Vitamins!!! Fact or Fiction?
 

I know my diet isnt the best in the world and Im trying hard to make proper choices.

So is taking Vitamins a good idea to make up for a somewhat poor diet?

Dio they do anything? Are they placebo's? Which Brand is good? Is there a difference?

Can you recomend a good complete Vitamin?

My brain beelds with all the information on the net and I wish someone would break it down for me.

centrum...........

Most vitamins are kosher if they are of the normal type. Some of the odd ones and such are only hypothetical. Your daily vitamin requirement vitamins are what you should be after. Most of those can be found in one good multi vitamin. Tons of brands to choose from. I prefer the ones Wallgreens has, just because they are cheaper than most and come in larger bottles.

centrum :thumbsup

I can break down your mind problem for you D....stop watching so much asian porn

no, not centrum. that pill is soo jam-packed with vitamins and minerals it's like swallowing a pebble. the body is unable to digest all of it by the time it passes. get powdered pills or chewables or eat health bars.
also, dont take too many minerals. they can build up and cause kidney stones!

i personaly love b-group!
b6 puts me in a better mood. when i am angry or upset i pop one.
b1 helps relax me right before bedtime :)
(of course this is like 500-2k percent of the rda)

another thing. vitamins are not regulated. so lead and other bad things might end up in them. one never knows. therefore, i don't repeat brands back to back.

just like fish. don't eat the same fish every week.

I take Berroca - I dont know if they have it in the States?

Its in a drink form as well - and that helps you absorb all the stuff it is packed with.

I only take Ferrous Sulfate and Ascorbic Acid.

:Oh crap

i take a multi not sure if it helps...makes my pee smell...


Mr. Romance

The trick is that you need to take them 3 times a day. One in the morning, noon and at night. People think if they pop 1 multi-vitamin in the morning that they are set for the day. They have pissed it all out by lunchtime.

Yes I take Juice Plus. They are a bit expensive but will give you all your recommended fruits and veggies. They def will help you out :)

Thanks you After Shock Media. Do you notice a difference in yourself?

I knew I shouldn't have hit up the Naughty America peeps for a pass to thier new asain site.

Asain girls have small hands so they make my cock look bigger. Trust me I need all the help I can get. lol

I take a multi. If I stop I noticed a major difference in overall health. Skin, sleepyness etc.

What's an example of a powedered pill?

what does (of course this is like 500-2k percent of the rda) mean Fuzzylogic?

gotcha! Good to know :)

Do you take them Dave? How do you stay so buff? Don't say from all the fucking you do! LOL

100% of the recommend daily allowence (RDA) is what the govrn't thinks is the amount of a vitamin or mineral that u should take. look at the lable on any food product in your house.

with b-vitamins i dont take 100% of the RDA. I take 500-2000%.

Yes though I also prolly have a way different diet and such than you.

I take the following.
3 chewable fruit flavored multi-vitamins, 1 in morning, 2 at night.
1 15mg zinc tablet.
1 cranberry juice extract pill (UTI issues).
2 500mg vitamin C chewables (helps with my iron absorbtion)
1 folic acid (again iron related issues)
1 350mg iron sulfate tablet. (not recomended for anyone unless told to by a doctor. Iron poisoning is possible for most, and specially children. Many people do need some iron and are partially iron deficient, check your multi or try a very small dosage - 10mg or so)

Fiance takes:
Multi
Q-10
Fish oil
and a few others I can not recall off top of my head. My doctor reccomender her a list of vitamins to take instead of giving her a script for an anti-depresant. He said most people with mild depression respond better to this vitamin cocktail than anti depressants and without the side effects. Worked for her.

Roids man.... plenty of roids :winkwink:

I always make sure to eat lots of protien and drink protien shakes and eat lots of food and workout 4-5 times a week. I have been lifting for about 6 years now. It took a while to gain mass. I weighed about 175 in 2000.... i'm 205-210 now ... my optimal weight is around 185. thanks for the compliment. If you really want to get big, ya gotta eat, eat and eat some more.

Try Centrum. It's a multi-vitamin supplement. :thumbsup

Good question. I think that I eat well. I don't take any vitamins. When I was a kid my parents gave me vitamin pills (Flinstones) and cod liver oil tablets. Is any of it necessary?

Ultra Mega Men GNC....IS THE WAY TO GO

I just take some cheap walgreens ones, probably doesn't do anything, but it's only like $10 for 365 of them, so why not?

i have done promotion for bronson vitamins dot com for several years and have taken their supplements..i stick with the mens' multi formula with some vitamin e and a dash of amino acids..do i notice a difference with them as compared to without..yes i have a lil more pep in my step and generally feel good and do notice with long term use stoping is like with anything..feels like the body crashes

take roids they work better

proper diet , vit c and iron works well... and of course alot of juice/fruits

hah :pimp

vitamins and minerals regulate the functioning of almost every system and organ in your body. getting the RDA of vitamins and minerals day in and day out is actually quite difficult unless your meals are well planned to do so. there are no super foods with everything you need. most foods (any vegetable for example) might have a lot of 1-2 of a particular vitamin and no significant amount of any other.

A multi vitamin is a good, healthy thing to take everyday or even twice a day. there is not a huge difference between vitamins... i would just buy a Centrum multi vitamin or some well known brand. if you are exercising a lot, then you need to take a look at your diet and any additional requirements you might have, particularly with minerals like calcium for example.

everyday... i go to the gym and lift and do cardio now. getting back into my old routine.. here is what i take daily

multi vitamin
flax seed oil
calcium
vitamin c
iron
b complex
anti oxidents
glucosomine
amino's
glutamine
protein of course
oh... and roids

I think they do something good. At least even if this would be only a believe and it works - good.
Too many vitamins is bad.

I chew on Flintstones :)

Eat more veggies and fruit and change your diet..pills aren't going to solve it

Vitamins in liquid form is the best

I chew 2 Flintstone's multi-vitamins (almost) every day.

I havn't taken vitamins for half a year, but i eat lots of fruits. Still i thinki have to buy some.

I'm not for taking vitamins, but if you do, try Centrum Silver if you're a healthy male. Same stuff, less iron. You don't need extra iron unless you like crapping tar. (Sorry for the visual)

:2 cents:

You pretty much need vitamans with the way society'd diet is set up now a days.

I take:

centrum
fish extract (omega 3 complex)
something for joints
hodia, green tea
chromium

Yes, I agree. Multi-vitamins help but I don't really recommend them.

He is right, more veggies and fruits. Vitamins will help in addition.
C
B12
B6
Asodophilus
Calcium

VIAGRA :) lol
Herbs lol

is this guy for real yo

ferrosulfate for me...

It's good to eat each product separetely in an hour ...
I use Vitrum as my multivitamine resource ...

Flintstone vitamins are the shit! I loved those things!

Your body rejects excess vitamin and nutrient intake that it is unable to utilize and/or absorb and store - water soluable vitamins are usually excreted in your urine.

Supplements can be helpful, especially if your diet and/or lifestyle dictate that.

It also takes your body between 7-5 days and then CONSISTENT intake to get used to breaking down and absorbing pills.

And wait for the fluroescent yellow piss 3-4 hours later !

;-)

Not really, but I do eat a lot of fruit

Wow I want to thanks everyone who posted. Alot of information to use and absorb.

Thanks so much.

There is no simple answers it seems. hrmmmm
