How many here take Vitamins! Need some input.
 

Im in a health kick and I thought buying some vitamins would be a good start.

Now I have heard mixed things. I just went to my local drug mart and picked up a 10$ bottle Centrum Performance complete A to Z.

I later went to my heath food store and found out that that wasnt my best purchase and your body just shits them out that day what you dont need and you need time realeased formula and they are $50.

Does anyone know anything about vitamins?

Sorry, not I :)

I wouldn't necessarily take what the salesperson at the health food store says as fact because he/she is probably just trying to sell you a more expensive product. A lot of the foods you eat have vitamins but I find that by taking a multi-vitamin with iron, I feel a lot better.

Everyone will tell you that their stuff is the only one that will work for you.

It's BEST to get your vitamins, minerals, etc. from the things you consume.

I take a centrum performance every day - it doesn't hurt.. my diet is certainly not what it should be.. I take them because they're a good company, they are easy to get and they don't smell horrible.

I've noticed some health food store brands/products just end up changing the color of my urine (buying expensive pee) - I haven't noticed that with the Centrum product... So until there are totally conclusive tests or whatever I'm just going with these. To each their own..

Even with time release, youshit or piss out what you dont need. With any vitamin but C.

Take a multi vit. and vit C, and you will do fine. But make sure that you take it everymorning after eating. On an empty stomach and you will be praying to the white god.

Not quite what im after but thanks for the time.

Mrs Lenny,

Yah maybe its a mental thing but I feel better taking them as well.

your welcome

Centrum and 500mg Ascorbic acid daily

:smokin

Dennis, I dont eat the best as well, but im working on it. SO i inderstand you have good luck with the Centrum porducts.

I woulndt mind funky colored pee, hahah Im easlisy ammused.

Well, I think it's great that you're taking vitamins regardless of how expensive they are. :)

i dont pills of vitamins anymore. instead, i have 3 fruit smoothies a day (orange juice, stawberrys, bannans and plums.) better to get vitamins from the source rather than a processed pill.

Then try GNC - Ultra Mega Green

Taken as directed will give you some bright and interesting pee.. :1orglaugh

i'm glad you posted this subject.
i have been bragging to everyone i know about
gnc mega gold. (without iron very important)

i even buy bottles of it for friends and family members and they thank me for it.

i have never had so much energy in my life.
i am a chronic pot smoker and i needed something to keep me healthy plus to clear my lungs.

after taking these for one week i have no more weasing or congestion.
when i went to my doctor, he asked me if i stopped smoking because my lungs were so clear. (he knows i smoke pot)

i think clearly. i sleep better. i even shoot bigger loads if you can believe that.

take 2 in the morning with breakfast even if it's just toast or bagal. a full breakfast will be even better. they work much better when you mix them with carbs first thing in the morning. you'll have energy to work out and be able to focous more when you are behind the computer and never get tired.

these things will change your life for the better.

another thing you should get if they aren't discountinued is:
white tea capsules by gnc.

most people take the green tea which is cool. but the white is the strongest.
these teas have what is called polyphenols which is an antioxidant.
they protect your cells from damage if you smoke, drink, use drugs or whatever.

(if you abuse your body by smoking, drinking and not eating right or not getting enough sleep, your blood cells mutate. that's how you get cancer and diseases.)

if you REALLy want optimal health, use noni juice.
http://www.caoh.org/noni-juice.html

this stuff keeps your immune system STRONG.
use this brand and no other. this is the real deal.

it will clear up any infections. helps heal cuts. you can even rinse your mouth with it
to clear any gum disease or bleeding. if you take a cap full as soon as you feel a cold coming on, it will knock that cold out. take it before an onset of flu and you will have less symptoms, plus the flu will be gone in 3 day's.

since i have been using these things, i haven't had a cold or flu in many years.

of course it's your choice to use any of these or not. just my 2 cents.

I take one mega tablet plus
Vitamin C
Vitamin B-12
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Vitamin E
CO Q10
Red Yeast Rice
Coral Calcium Supreme
and a Bayer Aspirin 80mg

Be careful with Vitamin C -- too much, and you'll be pissing stones in no time. I used to take 1-a-day men's, and later 1-a-day active (not at the same time)...I noticed a huge difference when using both, although it didn't last all day. I have a strong immune system, so I don't really get sick all that often, but I also drink quite a bit of tea in the morning.

Hey, thanks for the advice. Gonna run to the GNC store and pick up a bottle of the mega gold stuff, sounds like just what I need. :thumbsup

Screw the expensive stuff, stick with flinstones chewables. Not only are they funny and girls think its cute, they work just as good as most others.
Advice coming from my dietician who helped me deal with my anemia and not some sales counter jockey.

Yep you're right. 2 flintstones are almost as good as prescription prenatal vitamins.
If you've ever taken prenatal vitamins, you can almost watch your hair and nails grow.
Cost to benefit... You can't go wrong with flintstone vitamins.

As some folks on this board know, I am a fitness-a-holic and have been for the past 20 years. Vitamins are the most basic thing you can take. Stick to the vitamins that include enzymes for digestion. Solgar as a rule are the best. A basic Solgar one a day should do you good. If you can't buy Solgar vitamins then just look for the added enzymes in any other brand. I believe GNC has some under their brand.

The enzymes help to make sure that the vitamins are absorbed and utilized instead of just pissed out as they are with your standard multivitamin like Centrum.

GNC is good for their vitamins the rest of their crap is overpriced, those "MEGAMEN" are ok. If you want the best multi go with: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/animalpak.html

those centirum things are designed for old men.

I take the B100 stuff and I found for a while it sorted my shit out for my horrible sleeping, but lately even taking the pills I can't sleep worth shit again. When i started them i also had more energy, which I still do Have.

I'm going to look at that GNC mega gold stuff.

only thing I take is pharmaceutical grade fish oil

it's on purityproducts.com

the Advanced Omega 3

I've tried a lot and have settled on "Alive" by natures way.
No day-glo piss and has organic whole food goodness in it.
1 a day. $16 a bottle.

just find something you'll take.
then its better than nothing.

:thumbsup

give it 7 to 10 days to work.
you'll be a new man.

yeah just take pills man - that will do it LOLOLOLOLO

I take one daily, it costs $10 for 100 of them, so might as well...
I wouldn't pay $50 though, sounds like a waste of $$..

Most companies do not understand how to create certain combinations in certain ways to make an effective vitamin.

I do take a vitamin..and it's GNC Women's Ultra Mega.

Most of my nutrients come from food; but, this is the only one I've found that has anything of value. It also comes in a male formula.

just eat healthy

the extra vitamins are extra
they don't subtitute the real deal, only suplement.

and an over dose of vitamins can flush them all out

Thanks for your input! To bad i didnt see you in Mexico!

Babagirls you may be correct but arnt vitamins cheaper?

Thanks Dennis i will remember that.

Blackfeet thank you so much for taking the time out to reply with such great detail. Im going to hit up my gnc tommorrow and pick up a bottle.

I live a very simmilar lifestyle and if it works for you i can only imagine how it will work for me.

Thanks again!

I finally made it on Saturday evening, but most of the people were crashed to leave the next morning.

Maybe next event.

Are you serious After shock?

hmmm I'm not taking any vitamins as long I've eaten a lot :)

I only take vitamin c everyday.
