Multivitamin-What do you use?

[GreenMachineX]

Right now I’m using Seeking Health Optimal Multivitamin Plus which seems to be working somewhat well. I’m super sensitive to all the vitamin B’s, and when Methyl-B12 is too high, I get flushed and histamine goes way up. When b6 is too high, it feels like a stimulant. So, just wondering what you use so I can compare and contrast and hopefully find one that really works well for me. I’ve tested negative for the two most common mthfr mutations, but I still feel better using the methyl- forms or activated forms of each vitamin.

Have you considered doing more of an a la carte thing and avoiding a multi? It's more of a hassle, but easier to customize to what your actual needs are.

 

[BlockBuilder]

My organics Men’s Multi from Garden of Life is what I use

 

[vic21234]

I use Beverly Super Pak. The B vitamins in it are rather high though.

 

[Aleksandar37]

There are custom multivitamins out there as well where you can choose what they do and don't include. Probably not cheap, but they're an option as well.

 

[Jiigzz]

I'm with Aleksandar on this. A la carte or custom, especially due to the issues you have and how likely it is that a multi has high dosed b vitamins

 

[booneman77]

Im an Orange Triad guy, but as mentioned above, due to your requirements it may be far more necessary to go with a custom blend vs a mass porduced version.

It is difficult to buy a good multivitamin in my country. Best multivitamin I can reach is animal pak which is imported without full ingredients.

Are you deficient in any specific vitamin? I think that multi's are wise if you have deficiencies, but if you eat a balanced diet and you're healthy I don't see a high priority need to take a multivitamin. I personally don't take one.

I would check with your doc and see if there are any specific vitamins you are in need of, and either adjust your diet or supplement specifically for your needs.

[danielmoo]

Personally, I use Gaspari Anavite. Specifically the powdered version as of late.

 

[f4iguy]

Now ADAM only 1 pill though

 

[cubsfan815]

I have stuck to orange triad personally.

 

[Swolebooty]

I use Magnum “Prime” packs. All of the capsules can be opened up to throw in a shake, if you don’t want to swallow anymore pills. The omegas are the only ones you can’t...obviously. And no “repeating “ like some vitamins do.

 

[irishiron300]

I flipped between OT and Animal Paks for years.

 

[solidsnake]

I’d love to try orange triad but can’t find it in eu and there so damn heavy the shipping costs from us aren’t worth it. I’ve been using myprotein Alpha men for years, I find animal paks ridiculously expensive so I ain’t going there....

 

[jtmass]

Anavite

 

[ironkill]

Ive moved away from multis and now use greens products instead. Only vitamins I use are Vit D, zinc, and biotin (hair loss)

 

[cheftepesh1]

If you have issues, I would get a basic multi and then piece meal the rest. I add plenty of nutrients to my daily intake that aid in different areas.

 

[GreenMachineX]

Not using anything resulted in horrible histamine intolerance symptoms. Half dosing Seeking Health Optimal Multivitamin (not the Plus version) seems to be doing me well now.

Bringing this back up:
Do y’all break up your multivitamin dose over the course of the day (for example, NOW’s Adam is 3 caps, 1 with each meal) or take it all at breakfast or however?

I do not spread vitamins out over time. I have been running Juggernaut Labz multi.

I dose half with breakfast and half with dinner

 

[The Solution]

This
3 caps Orange Triad meal 1 and 3 caps last meal

I don’t. When I did, I used life force. But I’ve tried, Adam, animal pack and orange triad. Never felt like a multi made any difference. And they’ve been studied... most miss on the label claims, and they typically absorb so poorly they’re not even worth the time.
