I plan to buy multivitamins pills to eat as my daily supplements.

The most famous in phamacy i think should be Centrum...from A-Z. May I know who eat before?

But coincidentally, in Mydeal, there is an offer on Multivitamin also, but the brand is Natural Farm. Is that brand good?

The website is here: Mydeal

But with that price, I personally think it's worth to buy and have a try lar...Just that I don't know is the Multivitamins really works or not.

They claim that:
-Provides a complete range of vitamins and minerals
-Gives full head-to-toe protection from within

Benefits:
Prevents both vitamins and minerals deficiencies
Boosts immune system
Reduces fatigue symptoms
Improves bones and joints
Improves overall cardiovascular health
Improves vision and skin condition

if you are prone to pimples, avoid multi vitamin pills that contain iodine. iodine causes pimple breakouts.

Hi There,

The main concern is pills are difficult to digest and we are unable to absorb 100% & this will lead to a burden if our digestion system not so well now.

Why you think you would like to have multivitamins in the first place?
For your general health? It is good to maintain your health with current polluted environment.

You may PM me for further information yay...

Thanks

If you are having a balance and sufficient diet, I don't see why you need a supplement.

It is important when you are having insufficiency in certain substance, or, increase in metabolic demand.

Lots of peoples having multivitamin. Everyday per pill wont harm your liver. It's just a supplement for those who don't had enough time to having their healthy breakfast. No choice we have to rely on multivitamin. Unless you keep pop these pill 3 times per day. I always have my protein blend ,soya, bread and multi vitamin for my breakfast. And have a 30min work out after work. Seriously do you get enough vitamin for just eating normal foods? i doubt that. But different peoples different body and health. You cant compare . Right?

Yes we do get enough vitamins by eating normal food.
The only problem is your food selection and the amount which you consume.

Modern agricultural methods mean that today's soils are overworked and much lower in minerals and nutrients. Eating a "balanced" diet is not enough.

go organic or go local.

I remember reading somewhere about higher cancer risk for people who rely on vitamins to supplement their food intake. Go search for it yourself.

Organically-grown foods are no more nutritious than conventionally produced. Local, possibly.

There is no evidence of increased cancer risk for people who take supplementary minerals.

Google, I am too old for this. Layman it...there are studies ( read in an obscure report the type thats printed on paper in some place ) .. I believe the study was funded by a gov of an aryan nation ( swede or otherwise)

not the nutritional value but on how clean it is. As in free of cell altering chemicals.

Multi-vitamins pill....
Is that a must for your body need ??? Think before you plan to buy....

What is the purpose of taking vitamins? Is it your body really need the nourishment of vitamins????

Get some reading about vitamins, do not get fool by the advertisement....
This is related to your own health....
It is good that you are concern about your own health, but vitamins is not the best choice...

This is one of the "hottest" formulas with the life extensionists
in the Immortality Institute's forum.

http://www.longecity.org/forum/

http://supplements.relentlessimprovement.c...-core-p100.aspx



Another highly rated one with the members of the above forum
is Now's Adam, very cost-effective.


http://www.nowfoods.com/Supplements/Produc...ins/M013564.htm

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/adam.html

http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Adam-Superi...-Vcaps/387?at=0


Otherwise, Life Enhancement's BioEnhance is also another
state-of-the-art formula :

http://www.life-enhancement.com/product.asp?ID=7

http://www.iherb.com/Life-Enhancement-BioE...sules/2719?at=0


Another cutting-edge one is VRP's Optimum Silver :

http://www.vrp.com/multinutrients/optimum-silver


A "poor life extensionist" like me is currently taking this local product,
which I consider the best you can find here :

Livewell's Dailysential 45+

Since the above has no calcium and magnesium, combine
it with Livewell's OsteCal Plus.


Added on March 13, 2012, 3:06 am

In addition to the above, my current daily regimen includes
(several are on alternate days, to save costs) :

Natrol's alpha lipoic acid, 100 mg
Solaray's monolaurin, 500 mg
Country Life's resveratrol, 100 mg
Livolin (phospholipids), 300 mg
Healthpan's artichoke extract 300 mg (just finished, replaced by
Livewell's Livasential)
Upha's Natberry Plus (Billberry 100 mg + Wolfberry 25 mg)
Naturalle's (Upha) Garlic Perles, three to four perles
Rainforest's virgin coconut oil, one to two tablespoonfuls
YSP's Biotase, digestive enzymes, two each meal
Blueberry jam - Steffi's Delight or St Dalfour (both sugar free), or
Steffi's Choice. Other times, blackcurrant or blackberry jam.
One of these days, must buy some expensive blueberries.

Nice catch.

But just take an extra precaution for Vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamins B and C can be excreted via urine if you consume over your metabolic requirement but 4 vitamins that I mentioned earlier will be stored in your fat and potentially becoming a toxic if overdose.

I was looking at Centrum and Blackmores, probably two of the most known brands...

A box of Centrum had 100 1-per-day pills, while the Blackmores bottle cost nearly 1.5x the Centrum one but only had 75 1-per-day pills. Then I looked at the amounts of each chemical per tablet and the Blackmores had more of most every substance - of course it had a few with less. So I went with Blackmores... suppose there is a reason for the difference in price.

Well I compared the most obviously closest ones, which were Centrum daily multivitamins vs Blackmores daily multivitamins + antioxidants. Not sure what Centrum Silver was.

Do some research before buying any multivitamin. Even the famous 1 like centrum do not considered as a very good vitamin.

Here is some guide

could be placebo effect.

anyway, improvement of multivits on human health is really debatable. There are so many studies showing different results about multivites.

Amway vitamin sucks. They don't even have a multivitamin pill. You need to buy all the vitamin they have and then blend together. Imagine the costs. Goshh... The only things I would buy from Amway is their protein. Very fine compare with others.

Try Nutrilite Double X, best Multi-Vitamin & minerals, and 17 type of phytonutrients where most other brands do not have. Nutrilite is now the oldest and biggest natural supplement manufacturer in the world with its own certified organic farm. smile.gif

Owning its own certified organic farm does not in itself equate to having organic multivitamin products that are entirely made up of whole-foods instead of synthetic/chemical derivatives. Do not fall for marketing terminologies.

Probably should try something like Elken's Fitorac (or something similar that is cheaper). Would certainly like to know if it's better than the pills.

Some of its ingredients are derived from real plants, e.g. acelora extract, instead of ascorbic acid only. That is already a plus point.

Nutrilite is the only food supplement manufacturer that has certified organic farms, it is also the largest and oldest natural food supplement brand in the world, try to search on the internet and study more yourself instead of just reading my comments here, then make your own judgement. The entire China Olympic Team is consuming Nutrilite products, they would not want to jeopardize their entire Olympic Team without prior detailed study of Nutrilite supplements. smile.gif

Just saying you should try whole-foods supplementation (e.g. Fitorac) as well. Might feel even better, who knows.

Anyway, Nutrilite is still the world's largest and oldest natural food supplement manufacturer in the world which cultivates plants on its certified organic farms. These are undeniable facts, consumers can still make their own choice, study and analysis before buying any brand. smile.gif

Your "study and analysis" is flawed. What's more important over anything else is learning about what's good for your body and identify the products and source ingredients needed. Subsequent to that would be analysing which company (brand) is most reliable in the production of such.

You're being sold solely by marketing material, without conducting your own research, just like the average consumer. And now you're trying to protect your beliefs in order to validate the hard-earned money that you have spent.

Well entryman, I respect you that you can have your own believe here, and so do I.

How could you judge my study and analysis based on just a few comments here? My entire family has really been benefited from Nutrilite and so do my many customers around. This is my own experience and there are millions of people who have already been benefited from Nutrilite over 75 years. Again, this is undeniable.

You can support other brands but you have no facts at all to oppose Nutrilite as one of the best source of food supplement.

You could be a normal consumer, or even distributor of other brand, that is okay as every brand has its own advantage and market share. I will never promoting Nutrilite by attacking other people's opinions or brands.

No matter how you commented, Nutrilite is still standing strong as the leading brand of food supplements. Cheers! smile.gif

Amway vitamin sucks. They don't even have a multivitamin pill. You need to buy all the vitamin they have and then blend together. Imagine the costs. Goshh... The only things I would buy from Amway is their protein. Very fine compare with others.

Haven't you heard Double X? Contains 13 types of vitamins, 9 types of minerals, and 17 types of phytonutrients. Perhaps you upline distributor did not inform you about this multivitamin. smile.gif

No doubt it has helped, and it is a reliable brand. I'm not attacking the brand either.

What if there was a product of much higher efficacy, and at the same price? (analysis done based on source and type of ingredients).

You can either disbelieve it, or try it. It's the consumer decision making and behavioural program at play here.

And as I mentioned earlier, having organic farms does not equate to having organic products, I wonder if you get the meaning of this statement.

I agree with what he says. As much as I would like to have the best multivits in the market, I can't afford so I take generic brands.

However, I do rotate my multivits every 3 months so that my body doesn't build up an "immunity" towards it. Currently, I'm taking "Live-Well" brand. Next will be either Biolife, Kordel or VitaHealth.

I like the contents in GNC Mega MenĀ® Timed-Release. For the contents, the pill must be pretty large, though. Applies the same for women. I like the fact that the pill has Astaxanthin though the amount is quite small.

I plan to buy multivitamins pills to eat as my daily supplements.

The most famous in phamacy i think should be Centrum...from A-Z. May I know who eat before?

But coincidentally, in Mydeal, there is an offer on Multivitamin also, but the brand is Natural Farm. Is that brand good?

The website is here: Mydeal

But with that price, I personally think it's worth to buy and have a try lar...Just that I don't know is the Multivitamins really works or not.

They claim that:
-Provides a complete range of vitamins and minerals
-Gives full head-to-toe protection from within

Benefits:
Prevents both vitamins and minerals deficiencies
Boosts immune system
Reduces fatigue symptoms
Improves bones and joints
Improves overall cardiovascular health
Improves vision and skin condition

Hi ChipZ,

I've tried on USANA Proflavanol C100, it does help on acne.

Do you mind pm your email address to me? I could flip you through some information.

There may be individual side effects from each vitamins, but as long as you take them in moderation, it will be alright and tolerable.
Any dosage above recommended may induce hypervitaminiosis or vitamin toxicity. Do not attempt to megadosage without prior research, or you may face overdosage.
What vitamin are you taking specifically?
