so what brand do you use?The American Medical Association now recommends the use of a daily multivitamin. I would be careful as to which company's multi I take, since almost all are not certified organic and may contain concentrated levels of contamenants.
This is true. I think it's based on an average, and I'm pretty sure that average is a 152lbs male.Unless your diet is perfect you absolutely need a multivitamin + multimineral. Especially when you exercise. Also keep in mind the RDA for most vitamins is for couch potatoes.
Average in America is 190lbs male, unless you are talking LBMThis is true. I think it's based on an average, and I'm pretty sure that average is a 152lbs male.
Damn, America's fat.Average in America is 190lbs male, unless you are talking LBM
Yep I get called skinny all the time and I'm 5'7" 170... well above the "correct" weight for my height.Damn, America's fat.
Organic is good or even better Kosher. Both are good good options.The American Medical Association now recommends the use of a daily multivitamin. I would be careful as to which company's multi I take, since almost all are not certified organic and may contain concentrated levels of contamenants.
Me too! The overlap is essential if I am tight on cash and cannot order on time each month, I still get my vitamins and joint support...i like how OT lasts 45 days and not the normal 30
Man, I still can't wait to buy OT...Also, I told my Da' about it, so hopefully he'll grab some for himself. He's kind of cheap when it comes to health supps though; he doesn't understand that there is a difference in quality from one company to another. He usually goes with Wal-mart brand multi-vits.I wouldn't have a multi vitamin as my avatar if I didn't advocate it's use 110%. ONe of the most important things IMO
Little tip: Hold out a bit longer and we should be shipping out the updated formula I'll let you guys know when the new OT is shipping, still going through old stock I believe.Man, I still can't wait to buy OT...Also, I told my Da' about it, so hopefully he'll grab some for himself.

x2 ... keep us updated!Little tip: Hold out a bit longer and we should be shipping out the updated formula I'll let you guys know when the new OT is shipping, still going through old stock I believe.
Well you have to remember that the RDAs on the back of nutrition labels were created quite a while back. Also, most people on these forums are in a certain bodybuilding mindset. The people who designed the RDAs weren't thinking about bodybuilding. Who knows what research they were going off of. At some point some guy was like, yeah, this looks good, do it. And that's how we got the RDA.. lolAverage in America is 190lbs male, unless you are talking LBM
I'd love to discuss.In as simple terms as I can put it, bodybuilders have more going on at a physiological basis than the regular dude does. Vitamins and minerals act as catalysts for reactions that take place inside the body. Bodybuilders have more going on, therefore, we need more vitamins and minerals. I'm not saying we need a lot more. Just guessing, I'd say around 150% of the RDA for most things would be a better bet than just going by what the RDA is. Anyone want to discuss?

Did any one read my post about OT. Your saying some are cheep and some are quality look at my post than get back to me.
are you saying controlled labs OT was a cheap product?
Yes it would be one of the cheeper products on the market if you read my post in the link i sent you, you would understand why once you look at there raw materials.and this is why: ODIs > RDAs

If there vitamin D was D2 and D2 has been proven to not work what other ingredients did they put in there that does not work? It makes me wonder.So I read your post DJ and don't see how pointing out that the old formula had an inferior form of Vit D makes the entire product a "cheap product"...unless by "cheap" you mean price and not quality...
you're another confusing poster..you never sent this link to me directly. you simply posted it. anyway..
this dj fella is very vague it seems...likes to beat around the bush a lot.So I read your post DJ and don't see how pointing out that the old formula had an inferior form of Vit D makes the entire product a "cheap product"...unless by "cheap" you mean price and not quality...
The problem with a lot of multivitamins is twofold (from what I have heard): 1) they are ultracompacted and thus never fully are digested and 2) they have fillers such as Ca that lead to poor absorption.Are Centrum Multi-Vitamins any good?
I havn't researched the second part of your post, as for the first, I was told this by a wannabe new age health guru...I went home put 3 different multis in 3 different glasses of water (Mine and my two roomates at the time lol).I went out for dinner and came back roughly 2-2.5 hours later. They were piles of mush in a glass. He said actually, that they NEVER dissolved in our stomachs. I showed him the glasses and asked if he knew how strong the acid in our stomachs is? He never mentioned it again.:burnout:The problem with a lot of multivitamins is twofold (from what I have heard): 1) they are ultracompacted and thus never fully are digested and 2) they have fillers such as Ca that lead to poor absorption.
This could have been the issue with the above study btw...
