What Vitamins/Multi-Vitamin do you take in the morning?

[ScottFern]

I eat like sh*t pretty much everyday and I know it. The one thing I try to do to counteract feeling crappy all day is take a multi-vitamin.

Now, I have been taking Centrum Performance for the last 4 months or so. I don't really notice a difference after taking one, and I just wanted to hear some opinions on which vitamin brands really help you guys feel better throughout the day?

Are GNC Vitamins better than say Centrum? Yes, I am attempting to clean up my eating habits as well, but its a slow process. So no "eat better" comments are necessary.

centrum chewables, even though they taste like a$$.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

One-a-day carb smart.

 

[Mucho]

I take every day mainly because I rarely eat vegetables, not sure if it does any good though.

 

[Promethply]

Centrum multis, and a glucosamine sulfate for my joints (me old man).

 

[PawNtheSandman]

Equate (walmart) multi daily.
And I also take whey protein, Glucamine and creatine.

Well looks like I am going to have to decide between GNC MegaMan or going to Vitamin World and asking them. Anyone ever been to Vitamin World or GNC? Are they helpful? Or are they just out to make $$$ off regardless of what you need?

I took a One-A-Day for several years, just the regular formula. I quit taking them for several months and then bought a bottle of Men's Formula--took them for several days and they made me sick. Now I can't take any kind of multi-vitamin without them making me feel naustious (sp?). I think it may be some kind of interaction with the prescription medicine I take. But the regular forumla worked well for me, I could notice I felt better after about a month of taking them. I drink a glass of V8 every day and try to drink more water than sodas, better than nothing.

you realize that eating a multivitamin won't help you one bit if you're regular diet is full of sh!t foods.

Furthermore, the multivitamins you take in pill form usually gets pissed away after taking it. Eating healthy foods will allow you to get your necessary vitamin intakes. And yes, eating X amounts of vitamin thru real foods is better than eating X amounts of same vitamin through a pill, b/c your body absorbs the vitamins from real food easier than pill form.

How do I know all this? I slept at a Holiday Inn last night.
