I'm also thinking of purchasing some multi-vitamins, I'm also not looking to spend too much. How do you guys think about this? It's about $20AU and contains 60 tablets.

Hey Fresh21;

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Animal PaK but, some don’t like swallowing so many pills.

You may want to check out MHP-Activite Multi's. I've been taking them for a year or so. They are geared for the sports minded individual. They have a great vitamin profile along with Anabolase, which optimizes the function of food for max performance and has a high ORAC for muscle recovery and antioxidant support.

I paid 20 bucks for 120 tabs. I take 4 tabs per day, 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner. Good stuff.

Saw Palmetto is good to use with a Test Booster. Optimen looks good though.

Vitamins like Centrum and store brands aren't formulated for weight lifters, they're made for your parents. You need more than the RDA b/c it's based off what a sedentary person needs.

If you have the money, definetely get Animal Pak. Some of the GNC Vitapaks are pretty good, as well.

You have to have over 10,000IU of Vitamin A and 1-1,1200 IU of D. Natural vitamins (D-Alpha) come from soil, soy..ect. Synthetic Vitamins (DL-Alpha) come from coal, oil..ect. That 100% of RDA is obsolete, which is what Centrum uses.

You'd have to take ATLEAST two a day. And like I stated above, they use synthetic vitamins. Not to mention all the other things Animal Pak adds in.

Probably wouldn't be a good idea to take two a day, some of the vitamins you may overdose on, and some may cause serious side effects if do.

BTW, what do you mean by synthetic vitamins?
