I use mega men vites and well.. its a vitamin... I have felt better after prolonged use of them and when I drink too much but remember to pop one before bed it saves me from the worst parts of a hangover MOST of the time.

Usana is supposed to be very good, but expensive and pharmaceutical grade.

(PS. - I always thought the caps are better than the tabs since there were some posts in the bodybuilding.com forums about tabs not getting absorbed properly!... Information changes!... Once again thanks for your advice!... I'll continue searching and report back with results!)

Caps may be better in some instances but apparently not in the MV/M world.

I am just about done my first can of animal pak (44 servings) and I am have been happy with it. The fact that 5 of the 11 pills per pak are horse pills kinda sucks but I got over it quick. I find the ginseng (about 750 mgs I think) keeps me on my toes well after my workout. Anyone tried Mega Man and Animal Pak (not together) and have a preference??

are multivitamin tablets really worth getting? never thaught about it till now whats the benifits to having them and would it b better to get all the vitamins etc frm fruits?

I have many friends who do not take vitamins but, do eat just about everything and anything when it comes to any kind of veggies, fruits, etc., and are a picture of health.

Although I do enjoy eating various fruits (mangos, bananas, apples, etc.) There are very little vegetables that I enjoy eating and sometimes I don’t enjoy eating those same vegetables but, at times I do force myself. That is why a Multi-Vitamin/Mineral supplement is very important to me and I do take them every single day in order for me to have that necessary matrix of vitamins/minerals that I would never obtain eating vegetables the way I do.

um I taken megaman from gnc
in fact its here in my backpack at work
**pulls it out*
"Mega Man Sport" price was like 20- 30 but its last me like 3 or 4 months so far
I only take it after i eat breakfast.
Only difference between this and the bronze bottle i noticed when purchasing it was some of the vitamins in it.
To be honest I can't tell a damn difference with these pills, probably wont nitce since its vitamins but im sure its doing something.
Might start taking it like 2 times daily like smoeone said here after dinner.
O these pills are not capsules. Timed release caplets.

Compare the 2 contents
MEGAMAN

SOLOTRON

Im thinking about the animal pak any ideas on that guys?

OK back to the original question- how much better is Mega Men than Solotron? Mega Men is pricey and I'd rather get Solotron, but if Mega Men is really worth it I'd get it. Anyone have thoughts on these two multi's?

When one swallows a capsule it is dissolved in the stomach and the contents are released. The contents then travel to the small intestine and are absorbed. This is usually not a problem. A multi-vitamin however, contains many delicate compounds that can be easily destroyed by the stomach acids. If a multi-vitamin is in a capsule form, many of the nutrients will never make it to the small intestine for absorption and utilization.

Tablets incorporate a hard form (similar to MHP-Activite, et al.) and may also have a specialized coating so that it will pass through the stomach and be released in the small intestine unharmed and be able to formulate a fully functional and fully absorbable multi-vitamin/multi-mineral that supposedly is far superior to capsule formulae.

Hehe!... Damn Hydrochloric Acid!… Now I gotta choke on those huge NOW Adam tablets instead of taking the soft veg-caps... Life goes on!!!

Makes sense!... Thanks for the thorough explanation!
