Just need some advice on what you guys take as a multi-vitamin. I am a big believer in vitamins, I've been taking Douglas Labs Ultra Preventive X on the advice of a couple of friends it is suppose to be made of natural compounds or something and I'll admit that I feel good on them, However they run about $60 a month. I've read/heard about some vitamins and centrum was the one I remember that because of coumpounds they are made with your body doesn't absorb well.(I'm just paraphrasing from memory) So I'm wondering what's the best Multi out there and what everyone takes

i just use one from costco.

I'm not sure there's much difference between it and any other multivitamin.
You don't need to go overboard with the super high potency stuff.

I've taken the GNC Ultra Mega brand of vitamins for years. I can't say that they have really improved my athletic performance at all but I definately feel better when I am taking them.

I usually use Centrum based on recommendations from my father-in-law who is also my optometrist.  He likes it because there is Leutine in it and there isn't in a lot of the other multi-vitamins.  I hadn't heard that they don't absorb well, although I'd be interested in reading more if you can remember where you read that.

I take a vegetarian-friendly B-complex vitamin and then just eat a balanced diet for the rest of my vitamins and minerals.

I take Centrum Silver on the advice of my cardiologist.  I'm on Coumadin because of my mechanical heart valve and Centrum Silver has a lower % of vitamin K which counteracts my Coumadin.
