an info post, hangon
