What vitamins do you take?

[Dedpuhl]

3 times per day: Atkins Basic #3
2 times per day: Essential Oils pill
1 time per day: teaspoon of L-Glutamine powder

I'm also looking for low cost alternative to Q-Urol or Prosta-Q (Saw Palmetto doesn't do anything for me).

ALMOST ALL B-vits are synthetic, its really hard and expensive to get natural b-vits, but all of GNC's vits are not synthetic. GNC carries alot of differant types of calcuim, not just carbonate, so i think you are wrong in saying GNC is crap. You should come to my GNC stores, and see all the natural and whole food type of vits, herbs, and such that we carry.

Every GNC is the same. It is a franchise.

I have seen some good brands sold in GNC, but I think the GNC brand itself is crap. My problem is with the product, not the store.

Regarding that multivitamin, One-A-Day Men's is advertising "lycopine"?

Lycopine is an antioxidant from tomatoes. Anything tomatoe based, such as ketchup and spaghetti sauce, has lycopene in it and isn't important as a supplement.

Now some fact vs. myth:

Rossman lycopine is in that vitamin, along with choline etc...(while its importance is somewhat debated)

Sagalore I still tend to disagree with you. Even so, horse oats with molasses is good stuff

There seem to be 3 different types of vitamin users out there:

1) Centrum, One a Day, etc. like me.
2) GNC hardcore faboi's (brain washed)?
3) SagaLore and Son of a Noob who seem to know their stuff.

I take 2 powdered supplements, that you dissolve in water & drink (for better absorbtion into your system)
one is a standard multivitamin, the other is an anti-oxidant

I get my vitamins in the food I eat. I also think that people who think taking multivitamins can offset poor eating habits are kidding themselves. There is likely a small population that requires vitamin supplements to maitain their health, but for most people it's a waste of money.
