Essential vitamins, best brands

[cj111]

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.

[Armykid93]

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.

[cj111]

You taking injectable b12 or just oral ?

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.

Cool thank you guys, I will look more into the Cialis and other vitamins so I can start using them in the future

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.

Just seeing this now. Thats a well laid out list.

Any major differences to these volumes off cycle?

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.

Roger that. ^^

Where do you get your cialis?

[cj111]

If youre on Cialis and theres a breeze in the gym and it blows up your pant leg, do you sport a half chub ? Or does it not work like that, Ive always wanted to try some

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

[austinite]

Where do you get your cialis?

I have a prescription, but I have backups in case I run out from ar-r.com.

[Armykid93]

Think it would make someone piss hot?

[cj111]

How hot? Franks red hot hot? Or are you saying it would be hot to watch someone piss. Im confused now

Anyone familian with ON Nutrition? I have their Omega 3s..I just realized though looking at the label it says

Fish Oil - 1000mg
Total omega 3's - 300mg.

Where the hell is the other 700mg?
Has EPA and DHA listed also but no quantities.

^ 300mg total EPA and DHA. (fatty acids). The rest is oil.

[OnTheSauce]

I use controlled labs oximega fish oil. Animal pak multi and soon the animal flex pack for joint support. Also Gnc branded hawthorn berry extract.

[cj111]

^ 300mg total EPA and DHA. (fatty acids). The rest is oil.

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.

[cj111]

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?

[austinite]

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