    Was looking around for a good Multivitamin and came across: Opti-Men, Orange Triad, Animal Pak, Anavite, and Armour V. Couldn't really choose a CLEAR-cut winner.

    Read that Opti-men uses Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) as opposed to Vitamin B12 (As Methylcobalamin) which is apparently a no-no.

    Was hoping for your thoughts.

    Why is it that multivitamins always make me nauseous? It is especially bad on an empty stomach.

    that's what I usually use, but you know what they say; unless you're taking those multi-vita packs you're really just paying for expensive urine.

    to the OP if you want a good pre workout supplement take some NoXplode before and Syntha-6 after.

    You should never take a vitamin on an empty stomach. Always take them after meals with LOTS of water. I do that and have never felt nauseous afterward.

    like mentioned above...because you're not suppose to take them on an empty stomach but rather, take them after a large meal.


    I'm thinking about switching my multivitamin (currently GNC sport). I used to take Centrum (i would only take half of one a day). In reality there probably isn't much difference and most of it goes to waste. Plus, i've heard some doctors say that taking them too much can be a negative to the body because it is an overload.

    If you eat relatively healthy you get all the nutrients you need. Since i'm in that category, I usually take them every other day or half of one a day.

    Gnc is overpriced and the generic brand. Animal pak has 8 pills you have to swallow, some horse pills. I felt good but the pissing neon yellow was a no no.
    Just take centrum. Lol. Don't take anything on an empty stomach, protein only exception.

    Not true at all. taking too many vitamins will not have a negative impact on you. If anything, it is better for you.

    yea i'm pretty sure your body will just absorb as much as it needs and you'll pee out the rest (bright yellow urine)

    nothing to be worried about though

    Scientists don't yet know if routinely getting a little bit too much of a vitamin or mineral (as opposed to a megadose) is a problem, Katz says.

    "There might be hints of concern, but they would be very subtle signs," he says.

    These fairly mild symptoms may include difficulty sleeping or concentrating, nerve problems such as numbness or tingling, or feeling more irritable -- depending on the nutrient that's going overboard.

    if you experience any of these problems, just find a multivitamin with lower doses
