Taking any multi is like taking Slim Fast as a protein supp. Sure, its fine and cheap and won't kill you, but it's not the higest quality. DX7 is more for people who take supps beyond the basics with ingredients like Lycopene, (for prostate health) Beta Glucan, (for immunity health and recovery) MSM, (for carlidge strength) etc. So if you're supplementing those things you'll save a lot of money by getting it all in one shot. Animal Pak is the closest in being more "complete" but a lot of the ingredients like Smilax and pepsin are worthless. So the bottom line is, if you want the best and are willing to spend a little extra, DX7 is your best deal. If you just want a basic vitamin pill, then go with one of the generic brands.
