Whats the best multivitamin?

[HsWrestler]

Whats the best multi that I can buy on bb.com?

[kappaz]

I would go with NOW ADAM. It is reasonably priced and has good dosages for its ingredients

the cheapest you can find, don't worry about it, you should be eating well enough to be getting what you need regardless. Most of the amounts in multis are miniscule compared to what you want anyway.

A good multi is one of the most important things when lifting. Why get the cheap underdosed ones when you can get a good one?? Makes no sense.

[_NotGivingUp_]

if you have a"wild oats" in your area?? they have a time released multi!!

Try Universal Animals Pak or NOW Adam

[Big Poppa]

the best one from bb.com i have tried is the animal pak

[HsWrestler]

I heard animal pak is good but 11 pills is a little too much.

ya ok what do most multis have, 60mg of vitamin C? ya that's really gonna help. All that is, is enough to prevent scurvey. You're part of the group who forget food has vitamins and minerals. But continue wasting money on a multi, I'm sure your gains will be amazing because of it

My multi has 300.00 mg of vitamin C.

The cheap ones like you get only have 60.

ya, there's barely any difference, I supplement with extra B and C, and a bottle of 500 1g vit C pills costs ~15 bucks. 300mg of vitamin C is nothing.

You make a solid point, and for the most part, I agree. Many people tend to forget that a lot of fruits and vegetables are very high in vitamins, however, I feel a multivitamin is a staple in the bodybuilding diet. It's just that, like you said, multivitamins tend to be overrated.

[UnionHooligan]

Honestly i was taking animal pack but i got sick of taking soo many pills along all the other supps i take now i take AST which is working fine for me. It is highly debated there is actully a thread in supplement war titled best Multi you should read.

[XXXlift]

id take mega men sport, it gives you up to 33 x's the amount you need to make shure that your body consumes all it needs depending on how active you are

You know it is highly debated if our fruits and veggies have enough anymore.
I have read studies that state there are less in them now then there were 20 years ago. And sometimes it is hard to get all your fruits and veggies in. So i multi is a good way to supplement you dificencies.

[NoNameNecessary]

^^ My point exactly. I feel that fruits and veggies are so chemically grown anymore that they infere with the actual biological processes.

[HsWrestler]

So which one should I take?

[R_N_S]

just buy NOW Adam, seems to be the most popular cheap multi. Or go to walmart and buy whatever generic brand they have. Have a V8/V8 Splash if you're so worried about vitamins/minerals

It's a personal choice there really is no best. So i can't say what is great and what is not. But i would chose either now Adam or AST.

[R_N_S]

1 thing I would be picky about is trying to avoid one with iron, men don't need it and it can easily become toxic

LoL no reccomending Wal-Mart that is a bad word.

[R_N_S]

ha, that's where I buy all my daily supps: B, C, fish oil, glucosamine, etc.

[importrev]

it may be psychological but i definetly feel more "solid and healthy" after taking NOW adam vs centrum. if you do go with a cheap multi stay away from centrum.
