MegaMen is garbage from what I hear. Put your multi in vinegar and if it dissolves pretty quickly then its good. Ive done this test with megaman before and it take forever to start dissolving. I know Animal Stak is pretty good.

Both of these are a great bang for the buck.

I've heard good things about the Animal Paks also.

Neither of those are as complete or as potent as DX7 but they are a little cheaper. Animal Paks are the same price as DX7, though missing somevital ingredients. You can also get vitamin shoppe brand if you're looking for cheap. DX7 is if you're looking for top of the line. Depends on what you want.

DX7 is less potent on most of the main vitamins at almost 3x the cost. It does have some addtional ingredients, but is it worth the much higher cost?
It's your nickel my friend. Give it a try for 30 days and give the other a try for 30 days and see if you notice any difference.

DX& has the max potentcy except for fat soluable vitamins where you don't want too much. (Fat soluable can be toxic, water soluable can not).
Notic a difference? Hey, you wouln't necessarily notice if you ate enough protein or had enough B12 -- you do these things as insurence so your body works optimally.

A good multi and various nutrients that insure optimum health, recovery and immunity are the single most important factor in bodybuilding, so I don't quite understand your reasoning here.
No, you may not "see" or "feel" anything, but you don't "see" or "feel" anything after drinking a glass of water either. But go 3 days without water and then see what happens.
I take NatureMade Multi for Him. Of course I follow a Mediterranean diet, so most of my vitamins come from all the vegetables and fruits I eat.
tshoot said:
It was an analogy bro. Sorry you missed my point.
The thing is; you don't "feel" vitamins or even a deficiency right away. But that doesn't mean they aren't important, especially for a serious bodybuilder.

Study: Vitamins tied to prostate cancer
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070515..._prostate_1;_ylt=AoD1wAZ1GNWzOIjGTo6hOO8E1vAI
There's more worrisome news about vitamins: Taking too many may increase men's risk of dying from prostate cancer.
The study, being published Wednesday, doesn't settle the issue. But it is the biggest yet to suggest high-dose multivitamins may harm the prostate, and the latest chapter in the confusing quest to tell whether taking various vitamins really helps a variety of conditions — or is a waste of money, or worse.
Government scientists turned to a study tracking the diet and health of almost 300,000 men. About a third reported taking a daily multivitamin, and 5 percent were heavy users, swallowing the pills more than seven times a week.
Within five years of the study's start, 10,241 men had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Some 1,476 had advanced cancer; 179 died.
Heavy multivitamin users were almost twice as likely to get fatal prostate cancer as men who never took the pills, concludes the study in Wednesday's Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Here's the twist: Overall, the researchers found no link between multivitamin use and early-stage prostate cancer.
The researchers speculate that perhaps high-dose vitamins had little effect until a tumor appeared, and then could spur its growth.
While similar but smaller studies have suggested a link, too, more rigorous research is needed, caution the National Cancer Institute scientists. This newest study involves men who voluntarily took vitamins, and those most at risk — perhaps because they had a family history of the disease — may have been more likely to take the pills in hopes of avoiding their fate.
Still, "the findings lend further credence to the possibility of harm associated with increased use of supplements," Dr. Christian Gluud of Copenhagen University Hospital and Dr. Goran Bjelakovic of Serbia's University of Nis wrote in an accompanying editorial.
Nonsense.
