What do they mean??

.. when "they" say a "good multi vitamin"?

I am looking for actual products and reviews... What do you use and why? right now I am simply taking "One a Day Mens Health formula" because that is what I have in the house..



Also... What about adding Creatine / Whey protein? Not much, maybe a shake before / after workout??

Never really did the "supplement" thing.. looking for general info.

I am 5' 8" - 222 lbs (approx 26% BF) so I am looking to lose (fat) weight and help to stay strong / not loose too much lean muscle. I do realise that a good bit of it will be water weight as the weight / % comes off, so that is OK...

thanks in advance.. (yes I searched, just looking for updated info..)

When I think "good multivitamin" I think of a multivitamin that has the a balanced level of vitamins/minerals that the body needs. That's all one really needs to have. Some have bogus ingredients that are marketed as super nutrients. With names like..."myohytrophic guatamalan tree bark", etc. Avoid those. Also don't spend much money on one, they don't need to be expensive. I use NOW foods men's multi called "Adam". I have no scientific evidence of it being good but I have used alot of other NOW food products are good. They seem to be a legit company.

Whey is a good supplement. You certainly don't need it but it makes getting your daily protein quota alot easier to reach. It is fast calories, easy if you need a quick meal(along with some other foods). It is getting a bit expensive so shop around on that.

Creatine can be worthwhile depending on the individual. It's up to you if you want to drop the money to see how much it can help your training. It definitely isn't a huge factor in training improvement but it does help. My personal opinion on it is to not waste your money.
