Do you like brightly colored urine?
Here's a test, after taking your multivitamin time how quickly your urine changes. If it's significantly darker in less than 12 hours, your body doesn't need it and you just confirmed your renal system works.
Fish oil (omega 3 fatty acid) is about the only deficiency anyone living in a Western nation has unless you have some medical deficiency.0 -

Not true at all.

To be clear, multivitamins are not gender specific unless you're talking about prenatals. The ones marketed for men tend to be iron-free, that's about it.
True as all.
Once again, I'll take Alan Aragon, & Layne Nortons studies, with proof, over your nonsense you continue to spew daily.
Sure don't. That's why I said, I'll take two doctors advice, over a MFP randoms.
It's not exactly rocket science to have a basic understanding of poor or synthetic vitamin/mineral forms.
What does that have to do with taking two doctors advice, who are world renowned in the fitness industry, over yours?
I fail to see how my advice contradicted Aragon's or Norton's?
And be careful throwing around the word "doctor" when it comes to fitness and nutrition. Family doctors, on average, know very little about advanced nutrition and supplements.... or fitness for that matter. They are not trained to adequately answer questions about these topics either. Even, the RD course is actually pretty narrow. Aragon and Norton did not excel at what they do because they are "doctors"... they actually live and breathe fitness and nutrition. Your average family doctor doesn't.
Besides, there are a lot of doctors, dieticians, nutritionists, etc. who have little to no clue what they are talking about in certain nutrition-related contexts. They are human beings, just like everyone else. And some are the scum of the Earth who try to siphon money from gullible people by selling worthless products.martyqueen52 wrote: »I don't need to know the difference, nor do I care.

I highly doubt X brand over Y brand will effect my 600 DL and 400+ squat
Nice attitude.
If you don't see the latter, then I'm not going go through and quote their studies, as compared to what you've "typed" on here.
Who brought up family doctors, at all? There you go again, bringing irrelevancy into a topic.
I know why Norton and Aragon are who they are, and for what reasons.
I'm glad you like my attitude. I promise you, it won't change

Lifting heavy doesn't mean you're intelligent and if you don't know much about vitamins you shouldn't be posting.

This video gives some idea as to why you should take a multivitamin and was posted by Layne Norton.

You are really aggressive despite making zero sense. Seems like you just like stirring the pot and hate when you're proven wrong.

Fish oil (omega 3 fatty acid) is about the only deficiency anyone living in a Western nation has unless you have some medical deficiency.
Riboflavin, vitamin B2 is gives the yellow color to your urine after taking a multivitamin. Most foods have riboflavin so you probably won't need that one as much as others.
Your test is illogical for testing that you use all the different nutrients in a multivitamin.

I take a b complex, and within a couple hours my pee looks neon bright. I thought this was a side effect of B's regardless if your body needs it or not??

Every multi-vitamin I have tried has made me feel sick. I take "Nature's Bounty - Fiber With D3 Adult Gummies". Super yummy and 15 cal for 2.0
