TWINLAB IS THE BEST COMPANY IN THIS AREA

Twinlab Daily one is pretty good- high quality, caps easy to swallow if she has trouble getting tablets down. There is not really a vitamin geared toward BB that I'm aware of. Giving attention to diet the way BB & fitness people do (quality proteins, vegies, non-processed foods, etc..), we already get more vitamins than most of the general population (not meaning she doesn't need a vit, btw- just threw in a little cheerleading for our side)

make sure its a women's multivitamin, women need more iron and other minerals then men.

I think twinlab is crap personally, but I'm sure it varies from product to product that they sell- that's part of the problem. Optimum Nutrition makes some good stuff.

My vote goes to Twinlab too... Good price, great quality.

I would tend to avoid GNC. Even if the product is what they say it is, my experience is that they are going to charge a whole lot more than what you could get it for on the internet or by mail-order even if you factor in shipping.

Twin-lab's products are well tested and you can be sure that the contents are what they say they are. Naturally, as the saying goes "results may vary" but the ingredients are all as listed. Check www.netrition.com for some pretty good prices on their products.

I use a product called NEH/Bioenhance from Life Enhancement (http://www.life-enhancement.com/displayprod.asp?ID=56) This is a very good multi but there are two drawbacks. Your girlfriend will have to take an iron supplement and the product is designed to be taken in three daily doses of four or five capsules each but it has darn near everything you can think of in it.

If she has a problem with taking hand-fulls of caps, she should look at some of the Twin-lab three-per-day or one-per-day products. They are light-years ahead of the grocery store brands.

You also might check www.life-services.com. They make some good products and are have a large number of products that are geared toward body building.
