What do you guys think of this multivitamin? page

[dizzyorange]

I'm looking to add a multi to my daily regimen, currently taking D3, fish oil, and mag. I wish I could get Mark's Damage Control but it's out of my budget. This one seems to have most of what Mark's has, and some other stuff too, and it's 1/10 of the price.



Does that look good? Are there any other affordable multivitamins that are worth consideration?

What are the non-medical ingredients?

I use it and it's awesome. Combine it with a high dose of vitamin d3 and b12 and you'll be soaring, I promise you.

Orange Triad and Animal Pak are also good multis, but Opti-Men has more than satisfactory amounts of the most important stuff, as well as things that often get neglected like choline and lutein.

Orange Triad looks pretty good too, I like the joint stuff. I might get both and take them on alternate days.

@slowcooker: it's not a replacement for real food but there's definitely stuff in there that has some merit. At the very least the digestive enzymes are recommended by none other than Robb Wolf.

What are the non-medical ingredients?

Oops misread your comment as "non-magical" . I assume you meant like what is in the filler? It's:

Stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silica, croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, pharmaceutical glaze.

My question was just to see if there are things you'd want to avoid vs. a comment on the quality and or quantities of the vitamins/minerals. The pharmaceutical glaze is something you might want to avoid - there could be titanium oxide in it. Whether the coating on a daily vitamin is enough to be concerned about? I'm not sure. You'd be surprised at some of the clearly unhealthy things that get added to 'health supplements'
