    I personally think, that the American diet is very lacking. We have formed bad habits and lets face it a slice of pizza will always be tastier than brocolli. I think we could all use a good, basic, complete multi vitamin. Diet or not I believe everyone should be taking: multivitamin (NOT a mega dose) fish oil , vit D, and an adaptogen-you choose CoQ enzyme, cordycep, astralaugus- something basic

    If your looking at the Dr Oz type miricle tablets- I have tried them all on myself with negligible is any result.

    the only thing i take in one a day...and my diet isnt anywhere it used to be! and its not perfect but its 100% better than it used to be....and honestly ive come to like my veggies haha

    If it is the generic one a day, pretty much a waste from everything I have read. I'd look at something like GNC Sports Men or whatever, I used that a while back and did fine. Was affordable and everything. I use Animal Pak now.

    GNC supplements score pretty low on their efficacy and reliability of ingredients. Consume Lab is an excellent ( fee to join) source of unbiased, science based reviews for supplements.
    I personally like Nature Mades products as most conform to the USP (united states phamacopeia standards)/

    I've been taken BCAA's after my workouts, and I have noticed that I recovery fast and I'm not as sore the next day.

    The GNC worked pretty well for me. This was also 5+ years ago, and notice, not using it now. :D I generally think 1 a day is pretty worthless.

    GNC Mens gave me an energy kick as well. But now I just use a diet that keeps my energy in GOGOGO mode.
