I changed my vitamins - help/ - Thursday, February 22, 2007 3:11 AM
I've been taking Centrum for ever because that's just what my mum had, but I was reading here about the importance of vitamins, so I got "GNC Ultra Mega Gold" or something. these are the stats:
As a dietary supplement, take two caplets daily.

Servings Per Container 45



Amount Per Serving % DV




Vitamin A (50% as beta-Carotene 50% as Acetate) 5000.00 IU 100%

Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) 500.00 mg 833%

Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol) 400.00 IU 100%

Vitamin E (as natural d-alpha Tocopheryl Succinate & dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) 300.00 IU 1000%

Thiamin (as Thiamin Mononitrate) 100.00 mg 6667%

Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) 100.00 mg 5882%

The quantities are much more than centrum from what I can see - are these any good? I know there is probably better but GNc is the only brand in Singapore available for this kind of stuff.

Also, could someone explain why vitamins are so important for my goal (weight gain!)

Many many thanks

yeah the GNC multi will do the job, so glad you got away from centrum! Vitamins are very important because they provide your body with the nutrients it needs for overall health, and what vitamins and minerals your diet might not provide or provide enough of.

Alive whole food multi
