My opinion? They are worthless. Dosage is too low to do good. For multivitamin, I recommend taking spirulina + chlorella. Why? Both of them are highly dense nutritious food. More nutrient dense than anything. An entire community in Africa at Lake Chad survive on dried spirulina cakes and they are not undernourish like the rest of the Africans.
For CoQ10, one should buy ubiquinone produce by Kaneka 

For me and my family,
Multivitamin : Nutrex Hawaian Spirulina + Yaeyama chlorella powder 1tsp each (much more cost economical than tablets)
Fish Oil : Nordic/Carlson
Antioxidant : Healthy Origins Astaxanthin
Parents : Healthy Origins CoQ10 Ubiquinone 100mg (to counter the effects of statins)

If you really want me to recommend multivitamin,
Pure essence master multivitamin 240 tablets
Life extension mix tablets 315 tablets

Of course one does not need to take the full dosage. Hence the above 2 is value for money.

Hi Ramjade, thank you for sharing! thumbsup.gif

Is this still the best affordable choice?

How do you validate the effectiveness after taking for a period of time?

I still stand by Nordic, Carlson and sports research.

Sports research is decent. It's certified by IFOS, in TG form and very high concentration.

You do a test.
1. Clean your hands with soap and water. Take a sewing needle and burn the tip/diabetes needle and poke your finger. Your bleeding should be prolong if you have taken sufficient dosage of fish oil. Of course rancid oil may also cause that.
2. Go do strenuous exercise until you can feel your muscle ache. Load up on fish oil say 15g/day and see if your pain resolve faster.
For me I sprained my ankle once and loaded up on fish oil, turmeric and the pain was gone in 2 days. By 3rd day was almost pain free.
3. Do a fasting lipid test at your BP, Gribbles lab. Your lipid profile should be decent. If not, something is wrong.

Thank you for your reply. Interesting test you mentioned here although might be due to variable factors.
Can fish oil help increase HDL and reduce LDL cholesterol?

Also, how does the combination of spirulina and cholera become multivitamin?

The easiest and safest test is lipid profile. In papers yes. But for me the one which really work was one avocado a day. It does wonder to one blood lipid after 3 months (tested personally)

I use to do that when I have access to 5lbs of nutrex spirulina and yaeyama chlorella. Until went out of stock. Now I just use amazing grass super orac instead + lots of fruits and vege like guava, dragon fruit, tomato, carrot.

Thank you again Ramjade. Any specific avocado or from particular country?

For sport research, only recommended is their fish oil?

The amazing superfood seems yummy, will take note.

On the other hand, for the healthy origin coq10 seems to out of stock. Kaneka coq10 100g instead?

Any avocado will do. Make sure it's soft to touch but not mushy. You can buy hard one. They can last like 1-2 weeks outside at room temp Once ripen it will become soft. You can try those on shopee (they are indonesians ones) but muuch cheaper than anything you cand find in the supermart except sometimes Giant selling like 1 piece RM1.50-RM1.80. QUality from shopee questionable. Never order before. Alternatively you can buy avocado oil. La Tourangelle Avocado Oil

Fish oil, turmeric. I take sports research turmeric twice daily.

Your choice. I am using Vitacost Synergy ToCoQ10 with BioPerine® & EVNol SupraBio 400 mg - 120 Softgels for my parents.

Much appreciated on the details.
Would love to consume the avocado vs the oil itself.

Anyway, it seems the brand sports research is more cormercially available in Malaysia compared to other brands, price relatively similar in shopee.

Do you buy all from Iherb? Can't find the vitacost in there

Thank you

Avocado have no taste. To being out the taste you need to mix it with food. Once you mixed it with food, it is like mayonnaise.

I buy from iherb. It's cheaper than what shopee sells. Those people just buy from iherb and sell on shopee making a profit.

Nope. I look elsewhere once I see iherb stops selling healthy origin in order to push their own brand California gold nutrition though. Kind of sad. California gold nutrition is kind of subpar Vs healthy origins.

I buy my coq10 from vitacost. At least they are still selling healthy origins brand.

Use bigpay if you ever want to do online shopping. It give you the best rate.

Nowadays I just take vitacost synergy 3000 multivitamin. Look at the ingredients and price!
Around USD14.99 flat rate for up to I think 3lbs. Use bigpay. Don't use bank cards.

Iherb is free shipping but they earned back by inflating the price. You can compare vitacost is cheaper.

It's been 4months, almost finished the Pure essence master multivitamin 240 tablets.
Also, had been consuming Sports research turmeric daily.

Mentally and physically feels more energetic but probably will go for a full blood test to see the difference.

@Ramjade Is there a lower serving size but a more concentrated option for the vitacost synergy 3000 multivitamins?
The recommended serving size of 6 is kinda a lot. Is the capsule small?

I take only 2 biji as I want to save cost. Then again I have lots of fruits and vege in my diet and taking amazing grass super orac as well.

So your choice. To answer your question no. No concentrated version. Btw use bigpay to buy. Don't use normal credit card.

Did I have high expectationn on the supplements taken? Cause I am a bit disappointed on the outcome (blood reports out) which is similarly the same way before consuming them. Just curious, is there any effects from your side? Concerns on low HDL and slightly high LDL

Mentally, I do feel its bringing a healthier me with the supplement. I work out strength training 4times/week without fail for years already..

Should I continue? Dilemma

You need right supplements for HDL and LDL. For me the only one which works are one avocado a day. Take for one month. Really change the result. But super expensive. One avocado is around rm3-4biji.

Those uspplemtns are not for HDL and LDL.

Thank you for your reply again!
Is there way to measure the efficiency of the multivitamins, fiah oil and tumeric to the body?

Noted on the avocado. Quite challenging actually for this new diet. Need to think of ways incorporate them into daily life.
