[jbogar]

I have mega men multi vitamins that seem to have high doses of all vitamins now this seems good but shouldnt I take a break in between the doses and days to let mey body absorb the vitamins somehow?

bro you can take too much of anything...even multi vitamins...your body needs breaks once in a while...

Your body will only absorb what is needed at the given moment and then excrete the remainder. That's why it's important to take your multi-vitamin supplement every day. Your body does not store vitamins.
The fat soluble vitamins; vitamins A, D, E and K you have to be a little bit more careful about as you can develop toxicity if you mega dose those - but you would have to take the whole bottle in one sitting to experience that problem.

Your body can only absorb so much however so mega dosing vitamins is mainly a waste of money. Most people on this board use Ruthless 3D from n2bm.com. It is a very cost effective multi vitamin that gives your body everything it needs.

This exactly what I wanted to say - the excess vitamins usually get excreted from the body, so there is no need to worry about them accumulating in your body. However, it is pointless to use too much of the vitamins, as the results will still be the same, and you will be wasting the precious product.

If you take too many vitamins but not enough to die you'll just piss it out.

I am not a proponent of multi vitamins unless they also contain piperine which will help you absorb more of them.. that is why I love n2guard, you actually absorb what you take. you won't get anything out of taking some cheap multi from walmart

Once you have your diet dialed in, you should be able to tell what is missing. I would only supplement where needed or you are just wasting money. Make sure to eat a variety and get those veggies in!

If your pee is bright neon yellow then your multi is shit imo.

What are some other top multi brands? As I feel I really should be taking one.

Side question but, I've gotten sick twice in the past month or so, what can i supplement with to keep my immune system going strong?
