Mega Man Vitamins

[drinkrum]

Guys,

Where do you purchase your Mega Man vitamins? I went to the local GNC and it seemed really expensive. I found it on http://www.drugstore.com also, but still kinda expensive. Is there a place that sells it for cheap? Right now, I'm using OneSource vitamins from Wal-Mart. But want to try out MM due to all the hype and publicity on this board. Some even claim it helps out the ol' pecker.

Also, how many folks here use korean ginseng or ginko bilobo? Not really for hair loss, just an overall improvement in energy or mood or what not?

Just went ahead and bought 'em at GNC for 30.00 for 180 tabs. Should last 90 days. I hope your recommendations are correct, guys.

dood, you dont need to take 2 mega men a day, thats toxic

they have like 3000% US RDA of some vitamins.

I only take 1 like every other day.

heh, they aren't toxic

Megamen multi-vitamins aren't toxic at twice a day. They are set up like that for a reason. Yes, they are much higher in certain vitamins, but those are you water-soluable vitamins like the B-Complex. Those vitamins are usually in and out of your system in a few hours. Megamen is a timed-release multi giving your body more of a chance to absorb the vitamins and minerals. You can only fit so much in 1 pill, that's why it's consists of 2, it's a good idea to seperate them, just to replenish those B vitamins later in the day. Megaman puts emphasis on protecting the prostate, hence, the higher amount of Zinc in them, but the other minerals are right at the RDA of 100%. It also has a minute amount of saw palmetto, not enough to get excited over, same with nettle and pumpkin seed.

But to be honest, i usually only take them once a day, unless i'm eating bad that day or working out hard, or going out drinking.

It's a good multi, and definately a step up from a sh it centrum or some other synthetic multi.

oh the one area that might cause some contraversy is the Vitamin A content, just because vitamin A is fat-soluable and can be toxic at about 100,000 IU's daily for weeks.

Megaman has 10,000IU of Beta-Caratene, which is a precursor to Vitamin A and is virtually non-toxic. *shrug*

I have read about MEGA MAN here a bit. What are they supposed to do and what compounds are supposed to create their effect?

Thanks

I've been on them for a few days Bruce, and it just seems like a regular multi -- albeit quite beefed up. It's got saw palmetto extract, along with some aphrodisiac herbal compound -- but it doesn't seem to be aphrodisiacizing anything.

It does give you a whole lot of your vitamins and minerals, and it's time-released. But they're expensive at $30 for 180 pills (90 day supply).
