What do you guys/gals use? My GNC Mega Whatever ones are grossing me out.

I started stealing my work neighbor's he got from the Whole foods store, Alive MultiVitamin, and as a plus, it turns my urine florescent(sp) yellow. I can't wait to give some lucky unsuspecting girl a glo-in-the-dark golden shower.

I take a two-a-day multi, you can't absorb it all at once.

Yeah, these are two-a-days and they are time release from GNC. I gag on em in the morning and then I taste them all day long. :o I even eat breakfast with them so they aren't on an empty stomache...

Eat something with a moderate amount of unsaturated fat when you take them, that's how the body absobs it.

I usually eat toast or cereal with them. :confused: I'm pretty healthy when it comes to fat intake.

It's good to watch your fat intake, but some unsaturated fat in your diet is necessary for things like vitamin absorbtion and "greasing" your joints. Eating no fat at all is actually a bad thing.
ADAM Superior Men's Multi, Central Market sells them. Look like horse pills and don't taste too good.

I've been taking a Centrum every day for as long as I can remember, though my last supply was a Sam's equivalent. Didn't notice any difference.

GNC Mega Men
One a Day for men
I read a study awhile back that One A Day's and Centrum were a big waste of money. Something to do with the way they were made or something, the result is the body is unable to absorb the majority of the vitamins within the pill. Wish I could find a link. Thats when I made the switch to Mega Men.

I read that too recently. The article I read also stated that the Centrum senior vitamins were easier for the body to absorb, and less of the vitamin went to waste. Every time I take a multivitamin my next piss looks like mountain dew, so I guess I'm just pissing money away by taking them.

I've noticed that too, but if I eat something before I take the vitamin, that doesn't happen. But after reading what you guy's have said, I'm considering a change. How much is that Mega Men?

Mega-Men and Mega-women vitamins from GNC are among the best vitamins on the market still to date. Albertson's carries an exact copy of the GNC vitamin for about half the price. They copied everything about the vitamin and it actually comes from the same manufacturer. Try some different methods of taking it to see if the after taste goes away. I used to recommend to my female clients to break the vitamin up into halves and take it that way. You have to do it more often, but the problem went away. Be VERY careful with the sharp edges if you do break up the vitamin. The yellow pee from these vitamins is completely normal and shows up within an hour after taking the Mega brand vitamins. Vitamin B, which the Mega vitamins are loaded with, is a water soluble vitamin. Any of this vitamin, combined with other unused water soluble vitamins are pissed away. They do however produce a yellow color. Fat soluble vitamins do not do this and can be harmful if taken in high amounts.
On a side note, Centrum and One a Day vitamins rank in the lower 1% of store bought vitamins. The coating on the outside of the vitamin make it nearly impossible for the body to absorb and get pooped away. Our waste treatment plants are filled with these One a Day vitamins that never even made it into the body.
<-----Red, if you need more info on this stuff, PM me. Used to do it for a living.

Thanks for the info! :cool:
I went out last night and got a 180ct bottle of Mega-Men (wish I would have seen the Albertson quote first :(), I'll see if there is a difference from the Centrum.

it is one othe pills you take that makes it turn that color, it stays like that for about 4-6 hours then after you flush your system with the water it goes back to clear. it also makes it smell bad.

Read the above post about Vitamin B. That is where the color comes from as well as from other water soluble vitamins that are not used by the body.
