Daily Multi's....

[BigDogg]

This may be a retarded question, but it has had me curious for the longest time. actually i have two questions.. here they go

1) What is a good multivitamin? Right now, I'm using One-A-Day's... Are these sufficient?

2) Multi's have 100% daily values of most of the vitamins in them. If thats 100% of what you need, why are there vitamins out there w/ like 5000% vitamin E, and so forth? I hope i worded the question right.

Please get back to me. I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Off the top of my head, a good multivitamin has 500mg of vit c and 400 iu of vit e. The values for RDA are based on a 2000 calorie diet for sedentary individuals.

Grab a bottle of Name brand Vit's and hold it up to a Store brand (KMART, WALMART,TARGET etc)
Compare the values and if they are the same buy the cheaper store brand as long as it has the exact same or close ingredients.

If they put more than 100% of all of the different Vit's / Minerels in a milti, it would be huge I guess.

I like Kmart's Theragran M look-a-like because of the extra minerals.

I also take, on top of the Multi, 500 MG C and 400 IU of E

DAILY Vitamin

Short and sweet. I work for a large vitamin distributer.

Source of life by natures plus is the most well thought out daily available. 100% dirived from plant sources their product also includes the enzymes to digest these vitamins. For instance vitamin C dirived from citrus fruit also contains citrus enzymes to help absorb and breakdown more C.


all % are based on a 2000 calorie diet as normal recommended values.

A bodybuilder releases more free radicals (dead Tissue) than any other athlete. normal people need 200mg of Vitamin E to bond to free rads and dipose of them. Bodybuilders need between 1000-1200 to help rid your blood of oxygen binding free rads. Without the proper antioxidants like Vita. E you feel tired and weak after a workout due to blood toxicity levels.

hope this helps
