Default Multivitamins

I used to be under the impression that all multi vitamins were created equal. I'm inclined to disagree with that initial impression. What multi's do the rest of you use? What would you consider a "good" multi?

I think Animal Pak has to be the best one out there.

multivitamins seem to be bad for you from what im reading and no studies have shown them to improve performance.

vitamin D has shown some very good health benefits.

I am currently making a list of things that are good for general health, constantly reading - researching.

all please look at this Multivitamins—a Health Hazard? - On Men (usnews.com)

many thanks

How do you know they're "good"? I mean, its not like you get all kinds of extra benefits from them and to be honest, unless you are severly cutting your diet to lose weight, it's really a waste of money.

I used to be all over it, but now, I think its a crock. You piss out most of what's in it anyways.

Strongly disagree here bud. Multivitamins should be a staple in your bodybuilding supplement regime. You need vitamins to ensure proper growth and recovery.

I disagree.

Yes, most of what we need we should be getting from food but with the way food is mass produced & with all the hormones & crap they pump into livestock these days, the nutrient count is severely lacking in comparison to the same foods produced say 30 - 40 years ago.

We do pee most of the supplemented vitamins out but what we do absorb is plugging the holes that our diet may not be quite fulfilling.

Animal pack is my favorite because of its price and quality. Mega men is too expensive for its value

I think they are too expensive and way too many pills. No need to chuck down 2 packets of pills.

I use ISS Research vitamins. They are only 1 multi-pack and only $10 bucks for a month supply.

I have a question about when to take multis. Can I just take them in the morning with a weight gainer? or does it have to be taken with solid food in order for them to work properly? does it matter what time of day i take them?

I would definitely take them with a meal. My reasoning being some vitamins/minerals are fat soluable. In addition, I would also guess that taking with food will slow down the digestion process from which your body will have more time to absorb the vits/mins in the multi.

But I write this just based on logic. I'm sure somoene else can be more specific on the science behind it and if I'm even on track...but I think it makes sense
