what multivitamin is everyone using?

I use Pro Active (active womens formula) by Interactive nutrition. Unlike many foolish-waste of-money-one-a-day vitamins, this one is taken 3x/day. It has your basic vitamin/mineral combo plus ala, CoQ10,some aminos, digestive enzymes,and green food concentrates inc. alfalfa, green tean, kelp, cranberry blah blah blah. They have a mens version.

Of course supplemented with 1500-2000mg of calcium citrate, vit c, glucosamine and some other little goodies.
 
kay... here's my 2 cents... I am skeptical about paying lots for vits when there's so much in the shakes and healthy food I eat, so I just down some of my kids' kirkland dino chewables

I mean, a vitamin is a vitamin is a vitamin...

ah, it's only 2 cents...

I have not taken a multi -- just my supps B6, Vita E, B12, L Tyrosine......even that seems like too much to me already!

I always heard that if you take nothing else...take your multi-vitamin. That is your base to start from...:confused:
 
oh, I take the apex multi as well. I just went to Trader Joe's recently and picked up some vit C and antioxidants...I hear TJ's vitamins are pretty good--anyone to confirm?

As far as liquid vitamins go, one of my co-workers takes her liquid vitamins everyday. She stores them in the fridge at work, so that may be an issue if you're an on-the-go type of person.

womens' multi are not good for guys because as a guy you don't need extra iron

BTW Life extension, Twinlab and Solgar have good multis ..... though quite expensive
 
All the people I know including myself, my mom, GF.... take the local generica brand. Cheaper and the same as big name formulas...
 
Don't take any!

I'm not concerned about iron or calcium b/c I know I get enough with what I eat (milk, some yogurt & cheese, red meat, broccoli, etc.)

Vitamins make me sick to my stomach! :( even when I DO eat them with food. Besides, I know some vitamins can be toxic when taken in super high doses (well, I know super-hi doses of iron & calcium can be bad, not sure about others). Additionally, isn't it true that, although vitamin C helps the immune system & preventing colds, 4X the daily dose of vitamin C does NOT give you 4x the benefit!!!! That RDA is generally sufficient & you just can't absorb & utilize those super high doses.

Most daily vitamin pills I look at have 500-800% Daily value of almost everything!
 
You guys crack me up....SPATTS LEFT HER COMPUTER!!! :confused:

I take a multi vitamin AM and PM, and a multi mineral mid day...both liquid.

Really? I was under the impression that the RDA was based on flawed studies that were done in the 1950's. :confused:
 
Tropical Oasis...I get them at the local organic grocery store.

Water sol. vits (not fat sol vits like A, D, E, and K) will be "excreted" in excess. Some things help improve uptake...like taking zinc with C. I really treat it all as insurance anyway. I try to get plenty of what I need from food.
