    Essential vitamins, best brands

    I'm sure this topic has been covered, but what does everyone consider essentials to supplement in? Regardless of what your diet is.
    I currently taking a multi, vit D, and omega3 on days where I don't eat fish. I am ordering some B12 today also, but what are other important ones to be taking? I was always under the impression the vitamins that grocery stores sell are under dosed bullshit and a waste of money, like vit C and zinc/mag.
    What brands does everyone use ? What are considered the "essentials", and how much of them is everyone taking.

    Currently i'm taking a generic gummi multi, b12 and flax and fish oil and a pro biotic. Plan on taking more eventually but those are the only "vitamins". Sorry but I cant get you the amounts right now.

    Looks good with the vitamins austinite.. do you take them all at the same time or split them out over the day with your meals?

    I take
    Creatine ethyl ester 2g
    Vitamin C 1500 mg
    Selenium 200 μg
    B12 100 μg
    Taurine 500 mg twice a day
    Magnesium 150 mg twice a day
    Zinc 30 mg

    I do feel a lot better after taking these vitamins seperately instead of the multivitamin.. on the same time I drink organic milk and eggs I get directly from the farmer to get even more good vitamins.. and I try to get everything in my diet aswell..

    The Cialis I will do more researh about read some other good wtuff about it here on the forum before..

    ^ I take most everything in the morning. Magnesium before bed, Arginine pre-workout. Cialis morning and evening. Cialis is an amazing drug. Lowers BP, good for prostate, excellent Nitric Oxide booster and a host of other benefits.

    Not enough of anything in there. That's the problem with Multi-vitamins/minerals, etc... They try to pack so much into that one pill, you end up with very small doses of each, in most cases rendering it ineffective.

    Ah damn, I hadn't looked that far yet, just heard good reviews. You're right though, if they try and pack too much in, you get less overall.

    I'm gonna look up how much they are individually.

    Still take the same products, but certainly lower doses or less frequent.

    no. That's the nice thing about cialis. Very controlled. Unlike Viagra. I only get hard when stimulated or if I just want to.

    So that's not a very good quantity or what. Ive been taking 4 a day, so 1200mg of EPA DHA... whats the recommended dose?
    I read somewhere 600-1000mg is sufficient?

    Sure it is. You're taking it 4 times a day But you're wasting most of it if you're not taking it with vitamin E.

    I take it all at once usually with breakfast, and I take 500iu Vit E with it.
    Does it matter taking it all at once?

    Good dose of E. And yes, it matters, Vit E and Omegas always together.
