Which one would u use and why? took opti men until orange triad came out because i liked the idea of immune system support joint and digestive aids along with the multi. is there really any difference. only reason i'm asking is cause there's a sale on optimen for $15

There is.

A) Quality of vitamins / minerals
B) Extra stuff: such as Orange TRIad: joint support, immune function and digestion aid.

You get alot out of TRIad, it makes my supplementation easier. Before, I was buying different products for all of those: now I just take the TRIad.

Good luck with your decision! :hammer:

i really do appreciate ur coments but.... u have a very extreme bias towards controlled labs products.
 
I made a thread not too long ago about multivitamins and got a few different recommendations. I am going to give Orange TRIad a try because I like the sound of all the properties it has. I also got ADAM from NOW as several people commented on how it's designed more toward athletes and weight lifters.

i've heard a few people suggest the adam multi. but getting opti-men for $14.50 seems like a good time to stock up.

i know how u could help. send me a container of golden finish and i'll see if i like it better than my waxy maize. haha just kidding. i'm not tryin to sound like an @ss but of course ur gonna say orange triad is better and i'm sure you're probably obligated to. hell right now i have orange triad purple wraath white flood and green mag. can't beat the amount of servings u get for the price. not to mention nobody buys it at vitamin world so its half off.... :dance: and nobody else buys it but me

Sounds like you make good decisions on supplements already bro :)
The products speak for themselves IMHO.
 
I've gone through 2 bottles of Orange Triad and am currently knee deep in my 3rd bottle(s) of MVP/ZMK. I like the plethora of support supps in MVP:
Citrus Bioflavinoids
Rutin
Quercetin
Spirulina
Chlorella
Ashwaganda
Astragalus
Pomegranite PE
Tumeric PE
Matcha Tee (90% Polyphenols)
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Blueberry PE(25% Anthocyanins)
Grapeseed PE
Bilberry PE (25% anthocyanins)
Lutein
Zeaxanthin
Lycopene
Coq10

And yes, many of them are also in OT but they're in a proprietary blend. I like knowing how much of what I'm getting in a product.

The only thing I didn't like about OT was that the tablets are so large that they sometimes are difficult to swallow.

As for optimen, seems solid as well. You don't get the joint support benefits present in OT but you do get a lot of beneficial herbs, albeit in small amounts.

Just my 2 cents.
 
The OT tabs are good sized, I usually spread it out 2 in the morning, 2 with lunch 2 with dinner. Makes it easier swallowing em

That's what I did as well. No point in taking too many of them at once.
 
animal pack=pack of poo pellets

I've had several multis better. AND downing 10 pills every morning gets old...FAST.

OT is the only product you'll find with all of that !!!
Making our pill-popping a little less hectic, ahaha.
 
I prefer Whole Food Multi. Easier on the stomach and Alive Multi has a greens complex, Omega Complex, Digestive Enzymes, and Amino Complex.

Great Multi.

how do u know what the difference in quality is?

I know how to read the label of a multivitamin. Lets say optimen and adam all had the exact same dosage of every vitamin. That's not what really matters. What matters is WHERE the vitamin is coming from (what its extracted from). Adam is the best quality multivitamin. All the other brands are usually synthetic.

How about MVP? I think MVP is the best multivitamin with the best ingredients. I take 2 MVP in the morning and 3 OT throughout the day, it helps hedge the high cost of MVP.
