do you fellas take VITAMINS & MINERALS (actual vitamins & minerals)?

[Costanza]

Absolutely, but you have to watch how much you take or else you can get a copper deficiency. I've seen pills that have 75 mgs, which can be dangerous. 

Cool, will give it a go.

"It can't prevent mortality, stroke or heart attack."

Well, this sounds logical to me. Vitamins can't 'fix' bad genetics or an unhealthy lifestyle.

[anabolichalo]

some things i wonder about

in recent years they started researching the dangers of superdosing vitamins and minerals, for instance taking a lot of zinc increases probability of prostate cancer


also, isnt stuff like animal pak super expensive?

there is no evidence that you actually get the same effects from tablet vitamins that you do from eating real foods. 5 fruit and veg a day is the way to go..

Think of the size of those tiny tablets compared to an apple and an orange, multivitamins = expensive piss

Exactly right! And these are the same people talking about what a scam supplements are. I have never once had a doctor advise taking vitamins. You guys know what's up, come on! Eat good food.

I DO almost all this fruit/vege wise and still do multi nothing crazy just few tabs..

[Thick Nick]

IMHO Twinlab > all. Any time I try anything else I always go back to Twinlab. The slight cost bump is worth it. That's my experience anyway.

I don't train heavy or anything anymore but I still take their daily, flax / fishoil, probiotic, cal / magnesium.

Other then that I use fiber supplements and BSN Syntha 6 on the rare occasion I need some extra pritein anymore.

FYI: your local family doctor has an embarrassingly little  amount of formal training when it comes to nutrition. This should be where you set the bar for "what's good for you."

[Cleanest Natural]

I prefer eating plenty of leafy bitter greens.

Not sure how you guys think taking one of those tiny pills is going to replace eating a cup of blueberries, some apples, orange, some asparagus, kale etc..  Just eat good. very basic stuff.

Zinc increases your natural testosterone levels though. Also great for crushing through common colds or just avoiding getting sick in the first place.

Zinc + Vitamin C daily = no flu or common cold.

[Mr Anabolic]

LOL! 

All AMA (American Medical Association) propaganda.

No problem with poison prescription meds... which kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.
