Melaleuca's Vitality Pack...98% absorbed by the body.  Centrum is only 4%...They have a patented manufacturing process that allows for such a high absorption rate.  \nThey bond the vitamins with a molecule of fructose, tricking the body into thinking it's absorbing sugar, when, in fact, it's getting wonderful nutrients it needs. \nMost vitamins, sad to say, go right thru your body whole and are flushed down the toilet.\n\nI'm all for saving money on cheap stuff...but not supplements.  Cheap, generic supplements are cheap for a reason...they pass right thru your system.  Use one that you can feel working.

You're probably getting more than you need since they are designed to provide nutritional support for two.  I'd be most concerned about the iron content.  Unless you've been diagnosed as anemic, you shouldn't take a lot of supplemental iron since it can tax your kidneys among other things.  If you just feel like you need to supplement your diet, why not just take a regular multivitamin/multimineral supplement?

yes, take them daily. the u.s.r.d.a. sets standards that are the minimum amount of each vitamin or mineral supplement that the average joe would need to survive. taking more than that supplies your body with what it needs to heal and grow and protect itself from viuses and bacteria, blah blah blah. good luck !

No, Vitamins are good for you, as long as you don't take too many. One multivitamin a day is fine.

You can take vitamin c and a mutli-vitamin with milk.  Your body needs magnesium to absorb calcium so you should actually absorb the calcuim in milk better with most multivitamins.

This may also help you. Below is a link to a great product. Most of us take some form of multi-vitamin but neglect the minerals we need. Below is the best mineral you can possible purchase (only $12.00). The good thing for you is that taken in higher amounts it produces a laxative effect.

Hi, A good multi-vit is a must. B-complex vit. are important they've been branded as helping the body deal w/stress. Make sure it has Biotin in it (cheaper vit's dont have much if any because its more costly). Just dont buy some cheap a** centrum, flinstones ect. I do belive the three tab a day method is best, cuz if you take the all at once tabs they leave all at once, BUT thats better than none. Take em w/meals or a shake when possible, B-vits will wash away quick with just the H2O in your system here's some links below. Plus: Do you have a high temprture shower filter? Chlorine doesnt help. iron can help not to much.  Protein low? Get a Protein. I like Natues Plus stuff they have sound research and not over the top prices online. Ultra Hair® Plus Sustained Release Tablets combined with stright (no vits) shake. MetRx has great protein. Shop arond for best price. Get some relaxing exercise walk/jog-walk. be consisant w/the above and give it time.

Ephedra and caffeine are the only two products with any substantial test behind them to back up their effectiveness.  Thats not to say that other products dont work or dont work better but as of right now theres no scientific that anything else is truely as good.\n\nNow, my favorite list of supplements are:\n\nCLA - congugated linoleic acid\ncaffine - in pill form\nmulti vitamine - gives your body everything it needs to burn cals effectively\nvitamine C - people that take this usually burn 60% more cals during a workout than those that did not.

Chemical multivitamins like Centrum dont do much good. Our body absorbs natural substances better.\nLook of good natural/herbal multivitamin supplements manufactured by reputable companies. They will be pricier than Centrum for sure (you have to pay for health)\nThen take the nutrition info to your health care professional / nutritionist and check out according to your requirements and current medications/special conditions/allergies before taking.

Lots of studies are showing you can over do it with vitamins.  Any over the counter multi-vitamin should be fine but there's no need to get carried away with it.  Eat the right things and you don't need them at all.  By the way, always eat to digest vitamins or most of them won't have time to get into your body before they're gone.

Multivitamins are good, but the +iron I would confide in my doctor.  Many people get enough iron in there daily diet without supplementing iron...iron is usually taken when your anemic.

For what? There are suppliments for everything. For general health, as a male-- you need lots of antioxidants and LOTS of B-vitamins. Also, Lutien and Saw Palmetto and Ginseng are real great for guys. They all help increase energy and help protect your goods... Don't forget to drink plenty of water.
