    I just take mine with meals bro...one in the morning and one in the evening. They are time released. Also, I take extra vitamin C right after my workout.

    i take a multi in the morning with breakfast which is about an hour or so before i lift, then i take another in the evening with dinner. I take extra vitamin c after each. Sorry for hijacking but is it ok to take a flax pill the same time as the multi's?

    I've never heard of any reason not to.

    I think that Vit C even in doses of 4 grms per day can't hurt..after all it's water soluble vit.I take 3000-4000mgs ED of Vit C as ascorbic acid powder..very cheap and effective.

    vit c reduces cortisol so taking it both pre and post workout is a good idea. 2 grams before and 3 grams after and then maby 2-3 grams spread out during the evening.

    im currently taking 15-20 grams/day

    vit.c is best taken with food as it can damage the lining of the empty stomach in big doses

    johan:not wanting to be nosey or anything but 15-20gr of vit.C/day sounds to me like too much. Are you sure you need all that?

    Whatever makes you feel better or gives you better pumps, it's good.
