Premium Multivitamin
Question: Can the wrong vitamin supplements be bad for you when sick? I have mono and am currently taking Mega Men Sport, it has tons of vitamins, but says "premium performance multivitamin for active men." Can this be bad?
Answer: Overdosing on vitamins is bad at any time. Since you're recovering from mono, you should be especially aware that both mono and too much vitamin A can damage your liver.
Avoid megadoses of vitamins for now; try to get your nutrients through food.
Question: What is the best energy multivitamin for a teenager? Hi im 16 and i have a huge workload because i am in a different school system. Also after school i play lots of sports throughout the whole year, I have a pretty bad diet and im not about to improve so please don't suggest that. I just need a vitamin or pill thats healthy and natural that will make me feel awake and prepare me for intense training and sports. So i will have enough energy to go through school do my sports go home and do my homework and still have enough energy to watch a little T.V. haha. =] Please let me know! i bought kirklands premium performance multivitamin but im not sure if its good?
what about the 8 hour energy pills?
Answer: Im not sure about a pill but 5 hour energy would be perfect for you.
And if you think its for softies, a professional football player (I think on the Browns) uses it everyday for practice. (Look on their website).
They are expensive though 2$ or so on 1 bottle. So go to Costco and buy a big case of them.
Question: is kirkland signature premium performance multi-vitamin a good multi-vitamin? i used this multivitamin for a short time and still using it and wanted to know is kirkland signature premium performance multi-vitamin a good multi-vitamin , and did anyone use it and a had a good result ?
Answer: i would suggest either animal pak or ast multipro32x. multipro is very cheap and will last a couple months. it has all the nutrients you need(as someone who works out i assume). animal pak is also good for a weight lifter.
Question: Is eating a lot of good food bad for your weight? When you have extra energy and nutrients I think it is stored as fat. Recently I bought premium multi-vitamins, and have been eating really healthy, but I get hungry a lot because i used to eat a lot before but was never fat. Now I eat a lot of good food instead of bad food also with the multivitamins, for example, after school I ate some baked beans, yogurt, cheese, and a whole wheat bagel yet I am still hungry. Does this mean I will be storing a lot of extra nutrients as fat now? I work out often about 3-4 times a week which might explain some of the reason i am hungry a lot.
Answer: You're hungrier because you are working out. Even if you're trying to lose weight, on days that you workout, you want to account for that time by eating a few more calories. Usually 300-400 calories per day. Even on days you're not working out, your muscles are trying to repair themselves, so your body still needs more energy than usual.
If you keep working out and are consuming more calories, it's okay, as long as those calories are healthy and balanced between proteins, carbs, and yes fats too.
You can actually lose weight even if you are eating more calories per day.

Answer: That's very normal for anything containing vitamin B supplements. Your body can't store Vitamin B so it just discharges the excess in your urine.
Question: Vitamins Enough? I have a KirkLand Signatures High Performance Multi Vitamins box that i just got. I am 13, and how many pills should i take a day?
http://0-dietarysupplements.nlm.nih.gov.catalog.llu.edu/dietary/detail.jsp?name=Kirkland+Signature+Premium+Performance+Multivitamin%2C+With+Lycopene+%26+Lutein&contain=11001021&pageD=brand
Answer: The best way to get the vitamins you need is with proper diet. Eating a balanced diet that consists of whole, unprocessed foods consisting of protein, fiber, fats, vegetables, and fruit is the best way to ensure this. Being active and getting enough sleep is important, too.
Unfortunately, the conditions in which our foods are grown now causes them to be less vitamin rich than they should be and so a multivitamin is sometimes needed.
When choosing a multivitamin you should be sure it is geared towards your age and that you follow the directions on the bottle to be sure you're going to get what you need and not too much of what you shouldn't have. At you're age,and rapid development, you have different nutritional/ vitamin needs than an adult.
Though vitamins are thought of as natural, that doesn't mean they're safe in any amount. Too much of some things can be toxic. Some vitamins shouldn't be taken with some meds, etc.
I suggest you ask your doctor for a recommendation for a good multivitamin for your age and/or ask him about the one you have purchased. If he approves of the one you currently have, be sure you take it properly.
Question: I am 22 and I have NO energy..what's wrong? I just started taking One Source Ultimate Women's premium multivitamins. I am 22 years old and I am a full time student in school and I also work a full time job. I don't sleep enough and I also don't eat right (I skip many meals, etc). So needless to say I'm constantly tired and I feel fatigued. I decided to buy a vitamin to help me with my energy level. I have noticed that I go to the bathroom a lot more and I also have had some cramping in the kidneys...is this normal? I have had kidney stones before so I'm hoping that's not it but the only thing is I didn't notice any pain until I started taking these vitamins 2 days ago. I know that it is good to drink more water while taking vitamins so they can filtrate through your system (Including the kidneys). Does anyone know what is going on and will this vitamin help my energy level?
I also am always stressed out. I ended a very traumatic relationship about 4 months ago but I am still being bothered with many of the same issues from my ex. My ex has brought nothing but drama and stressful issues (like financial problems, personal problems) into my life..and his problems became my issues and I had to bail him out. It is a huge burden on me and weighs me down.
I am just so exhausted...what can I do to fix this and feel better?
Answer: I was feeling much like you a couple years ago. Totally exhausted and couldn't identify why. I couldn't even really walk to my car if it was parked too far away without getting winded and having to stop to rest (and I'm not old, out of shape, or overweight).
I went to the doctor and it ended up that I was severely anemic (to the point of needing a blood transfusion).
I definitely recommend going to the doctor... I put my trip off awhile, and if I hadn't waited so long, I probably wouldn't have had to go to the hospital!
/keeping my fingers crossed for you...

Answer: I am not sure what is going on with you, but in my experience I have found that vitamin B12 is the best for boosting energy and the way you feel. It helps me a lot.
Question: Is my 14 year old son old enough to start taking Dietary Suplements? I use to buy him those vitamin gummy bears, but i saw these Premium Performance Multivitamins at Costco and I am wondering if he should take it.

Oh and just to add he is not overweight, he exercises alot, but does not eat a lot of fruits or vegetables.
Oh and just to add he is not overweight, he exercises alot, but does not eat a lot of fruits or vegetables.
Again to add he is not overweight, these are not to make him lose weight. When i say dietary supplements i just mean multi vitamins.
Answer: Dietary pills do not "work" as they promise.
They do make people loose weight, the weight that is lost, is water weight. No actual fat lost.
It is depriving the body of water dehydrating the user and damaging their insides.
Answer is NO.
Question: Why won't my dog eat REAL food?!? he won't eat. Well that's what I thought anyways... UNTIL on an impulse I gave him canned food (gross I know), and he ate it.
(Tears are coming to my eyes, after all that effort...)
His "normal" food is a mix of Premium mince, carrot, dog multivitamin and dry dog food.
Now, this CRAP I had for an emergency is what it will eat!
ALSO, my other people eats his "real" food but wants to eat 3/4 of that then eat some of my others puppies food regardless of what it is.
So, the question is how do I get my pup to eat "real" food?
AND how do I deter my other puppy from eating the starving puppies food?
(BTW they are both 8 week old Jack Russell pups (M), the one who doesn't eat is ALOT smaller then the other. THey are both wormed, vaccinated and to be fleaed tomorrow AND the vet checked them both today and they are healthy)
Carrots prevent diorrhea and constipation in dogs, and a common misconception is that dogs are carnivores, well they are omnivores.
So, that's why I would feed him carrots.

Answer: FOOD FACTS:
* Give your dog healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables: apple slices, carrot sticks, orange segments, banana slices, and frozen vegetables are all canine favorites.
* It's okay to give your dog a little bite of what you had for dinner.
* Some foods aren't good for dogs and can cause serious health problems. These include chocolates, onions, raisins, grapes, tomatoes, caffeinated beverages, garlic, walnuts, macadamia nuts, cooked bones (chicken, turkey, pork, beef)
* Feed your dog at the same time every day.
* Always feed your dog in his bowl
* Make sure what you buy is high in protein, not grain-based, and that it's AAFCO-tested. The AAFCO, the American Association of Feed Control Officials, is a watchdog group that sets food-testing and labeling standards.

Question: Is this a healthy meal to be feeding me puppy? OK, I took some peoples advice on not feeding him dry food with high amounts of corn, but I had to finish the packet since I bought it.
So this is his new diet.
3 times a day he gets A mixture of Science Diet Puppy Bits (only a small amount so we can finish it of), Purina Supercoat for Puppies (its first ingredient was meat so I chose that one to compensate the Science Diet), raw premium mince, a VitaPet Pride Multivitamin (split into three bits for each meal) AND a little bit of shredded carrot on top off (I added that because of his diorrhea and pain pooing when he had worms since people said that is what to do)
His meals are small about 60g (I don't know if that is right or not)
AND for drink he wouldn't drink water so I bought Lactose Free Puppy Milk to mix into the water and he seems much more willing to eat it.
He is an 8 week old Jack Russell Terrier (M).
So, am I doing it right?
Is there anything I should change??
Answer: It's wonderful that you're including some fresh foods into the diet. That is so great for your dog!
However, I have to be honest and say that the Purina and Science Diet are 2 of the worst foods on the planet. They are not made with proteins that are fit for human consumption and in fact are manufactured with 4D meats and other ingredients that are far from healthy.
When a manufacturer uses ingredients that are actually safe, good, clean and fit for human consumption, you will see that all over their literature and their website. Labelling laws prevent a pet food manufacturer from saying "human grade" (or the similar language) on the label but it is absolutely allowed in the company's literature and website. You will notice that you see none of that from Purina or Hill's (Science Diet). I would remove these foods from the diet.
So what should you do? Well, it depends on how you want to feed. At the end of the day, you need to feel comfortable with what goes into the food bowl so whether you want to prepare all your food from home or include some commercial food is up to you. But whatever you do, please make sure that everything that goes into the food bowl consists of ingredients fit for human consumption. You're going to so much effort and trouble to do right for your dog that it would be a shame to sabotage your efforts by using foods with salvage ingredients.
Question: What dosage of Omega 3 supplements is appropriate for young women? I just purchased an Omega-3 supplement, made by Truly (I believe store brands are just as good as the original, and the bottle guarantees that the fish oils used are from Meg-3 Brand fish oil concentrate; which seems like a refutable company). I am now having a few concerns about the proper dosage, and whether or not I should be taking these in conjunction with an Omega 6 supplement?
I have been looking into taking Omega supplements because the health benefits seem to be vast, but in particular because I am worried about memory loss, and I am also bi-polar, which I have heard can also benefit from these fatty acids. Currently the only other medications I take are an anti-depressant called Effexor, and a multivitamin.
The bottle for these "Women's Health Premium Omega-3 Supplements" tell me that they contain 200mg EPA, 100 DHA, 25 GLA and 130 ALA. Is it reasonable, and beneficial to take one a day? The bottle suggests 2 pills 1-3 times a day (a wide range!?), for adults, however this seems like an awful lot to me, especially because I am built quite small, weighing around 110 pounds.
Thanks for listening! Any info or opinions would be appreciated, since there are so many conflicting studies and articles about these recently glorified supplements!
Answer: The average dose is 1 gram, or 1000 mg, per day, per 100 pounds.
If you have pain due to inflammation, you may be okay taking up to twice that dosage, but no higher.
Be aware that our body needs a balance of Omega 3,6,9. Most of us get way too much Omega 6 (largely due to the inclusion of soybean oil in so many products these days). Long-term use of a just one of these isn't recommended because it can throw your balance off. For most folks, taking an Omega-3 supplement for a few months is very safe.
Question: Natural Balance Dog Food/ Various Pet Nutrition.? About one month ago, we picked up our new little puppy from the SPCA. She is a small breed mixed dog. When we went into Pet Co to get her food, we wanted to make sure she was getting quality food- PREFERABLY without a large price tag. One of the people introduced us to Natural Balance Ultra Premium, and are on our second smaller bag now.
I am somewhat concerned now that I have learned that this product was recalled for the rice in the food, as the food we feed her has brown rice listed as the second ingredient. Our puppy is young, and I don't want to be giving her toxic food at a young age.
In addition, I bought some Pet Naturals dog multivitamins. I think this was a good move- as about 15 days into her stay with us, we learned she had tapeworm. I would assume that the multivitamin helped her get nutrients that the tapeworm would have otherwise deprived her of. Her supply is almost finished now, and my question here is, what would be specific benefits of continuing supplementing our puppy with vitamins? Is it recommended that all dogs take multivitamins?
Answer: to the best of my knowledge, its good to give them vitamins because you can correctly measure the amount of intake. you can research how much is appropriate for your dog and go from there. for example a lot of my customers ask for dog food with glucosamine in it (for healthy joints), so i direct them to either science diet (way too expensive, and not the best) or nutro max (my personal choice). or, they can get glucosamine supplements. im pretty sure that taking the supplements AND feeding them food with that supplement in it can cause them to consume way too much of that nutrient in certain cases.
i would continue giving your dog the multivitamins, and consider trying out nutro, its the only thing that helps one of my cats out.
Question: I'm looking for NON-MLM cheaper multivitamins? I've been paying 45 price + shipping for Mannatech Glycentials... I know health is worth investing for but you know, come on!
What are non-MLM multivitamins with optimal MLM doses without MLM premium prices...
Suggestions?
Sorry, natural sources don't have daily optimal doses.
I only eat 3-4 veggies-fruits a day, the multivitamins will help me get the other 2-6.
Besides to get optimal doses of minerals and vitamins, you'd need to eat 20-30 servings of broccoli and oranges. No one on earth would be able to eat that everyday. No one. But the fortressnutrition.net is genius! Top answer for you!
Answer: Want good quality vitamins at great cost (bulk buys are even cheaper ) and US shipping is FREE. go to the following link, if you can't find it contact them and they will help- great customer service

im trying to gain some weight here
and im taking the right stuff?

Answer: Not to worry - i take GNC multivitamins and when I take em my urine becomes flourescent yellow. this is due to the vitamin Bs and Cs... If u notice the box all the quantities are above 100% which means that any excess, the body will get rid of and you won't suffer toxicity if you take the recommended dose.
To gain weight u need to do protein shakes + weights.
