Which Multi-Vitamin?

I know lots of people believe in the power of Animal Paks, but 11 tabs?!?!?

Is it really worth it? Too much on the liver in my opinion.

What do u guys think? Need to buy some new vitamins and creatine too!

Id be interested to know if most HST/ Max-Stim folks take a multi-vitamin at all. In Bryans 'eating for size' article he stated you should be getting all your vitamins and minerals from food and I havnt heard Dan mention taking one either. Animal Paks are wild, who needs 10 grammes of Vitamin C every day!

Just take whichever is cheapest at the store.

Uh, the argument is still not settled as to wether or not we really need hypercompensation as BB'ers as far as I know. Most sites seem to recommend it, which would eliminate the use of grocery store vitamins, which are usually 100% RDA - the amount it takes to just keep you out of having a deficiency and getting a deficiency disease, like scurvy or rickets. So we choke down horse pills the size of palmetto bugs with nearly dangerous amounts of E and A.
I personally have never seen a vitamin make me FEEL better, nor notice any increases in strength or size from them, or loss of anything when I stop taking them. But I can't be sure they don't have some preventative capacities. And I don't even see scurvy amongst the homeless people we minister to, and they eat like crap when they eat at all.
Anyone?

The RDA has a very comfortable amount of padding figured into it, so even just getting the RDA you are already getting a lot more than the body will probably need.
