No doubt milk has all the necessary nutrients. However, judging personally from my training frequency and intensity, I don't find it to be suffient. How much milk can one drink at one go without having to visit the toilet? And what about those who are lactose intolerant? I personally am drinking Nestle Omega Nesvita milk as it a fortified formula compared to fresh milk like HL. I use to take Anlene, but realised Nesvita is a bit better due to the its Omega 3 and 6 content. A bit pricier though but sometimes it does reward you with free Nestle products like Milo, etc...
As for multi-vitamins, I am taking Blackmores now. I used to take Double X from Nutrilite, Amway and it's a very good product. I highly recommend it. I stop because it is very difficult to get as it's a direct selling/MLM company. That's why I went back to the trustworthy Blackmore brand. It may not be as strong at Double X, but it works for me. I also has been taking their Glucosamine as I don't fancy the offering from Kordel as it comes in gelatin capsule. I try to avoid that.
Omega 3 capsules, try to go for flax seed source. Earth's sea is heavily polluted now so fish source can contain mercury, harmful for the body. There are a few formulas that contain Omega 6 and 9 together, so it's good to have those. I personally find GNC's formula to work for me. Not too pricey as well.
Don't forget to add in protein especially for post training as your body needs the amino acid to repair itself for your next session. Milk is good but as stated earlier, too little. And how can you store milk in your vehicle for such a long time when you are out. Sure turn stale. So, protein powder works here. For those who seen me drinking a milky substance sometimes at Bukit Aman carpark, that's it. As for the pink fluid, it's call Endurox. More towards glycogen replnishment, just a bit of protein. So depending your needs, take your pick.
For 10K runs, I take nuun hydration tablet. It is almost zero calories and carbohyrate free. So I just replenish my electroytes level.
Hope this helps.
woah very informative phoenix! thanks very much! yes im taking Endurox as well, it works for me plus right now its cheap RM 122 flat i used to buy it at RM 189 and RM 151, just bought another 2 tubs yesterday since it was a good deal , I was looking around for multivites in GNC not bad based on their recommendation

as i am a vegetarian, i do make sure i have the right & sufficient amount of supplements. Multi-Vit is a must for me. Calcium + Magnesium and D. Vit C. Plant based glucosamine for me. Iron supplements. Chlorophyll + Ribose to cleanse my system and provide energy.
NUUN to replenish salt and electrolytes after workout.
Endurox for recovery.
Started on 2XU compression for muscle recovery during sleep and training.
Ccube vegetarian?? how'd you get your daily protein needs? certainly you cant rely most of the times on multivites only rite? carbs i know that you can get it from rice, and potato's yes they are complex carbs but still carbs, and may i know where do u get the NUUN tablets?
