How Important Are Multi-Vits
I've heard a lot of people saying you should take multi-vitamins. How good are they really? I'm only 19, and I'm not sure if my body really needs it. Is it not true that my body might get used to the Multi-Vits and depend on them for the vitamins that it gets from them? Also, what Multi-Vits are good to take. I know Centrum is very popular, but don't know if it's mostly for older people. What do you guys take?

Essentials for a Bodybuilder
Hi there,
Just to add to this debate, I would like to know if there are any particualr vit/min which the body requires in particular for bodybuilders?? (as opposed to the average couch potato)
What I have been told is:
1. Multivitamin - to get the basic neccessities
2. Vit. C 1-3g for immune system + recovery
3. 500-1500iu vit E for fatigue + recovery + antioxidant (especially if on a low fat diet for some reason)
4. B-Complex for digestion and energy
5. optionally - extra calcium, magnezium, zinc, vit. D - if you experience cramping or easy injury, otherwise not too essential.
Any other things which might be considered ESSENTIAL if training hard??
Thanks!
