Just have to watch the dosage and if it has iron it needs to be ferrous.

Evidence for benefits of multiviatmins are nonexistent.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/health/17well.html

"Everyone needs vitamins, which are essential nutrients that the body can’t produce on its own. Inadequate vitamin C leads to scurvy, for instance, and a lack of vitamin D can cause rickets.
But a balanced diet typically provides an adequate level of these nutrients, and today many popular foods are fortified with extra vitamins and minerals. As a result, diseases caused by nutrient deficiency are rare in the United States."

What COA said. Although studies have shown there are still benefits to fish oil and possibly vitamin D. I also take turmeric, which helps with recovery. It’s like taking a natural ibuprofen.

Pro tip, if you ever feel like you are getting sick take Andrographis. Natural herb supplement proven to help with colds.

covering the bases like I said......when you are running 50 miles a week and lifting 2-3 times a week.......extra potassium and B vitamins is worth it. Extra zinc and Vit C for the immune system is preventative.

I work out just as much or probably even harder than you do. You're wasting your time if you have a proper diet.

I know what the literature sais about it being a waste of money and only in small chances that they help. I will waste money on that small chance.

Have you ever experimented to see what it would be like without them? If you try it for a month or two I don’t think you will die.

Lol - I️ challenge you to find an iron supplement that isn’t “ferrous”. That literally means “containing iron” in Latin. The salt form is what changes.

Multi-vitamins really aren't worth shit? Damn, here I am paying for a placebo effect like a common CC. I feel shame.
