I need a good multivitamin.

Animal paks.. They are really good vitamins. They put some thought into them and came up with some good mixes for bodybuilders...

Also, if you dont want to spend that much.. Just get a good multi-vitamin and then get some complex B vitamins.. Those are quite important for our lifestyles..
 
I have never felt any real difference with different types of vitamins..Only I did try GNC MEga men with extra Iron and they made every joint in my body hurt...doc said it was too much iron.

Anyway, if you take the labels as truth, then just buy the one that gives you the best bang for the buck.
I have tried all different kinds with different dosing amounts, but I have always gone back to "One Source" that you can get at Walmart.

I use Centrum from Wal-mart. Its faily well rounded.

I think that given the risk of inpurities (i.e. lead), use of fillers, and poor bioavailability of a centrum or one-a-day, you'd be better off taking nothing at all. you get what you pay for. bottom of the barrel is centrum, better is mega men/ animal pak, best is something like pharmanex.

Do you have any sort of documentation to back up this claim?

I think he pulled that out of someones ass..

yep. i did.

that, or i read a study that found levels of heavy metals 3x the amount of the toxicity threshold. not too different than drinking shitloads of tapwater everyday, or eating cans upon cans of tuna, but it adds up in the long run. don't have the study, take my word for it, or don't.

the fact that there is zero regulation by the fda and low quality control by the companies is enough to raise an eyebrow. these companies get their shit from so many different places its hard to control contaminents such as pesticides. i'm not saying taking centrum for 6 days will give you cancer, just something to consider.

aside from the impurities, anyone who's taken a bio/chem course should be able to look at the back panel of a centrum and realize its not gonna do a whole lot of good. you'll see that each capsule contains about 100% daily value of most vitamins/minerals, but how much of that will actually be absorbed by your body, definitely nothing close to 100%.

agreed...
centrum is crap, why pay for 100% D.V. of nutrients when youre getting more than that on a good clean diet...
 
Animal Paks are great, but you'll have a bunch of pills to pop...not to mention the nasty burps. Good stuff if you can deal with those little issues.
 
I always use the Twinlab daily one ....I don't wan't all that crap that the animalpack has in there and I like caps better over tabs

Do you like them a lot.?? You feel they really impact your day?

Ive tried many, and like those the best. I used to get something called Barbarian Paks back in the day, but I dont think they are even made anymore. At least I havent seen them.. Just sucks swallowing 20+ pills a/day..
 
I use DX7 from Protein factory... like Animal Pak, it's supposedly geared towards hard-training athletes... especially higher concentration of B Vitamins... I think it does the job.... it's about $28 for a 30 day supply from PF but bodybuilding.com has it for $16

you won't "feel" multi-vitamins working... if you take a surplus, your body will flush out what it doesn't need (overdose of some could be toxic)... you *will* feel it if you don't have enough of them though
