I did a search but the most recent thread I could find was 6 years old.

I know some of you are way more into nutrition than I am, so I was hoping for some advice on the best multi vitamin. I don't have a flawlessly balanced diet every day, so I am sure I am not getting my recommended vitamin levels all the time. I'm also just interested to see if taking a premium multivitamin provides any noticeable effect on health or quality of life.

I tried to look at this objectively and I found a website called "labdoor". Assuming they're legit, they recommend Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Men as their highest rated multi vitamin and when an ingredient was inaccurate, it offered more not less:

https://labdoor.com/review/garden-of-life-vitamin-code-for-men

It seems interesting in that everything is naturally derived, does not need to be taken with food and it has no unsafe ingredients.

In the past I just bought the Kirkland ones but comparing the ingredients they barely have anything in them compared to others, and they get a poor rating on labdoor (again assuming it is reputable).

Is that a good place to start? Anything better out there? I'm not worried about the price (within reason) if they are objectively better than competing products.

Also, why would I need to take 4/day if each pill has 100% or more of my daily recommended value in almost every category?

TIA

Or should I just get something like this and be done with it?

I just started taking "Progressive Active Men" Multi as recommended by a friend who is a naturopath.

I have no idea how they rank to others, but I trust her.


Another brand I was reading up on is the "NOW Adam" multi. Its pretty highly rated on Bodybuilding.com

Taking one good look at the progressive active men ingredients and it’s clear it’s a shitty multi. Do some research on mineral and vitamin absorption and you’ll see why.

Best option imeo is vita jym and take your zinc mag and potassium at night separately.

Not a multivitamin but a more targetted approach to things I know I lack (in my case specifically, potassium):

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000F4WOAU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some interesting research as of late regarding omega 3:omega 6 ratios that suggest people don't get nearly enough of the 3 and the imbalance might be leading to some diseases.

I will also start taking units of D3 as the seasons are changing, less light etc.

Everyone has their favourite and slam others. but half the time it just ends up being expensive urine.

To play the other side one could also say vita jym is a shitty multi for the exact same reasons you mention (absorption). They claim 500-1000mcg b12. Studies show b12 absorption exponentially decays to the point they can’t even effectively measure the absorption beyond 500mcg (from what I’ve read even out of the 500mcg you only absorb between 5-10mcg).

I’ve lost faith in multis, I think a lot of it is pure placebo.

Even if you do, our North American food source is losing its nutritional values. Has been going on for decades as our soils are being drugged and depleted of nutrients. Outsourced food is another issue.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Does anyone actually use these Garden of Life Vitamin Codes? I will look into the others suggested too.

The "NOW Adam" rate pretty well and are a bit cheaper per unit than the Vitamin Code but I don't know which is the better Vitamin:

While I don't think taking a multi is a game changer, I think it's still relatively important for people trying to reach certain fitness goals or those who are deficient in certain areas.

I trust this dude when it comes to supplement science..

Jim Stoppani received his doctorate in exercise physiology with a minor in biochemistry from the University of Connecticut. Following graduation, he served as a postdoctoral research fellow in the prestigious John B. Pierce Laboratory and Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine, where he investigated the effects of exercise and diet on gene regulation in muscle tissue.
He was awarded the Gatorade Beginning Investigator in Exercise Science Award in 2002 by the American Physiological Society for his groundbreaking research. Currently, Jim runs his own fitness website JimStoppani.com.
He has written thousands of articles on exercise, nutrition, and health, and is author of "Encyclopedia of Muscle & Strength" (Human Kinetics, 2006), co-author of the New York Times Bestseller, "LL Cool J's Platinum 360 Diet and Lifestyle" (Rodale, 2010), co-author of the book "Stronger Arms & Upper Body" (Human Kinetics, 2008), and co-author of the chapter "Nutritional Needs of Strength/Power Athletes" in the textbook "Essentials of Sports Nutrition and Supplements" (Humana Press, 2008). Dr. Stoppani is the creator of the Platinum 360 Diet, and creator of the diet program found in the book "Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness" (Rodale, 2008).
Dr. Stoppani has been the personal nutrition and health consultant for celebrity clients, such as LL Cool J, Dr. Dre, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Mario Lopez. He has appeared on the NBC television show "Extra" as an Extra LifeChanger and as a science expert on the Spike television shows "Jesse James is a Dead Man" and "MANswers."

I listened to a "Science VS" podcast on multivitamins as well and they basically said the same as you, but interestingly enough the doctors they interviewed took them themselves as it couldn't hurt.

Any medical articles you could point to would be appreciated - I like reading that kind of stuff.

Rule one though in anything. The second someone has a monetary stake in the game you have to be careful with what they say as they wouldn’t say something that would hurt their sales even if it’s right.

I agree with you he seems to have good credentials. But blasting a multi full of b12 well beyond the point any human could absorb even a fraction of it (like every other pill on the market) isn’t sound science

I know I’m straw manning a bit here as it’s just one aspect but I would personally be just as skeptical of the quality and science behind that product as any other multi

That is and isn’t true. If you actually read the study in the 13 nutrients studied 6 showed declines while 7 showed no change. Those changes ranged from -6% (negligible?) to 38%.

I haven’t seen a study (even a theoretical one) that looks at if that decrease would have any effect on overall health.
Riboflavin for example (the nutrient with the 38% decrease over the study period) it seems is very easy to exceed the daily requirements.

Results from study:


As a group, the 43 foods show apparent, statistically reliable declines (R < 1) for 6 nutrients (protein, Ca, P, Fe, riboflavin and ascorbic acid), but no statistically reliable changes for 7 other nutrients. Declines in the medians range from 6% for protein to 38% for riboflavin.

That was not my contention. My position is that there has been measurable, nutritional soil depletion, which was countered by a 'tin foil hat' type of argument, which I then showed evidence for.

Go here for information on a lot of supplements:

https://examine.com/nutrition/do-you-need-a-multivitamin/

According to their Supplement-Goals Reference Guide (which I purchased several years ago; probably equivalent to their A-to-Z Supplement Reference), no multi is necessary but people are likely underdosing vitamins D and K. Others they list that are difficult to get the optimal levels in the diet are calcium, iron (for low/no meat eaters), magnesium, and zinc (mostly for people who sweat a lot). Fish oil is good to balance meat intake, unless fatty fish intake is also sufficient.

Evidence strongly supports Vit D supplementation for every single Canadian.

Around 2011-2012 the debate was quite heated, every single patient coming in begging for their vitamin D to be checked.

Fast forward to 2018, it's very simple, if you are in Canada you should take vitamin D. The test is no longer covered as its deemed unnecessary, costs $35.

Cuz, two gummies equals a standard vitamin. So I only take one, because I'm pretty sure at most I need to just cover a minor deficiency at most. If I ate too many ramen noodles on the week, then two gummies per day.

Keep in mind noticing a short term difference might not be a good thing. Some of these are packed with as much b6/b12 as an average energy drink purposely so people think they’re working, when in reality you’re just getting overloaded with B vitamin

Looking at Wellman it’s got more b12 than a redbull can.

I can almost gauruntee the difference you’re seeing is due to being slammed with b vitamin (actually says it right on the package it uses b vitamin for energy)

Also contains arginine which is in a lot of pre-workouts to promote blood flow.

Just be careful when you use anecdotal evidence to suggest the quality of one product vs another because it will probably be for the wrong reasons. Pumping yourself full of b-vitamin daily isn’t necessarily a good thing. Even though in the short term it may feel like it’s doing good things

Not necessarily, just your deduction that GNC is crap and Wellman isn’t because you felt a difference is not valid. Multis are packed full of additional useless crap to give you energy boosts and make you feel different when in reality they haven’t done anything beneficial for you..

They are both equally crap in terms of scientific backing, pick your favourite if you’re going to use them but I wouldn’t go as far as suggesting one is better than the other.

I see your point. Are you arguing that the multivitamins are more of a stimulant then..?
GNC did not make me feel good if im honest. That why I found it crap.

Maybe my method of comparison is complete bollocks.
I have a juicer, and after drinking a mixture of oranges, apples and some veggies. After the third day, I feel a difference. Same thing when I eat proper non processed foods. After a week or so I start to feel better.
That was my comparison to the multivitamin.

Should a multi vitamin make you feel better?

You think that listing a "test" with vague subjective factors that have no description whatsoever, of an out of date product that I'm not sure is even sold any longer, and then trying to making claim of all the things the test checks for, as if to say it tested poorly despite what the link you yourself posted shows, classifies as "actual data"? You can file that with your anecdotal flu shot "data". So I guess you're the Beyond version of 780's Maverick. I'll just get you on ignore now then. Keep it real.

Yet another post where you completely ignore our requests for objective data supporting your argument...I wonder why that is.

And if you think peer reviewed medical science and the CDC are anecdotal, you either have mental issues or you are simply trolling.

Once again I will ask you to show us your data that proves all of these things wrong. Or are you going to ignore the request again? Putting me on ignore isn't going to make your lack of data any less obvious.

I prefer the sniff test to determine quality - it's how I got the nickname Bloodhound Matt

Regarding Vit D, I'd wager that a majority of the people reading this thread need to take extra, especially during the winter months.

what is a good Vitamin D source? would the Jamieson gummies suffice?

I'm not familiar sorry. Get some bloodowrk done and see where you stand with your doc. Likely be told a certain amount of units of D3.
