Appreciate the mentioning of Multi-V. It's a solid, comprehensive multi at a very cost-effective value.

Optimum Opti Men and Sportpharma Multi-V are excellent multivitamins
good price and great value
I have used both but am currently using Orange Triad due to the inclusion of additional MSM and Glucosamine, which is sorely need

Universal's Animal Pak
By far the best multivitamin pack thats made. I switched to the multivitamin that Optimum Nutrition makes (OptiMen) once and it didn't do anything for me after using Animal Pak. Im sticking with Animal Pak.

Animal Pak!
Animal Pak is the only multivitamin on the market i have tried. This probably wont make or break your routine but it is very important your muscles receive the right amount of nutrients after being exhausted. Plus everyone should be taking a multivitamin anyway for general health so why not get it all in one convienient pak like Universal has put together. Only one thing to consider, there are 11 pills per pak and about six of those are HUGE horse pills. You could probably get a cheaper sport geared multi-vitamin from GNC or another off brand, but i would rather spend more money on vitamins than some other workout supplements.

Personally I can't wait to do a hard comparison of Animal Pak & Orange Triad.
Obviously vitamins are vitamins are vitamins, so as far as Vitamin content they're about even.
What is UNEVEN is how well they're absorbed by the body, and one important selling point of the Orange Triad product (imo) is the Joint supplement.
So what better way to test the Joint portion of it than on a person who actually has a bad joint (I had ACL reconstructive surgery, and I can definitely easily tell when my knee isn't functioning at its best). Furthermore my family has a history of arthritis, and my bones tend to get "creaky" when I get cold, with that said, I have never tried a joint supplement before, so I'm looking forward to some results with Orange Triad.
I'll be eating in the same way I was when using Animal Pak, so that should eliminate any inconsistencies based on diet. I'll also be monitoring the color content of my urine as a guideline of how well the vitamins seem to be getting absorbed.
For me the Joint supplementation is the main reason I'm trying out Orange Triad. If it can be at least on par with Animal Pak as far as vitamins go, and can help my joints, I'll consider it my winner.
Although I will currently state that NOW Adam and Animal Pak are two great vitamins supplements, and they're easily some of the better of the bunch.
It'll be up to Orange Triad to determine which vitamin is "best" imo.
Although for the record, I think it's plainly clear that Animal Pak & Orange Triad are probably at the top of the foodchain for vitamins. If you have joint problems, don't want to take joint supplements, or you just don't want to take so many pills, I think Orange Triad should probably be your choice, assuming you're active to some degree.
If you're not active, I think NOW Adam is probably the best bet. It's a no-bs vitamin that definitely gives you everything you need with a few extras that might help you a bit.
Animal Pak is a kickass vitamin as well, although I'd say for the average person it's probably overkill. If you're an athlete of some kind, it's probably the only vitamin you should look to. I've got 7 years of baseball, 2 years basketball, 3 years of football, and 2 years of wrestling under my belt, so that pretty much sticks me in the athlete club. Plus I'm highly active with my friends athletically, so it's my kind of vitamin.
As far as I can tell from comments about Orange Triad, it's geared more toward an athletic person, although not so much the musclehead type of athletic person. Using football positions for reference, Orange Triad would probably be aimed more towards coverage guys or speedier types (positions requiring more athleticism) and Animal Pak would be geared towards power positions (linemen, non-coverage backs).
Regardless, rest assumed I'll be passing judgement on Orange Triad by the end of January. I consider a good multi-vitamin to be THE foundation for dieting, maintaining proper health, bodybuilding, or just flat out LIVING, so I'm very critical of them.
With that said... if your vitamins came from wal-mart, you're short changing yourself. I tried them all... trust me.

Correct. Animal Pak was formulated for bodybuilders/athletes that are pushing themselves. It's certainly not for couch potatoes.
We don't include joint support in it because not everyone needs nor should be taking joint supplements. Also we didn't want to compromise the formula. You can only fit so much into tablets. We designed Animal Flex specifically for joints and if you compare formulas you can see that it has much more than your average joint supplement.
That being said, good luck in your comparison and hit me up if you have any questions.
