If you check out this product, although a multi-v, it holds up to a lot of the recommendations that d makes about aces and b complex.

Looks good. Still, taking calcium at the same time as everything else is not a good idea IMO.

I also like a lot more Vit-C throughout the day.

Still one of the better multi's though.

[pd4pd]

thanks for reps AM. Returned.

I have been taking this product for about 3 weeks...so far, so good. I have really noticed improved digestion when I take a pill after a meal.

I do not; however, take all 4 pills in a day. rather, i take 2-3 spread out...usually one with each of my biggest meals.


As for the calcium...that was one of my only gripes...but, it is a much lower dose than most MVs.

Junk.

I've been wanting to follow Dinoiii's protocol. What's the average cost spent for you guys? I currently use Ortho-Core and it's like $45 per month. I'm running low and definitely looking into this.

I figure 17 bucks for CMZ, 7 bucks for SeMC, 5 bucks for Isomer E, 5.50 for Country Life Vit A, Vit C is dirt cheap, and the B complex really depends on my diet. A 22 dollar bottle might last me a month or half. Really if I could afford it I would pop the b's like they were candy.
Bare minimum probably around 60-65 bucks. I don't know if I will be able to afford it when I am a full time student again. But to me they are the essentials put before everything else.

yeah thats what I pay at least our dollar sucks enough that it's about a 25% discount for you. I think the high price of AOR's products on top of already over priced Canadian retailers really hurts trying to get their products for a fair price.

C: Now C-500 with every meal
E: Primordial's Toco 8 or Pinnacle Isomer E or Now Tru-E or Carlson Elite Gems

I did a calculation and it's slightly under $1 CDN a day for me. Less for you Yanks.
