Vitamins

Can anyone tell me what brands of vitamins are the best? I take them, but I don't know if the vitamins I take are good ones or not. Money is a concern too. GNC has plenty of high quality vitamins that are $30+ a bottle... So if anyone knows of quality vitamins that won't pt me in the poor house please respond.

You should ask your doctor or a nutrionist. They will tell you what kinds are good.

I heard from a nutritionist to avoid Centrum. They told me that *this is really gross* Centrum has actually been found in people's feces in the same sollid pill form it they took it in. If your stomach acid isn't strong enough to deisolve something it's not worth taking.

I like food based vitamins - like the ones you find in health food stores, i.e. whole foods. In my opinion, they were better for me than GnC. Anyway, on the label it should also indicate that it has a few versions of same vitamin (i.e. beta carotene and something else- can't remember the name- for Vitamin A), couple calcium formulas. It all makes the absorpion better. The pills should be also 2-3 times bigger than Centrum and include some herbal organic compounds.
