Sohan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Stick to a generic multivitamin that provides 100% of the US RDA for vitamins and minerals. Don't waste your money on expensive brand name vitamins--the raw vitamins used for formulations come from the same sources anyway. Supplement with extra vitamin E, C, and Selenium if you need extra antioxidants, but for the most part you should be fine with a balanced diet that includes plenty of complex carbs, complete proteins, vegetables, and fruit.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Aodhan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 If you eat a well balanced diet, then all multivitamins will do is give you expensive urine, since you will excrete out everything you don't need.It's when your diet is lacking that you need the multivitamins, and pretty much any one of them out there will suit you.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
