Unless someone has an explenation why I am wrong...I think at the end of the day a Vit is a Vit...as long as it has the things you want.

[JJ78]

Vitamin D 5000 x 4 a day
Fish Oil x 4 a day

Everything else comes from food.

Is a car just a car? Is sustanon or super test just the same as test-C or test-E?

I try to avoid multis. There's nothing terrible about them, however its much easier to control individual doses with specific vitamins that you can't always do with a multi.

As an analogy, consider blends vs. single esters. The biggest criticism agains AAS blends is that they contain esters of varying lengths each with variable concentrations so its a bit harder to "dial in a dose" compared to a single ester.

The same argument could be made with multivitamins. For the "average male" (whatever he looks like, lol) the recommended daily amount of niacin (B3) is about 16mg. Several members in this board may take more due to the side effects of gear. Maximum daily safe doses of B3 are about 35mg. You could of course increase your multivitamin dose tiger more B3, but that means you'd be increasing your dose of everything else. Recommended doses of zinc for most men is about 10-15mg/day, but members here may take higher doses (daily recommended max is about 50mg). Again, taking more multivitamins would increase your zinc - and increase everything else too!

I couldn't agree with more. I buy all my vitamins separately. I take about ten or twelve vitamins daily plus B12 IM, DHEA, and Pregnenolone. On cycle, depending on what im taking, other vitamins will be added or increased.

Just started back on Animal Pak now and got Musclepharm BCAA's and cheapo Tesco Fish oil.

[warmouth]

I don't know who takes more, me or austinite. I know after I have mine, I'm full. Been splitting everything up.

I need to look up the contents of Animal pack. But it seems a little expensive. £30 for 44 days worth? Cheaper than the VitaStack I was looking at I guess!

[GirlyGymRat]

Muscle ink. Do you feel the same way for females

Muscle ink. Do you feel the same way for females

Do I feel the same way for females, WRT to vitamin consumption?

Yes, BUT, nutritional needs for men and women are different in some facets. I would still advocate separate supplements in lieu of a multivitamin but the required amounts and specific minerals/vitamins would differ. For example, vitamins and minerals that support bone density would be slightly more important to women with age as a result of menopausal changes. As we now know (especially with low T gaining attention) men clearly go through a "male menopause" with advancing years that would change nutritional demands with age.

I felt animal pak was a bit pricey for what it was too and I only took it once a day.

Flax seed pills over omega any day.

I found two boxes of it in my company car i forgot i had then in there. I know i only paid 60 euro for the two 44 pak tubs or whatever you wanna call it. Im just taking them at night before bed only one pak just for the interest to see if it makes any difference

[S&S_ShovelHead]

orange triad

Same.

[JAB1]

32X for my multi, and animal pack joint formula for when I start aching

[JAB1]

Also 9 fish flax caps a day

[Remington]

I just finished a 2 year supply form Costco

I too have the Costco multi...but I take 2 a day instead of 1.
I used to take Solgar VM75--made my urine neon yellow---so I GUESS it worked.
The Costco brand--even with 2 daily--does not get neon.
I'm guessing it's STILL not as strong.
Yes?? No??

[cc5501]

Flintstones or chewables. I have some stomach issues and GI doctor said that they're better than pills for absorption purposes (for someone like me).

[RajaSultan]

Orange Triad.

Shaklee vite lea. Cheap and nice
