how often should i take multi vitamins during the week?

Question

I work out on a regular basis. I drink protein shakes after my workouts. I used natural supplements and I have pretty good lifts. I know that if you use multi vitamins everyday after a while your body just stores what's needed and the rest gets thrown out! How often then should I use a multi vitamin for the best overall effect?

Answer 1

ONCE PER DAY, THE EXCESS WATER SOLUBLE IS FLUSHED OUT WITH THE URINE AND THE LEVELS OF TE VITAMINS STORED IN FAT ARE SAFE IF TAKE IN APPROPRIATE AMOUNTS.

Answer 2

Vitamin pills should be taken as a precaution. Just in case some things are missing in your diet. Protein shakes often contain vitamin supplements...

You really should concentrate on getting a well balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Also lean meat, fish and chicken; nuts and beans. If your diet is good and your health is good, you probably do not need any extra vitamins. Unless you are over 50... in which case maybe every other day.
If you are a "youngster" take one or 2 a week.

On the other hand if you are living on protein shakes and fast food ... take every day!!!

Answer 3

Most multivitamins, even a good quality natural vitamin, don't have much more than a daily RDA of vitamins and minerals in them. If you're active you'll need slightly more than the RDA of some vitamins and minerals anyway, such as the B-vitamins, zinc, and magnesium.

For most people it's best to take a multivitamin/mineral daily combined with a healthy, varied diet.
