What multi vitamin do you guys recomend?

I like Animal Pak or Optimen from optimum nutrition. As long as I get vitamins then I don't care 
I've heard good things about ruthless 3D from NTBM but haven't tried it yet.

Opti-men is good for the money.
Optimum just came out with some athlete multi similar to animal pack a couple months ago, haven't used it. Animal pack is the best from my experience no doubt.

Multi vitamin give no performance boost, useless and waste of money.. They will give you one thing and thats for sure, a neon light colored pee and a lighter wallet.
i can get everything i need from food, I only take a B vitamin complex, since they are extremely important IMO.

Absolutely not true.
Any multi will work, but if you want to know what's best for bodybuilders and the truth about Animal Pak, check this out: Dx7 Multivitamin for Bodybuilders and Athletes - Bodybuilding Supplement - Nelson Montana - YouTube

Just because it doesn't give an immediate or near immediate boost like joose or stimulants doesn't mean it's useless.
P.s. when I take mine with a large meal about 2 hours before I workout my pee stays clear all day

Good vid, but I do have one question. You say that DX7 is better because it is in capsule form and dissolves quickly. Wouldn't a tablet actually be better for absorption because the micronutrients are released gradually over time? I believe on the packaging of animal pack it says that the pills are of different size and coating specifically to control rates of digestion to increase absorption. What I'm asking is whether any of that actually means anything, or if capsule form actually is better?
Ruthless 3d. Im a firm believer.
Ruthless3d check the ingredients on n2bm!

No offense bud, but please stop selling me your line of supplements, i dont buy them..
You can get everything you need from foods, if you need a multi vitamin then your diet is NOT in check and you need to eat more fibrous veggies and fruits, they have plenty of vitamins and minerals for healthy body, adding more multi on top of this is just a waste of money, you pee the rest out.
Thanks

I think like half of EF is a rep for a company. How can someone expect us to take them seriously if we know they have motive to suggest a product even if it will do nothing for us? Lol I think your the first person I've seen actually call someone out on it.

I say you should get it from food.

I agree 100%
Even if your diet is in check, a good multi vitamin is still important imo. Everyone will agree with that. That's why there is so many post from good members on the subject. They are definitely important, they definitely make a difference, and the definitely help! There's plenty of gaps in a great diet that a multi vitamin helps with.
If you don't take one now. You should do some research on them and you will realize that basically everyone takes one.....its for a resone.

I agree with your post to a degree. It is true, there are a lot vitamins in food and people should up their fibrous veggies intake. However, I believe a multi vitamin should be inserted if one engages in vigorous activities to avoid depletion of vitamins taking in by food. Now, is one multi vitamin better than the other, I would say NO. There are NO revolutionary, body composition changing multi vitamins on the market.
The kid asked me what multi vitamin I recommended. I flat out told him to go to Walmart and buy their brand because a multi vit is a multi vit ; and that he would save a lot of money, and reap the same benefits from Walmart's brand as he would from any other brand. Evidently, he did not listen and he believed the hype and got ripped off..

It just I had a vitamin shop giftcard from Christmas and I was comparing the vitamins and ingredients and it seemed like the pak had the most for your money. I couldn't go to walmart because I just had the giftcard
my view is yes a diet with a lot of veggies will easily yield ample vitamins.. as well as spending some time in the sun soaking in vit D or an infrared sauna which is safe from UV's..
HOWEVER.
those of us who bodybuild and especially juice we need an extra boost. taurine is a perfect example, good luck running dbol or tren without some taurine.. (guess which foods contain taurine? HUMAN BREAST MILK!! so have fun sucking on a pregnant chicks nipples to get your taurine!!) without taurine the pumps become very counter productive.. as well as vitamins to help with our lipids. good luck being deep into cycle and growing and not having organ strain without getting some extra help.
this is why i always recommend N2guard on cycle. it covers it all...
so yes eat your veggies!! and eat your veggies!! and eat your veggies some more!! but also there is a place for vitamins as well

excuse me but I run the EF team's reps.. and no half the members here aren't reps. nelson is NOT a rep either.. might want to get your facts straight bud.
there are 5 reps total and guess what my reps get paid? with SUPPLEMENTS!! so if the supplements sucked like you are thinking then why would they even bother being reps being paid by a shitty supplement? hmmmm.. doesn't make much sense does it? btw we have a waiting list of guys itching to get on the rep team, it takes about a year to get on if they are lucky.. and the guys that are current reps we 90% of the time end up buying addition supps on top of the ones we get for free.. because we love em.
if i ever found out a rep was lying or just trying to 'make a sale' they would be fired so fast their heads would be spinning and they know that. so please don't teach me how to do my job, i don't go to your work and meddle in your job.. so don't come on here meddle in mine either
you try the product and if it sucks then send it back, get your money back and go shop at GNC or walmart and buy your soy/sugar/corn filled supplements there. no one on here has a motive i assure you, there is no conspiracy
this right here sums it up.
and the way the hardcore guys on here train its like comparing a normal person who drinks half a gallon of water a day to us who need 1-2 gallons a day.
No, because by the time the tablets break down completely they can already be in the lower intestines and not absorbed. The body is designed to absorb nutrients after the stomach breaks down the food -- so you want your vitamins and minerals in the food, not in the waste.
Sure, just eat 300 oranges and you'll get the same vitamin C content as a good multi. No problem.
No offense pal but feel free to fuck off. No one is forcing you to buy anything. I'm informing the members of some nutritional facts. If you have a disagreement with those facts, state them. If not, shut up.
And your comments that anymore vitamins that can obtained from fruits and vegitibles is a waste, is just flat out ignorance. That may be true for the 50 year old housewife but the needs of bodybuilders is extraordinary. If you don't know what you're talking about please refrain from making posts that misinform members.

Water soluble vitamins sure a multi ever day would help but those fat soluble vitamins u don't need everyday
My best friends father is one of the top nutritionists in the world - head of department of a top 10 university - and insists that amyome not takimg a daily multi is just flat out retarded. Yes you can get the bare minimum of what you meed from your diet. But to get optimal amounts you have to supplement.

Is he really buffed?
Well, he might benefit from vitamin supplementation but bodybuilders certainly have a greater need than the RDA suggests.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. He and I are both agreeing with you that you should be taking a multi and getting more than most think needed. As I said above, he says anyone NOT taking a multi to supplement their diet is retarded.
My mistake. I read it as anyone WHO takes a multi...LOL. Sorry. : )
