There are so many different companies selling fish oil and multivitamins. I haven't been using any and know I should be. What do you recommend and why?
Agree 100%. CL has third party testing on their fish oil, and I trust them as a company.Really like Controlled Labs for both
Absolutely! They are very generous as well, and their reps are top notchThanks guys. I went with Controlled Labs for both. I had them in mind from the start, but thought I would get some suggestions from others. I have used some of their other products and was very satisfied. Controlled Labs is a very good and trustworthy company as far as I am concerned
Any reason why you say you should be supplementing with the two?There are so many different companies selling fish oil and multivitamins. I haven't been using any and know I should be. What do you recommend and why?
Are you asking why I am choosing to use fish oil and a multivitamin? I know that I am needing the extra vitamins and my joints are yelling, "fish oil please". Well, based on past experience, fish oil has helped. I'm not sure if I answered your question.Any reason why you say you should be supplementing with the two?
Nough said!Just saw you wanted why.
Orange Triad is more geared to athletes, has everything covered and added bonuses like ALA.
Good bioavailable forms of the vitamins
Orange Oximega is tested.
Huge with fish oil.
No heavy metals, and a solid EPA/DHA content
I use Orange Triad with Greens + GNC 1500 Fish Oil. You can catch 60 pills for $9.99. 960mg of DHA/EPAReally like Controlled Labs for both
I use OT with Greens. I enjoy it, but I can't say I've felt any different with Greens than without. But I believe the absorption is better in a powder.I take multivitamins and fish oil every day. There are many good products out there. Honestly, I'll buy any good purified fish oil with high DHA/EPA content; I can even buy liquid fish oil and eat it with a spoon, no problem. When it comes to multi... I have tried many things, but now I'm using Orange Triad and I'm going to keep buying as long as they are making it. This is one fantastic product. I like what the guys @ Controlled Labs are doing and I'm thinking about trying their Greens and Gold Feast Fruit products. Has anyone had experience with these?
How do you know that you're "needing extra vitamins"?. Are you sick or malnourished?Are you asking why I am choosing to use fish oil and a multivitamin?

You can't just assume that's from a vitamin deficiency. That could be a million different things which I'm doubting a multivitamin will solve. You might want to talk to your doctor and get a CMP. Don't get into the habit of trying to "fix" yourself by taking different supplements. Seriously if you're always lethargic and tired that's a health problem and it can't be solved by supplements.I'm always lethargic and tired. I know I'm not eating the vitamins I need as well.
IMO a multi is something everyone should put alot of research into before considering supplementing with. Telling some not to over think it is silly.Lots of options out there. In my cabinet I have Animal Pak currently along side MT Platinum multi & same goes for fish oil.
I wouldn't over think.
A lot of people tend to recommend orange triad for the joint support but personally I have never tried that product.
Some people like to choose multis w/o iron as well. I'd say find one from a brand you trust/enjoy.
I do agree with this. While it never hurts to get in more vitamins/ minerals, there is a rather large ongoing debate as too how much of the contents of a multivitamin actually make it into circulation. So if you have legitimate lethargy - then you may have other issues going on that are not related to vitamin or mineral deficiency.You can't just assume that's from a vitamin deficiency.
