    Optimum Opti-Men

    I know when you buy things like a bag of chips, pills, powders, etc, it's never full. I travel alot, so I ordered 2 bottles of this stuff and it came in today. I was able to put BOTH bottles in one. C'mon now, no need for such waste. I don't need the bottle to be bigger than a comparably priced product to make me think I'm getting more and purchasing it for that reason alone. Then again, I may not be a typical consumer and they are marketing w/the average consumer in mind?? Were any of you surprised (if you ordered these) when you saw it was 1/2 full of pills?

    I have been using opti men for a while. The first time I opened the bottle I was kinda expecting that, lots of cotton and pills. They are not trying to cheat you. It is a great product. I like it because it is three a day. No worries just the packaging.

    I know

    I re-read my post and I guess it kinda sounded that way but I didn't feel cheated. I just think it's dumb to waste money on packaging because that cost gets transferred to us. If there stuff is good (which) it is, don't get into the whole "my bottle is big like the other **** on the shelf" game. But I understand that they have to to keep up w/inferior brands that get sales off of strategic marketing ploys like using a bigger bottle.

    You take it 3x a day..that makes sure that you're getting all the nutrients you need spread throughout the day instead of just one in the morning

    you could just take 2 optimen with breakfast and one with dinner if dosing three times is a problem.

    Optimen is my favorite multi, a great pick

    dosage

    I only plan on taking it 2x a day which mean my 360 pills will last me 6months. I think 3 a day is a bit much. I seriously doubt get any benefit from a 3rd. Matter of fact, I'll probably piss/**** out much of the 2nd one.

    could i just take 2 in the morning and get it out of the way, or would it be better one in the morning and after my postworkout meal. i would take it before bed im currently taking zma and optimen already contains some of the ingredients.

    Split up would be best, but it would not make that big of a difference at all

    Not sure how old this thread is, not trying to jack it at all either. I was wondering what the difference it between an ON Opti-men vitamin, as opposed to let's say, Centrum performance?

    There are extra herbs and minerals added specifically for men and for someone who is an active individual.
