 Posted: 11/07/02 - 11:08 Post subject: Vitamins, should I?, what kind?, do you?
Ok, I've recently started taking a few vitamins. Are they necessary? If so, what do you recommend?
I'm doing a Ultra Mega Gold Multi from GNC, 1500 mg of Glucosamine and 1500 mg of MSM. Also throw in a little extra Zinc and Calcium.
Am I overdoing it?

I just go for a regular multi in case I am missing some of the trace minerals etc. After that it just seems like expensive pee

I'm with Bob on this. I too, do a multi-vitamin. Most nutritionists say that if we eat a well-balanced diet we should be getting all the vitamins we need from our food. Since I don't, I do the multi.

I do a multi-vitamin/mineral for the stuff that diet may have missed + extra Vit E and C for air in recovery.

I take Twinlab's Super Twin Multi, and a 1000 mg of calcium.
Not a real milk drinker so I take the high test calcium to get my daily fill.
ST vitamins are prolly overkill, but my Nutritionist said it was okay.

I try to remember to take a multi-vitamin.
That's not going that well.
I do usually remember to take a calcium supplement that I really don't need. But I'm still at an age where I can maintain what I've got before I start to lose it, so I'm trying to do just that.
