Anyone take vitamins daily?

Ok I admit, I dont eat as healthy as I should but who does?!
Anyways, I stopped by Target the other day and noticed a whole bunch of Vitamins.
I just need something that will boost my current lifestyle. I need to start working out again and gain a little more weight. I guess I'll start by researching the different Vitamins (A, B, etc ...).

What do you recommend?
 
I do. One of the best values out there. For $10, i pop a pill a day for 6 months. I don't take anything fancy, just Centrum Forte.
 
Like i said, i take Centrum. I wouldn't go cheap on them, because some of them don't digest fully. But i wouldn't pay insane either... i see vitamins for bodybuilders that costs like $20 a month, that's just stupid.

I read somewhere that multivitamins really dont give you the FULL intake of each vitamin.

that is true, some of it isn't absorbed by your body. The thing is it is better to get some of the vitamin than none of it.
 
Yep, I take More Than A Multiple from Vitamin World. A friend recommended it awhile ago, and I've been taking it ever since (off and on). It's not terribly cheap, but it does have pretty much everything you need. Smells like crap so it must be good -- my dog turns her nose up at it! 😀

Anyway, you will in fact pee a lot of it out because of solubility and uptake issues, but you'll get more benefit from taking a multi than taking nothing. I do feel better taking them, though it could be in my head. 😉
 
I use One a Day men's. I took GNC Mega Men for a while, and it made me feel messed up. Too much stuff... Just isn't natural. I've read that those mega doses of vitamins do more harm than good, and can mess up your liver.
 
I take a flax seed oil pill every day and one GNC mega man gold every other day, they recommend 2 every day but the doses are too high. They have 2 versions the time release and the regular. I bought the time release because someone said it was better, but then I read somewhere that the stuff that makes it time release isn't good for you.
