Is Biotest ever going to make the supermultivit?
I wouldn’t know how, besides what was done with Superfood, we would produce something superior to the best of what’s already available that does the exact same thing as they do, which a multivitamin per se would inherently be doing.
Superfood isn’t intended to provide every single vitamin and mineral but does provide phytonutrients that a multivitamin will not.
I eat a balanced diet and take Animal Pak. I believe it does its job.
Balanced diet+vitamins=no worries.
Ive tried GNC mega mens and AST 32x, and also centrum performance. I ditched taking multi-vitamins because I did not see a difference and my pee was always neon yellow no matter what food I ate before.

Because of the neon color of your urine, you are making wrong assumptioms about the effectivness of your multi.
The neon color of your multi comes from the B vitamin Riboflavin. Its role is to flush out toxins out of your body. The toxins are excreted in your urine in a neon green color. Trust me, keep taking them for at least 3 weeks and your urine will not be neon green anymore.

Anything to back up that claim?
I will say this much, if you ever have the just wonderful experience of having a catheter in for several days after a urethra surgery, you will (hopefully) get prescribed a baldder spasm medication, some of which turn your piss green (or blue if there’s blood), nonetheless it is in fact working, you are not simply pissing away a prescription.
I stopped taking a multivitamin, not because I felt they were useless, but because i take a greens supplement and a vitamin d supplement and eat a healthy diet.

What does bladder spasm medication have to do with Riboflavin?

it’s the same idea- i mean, if i applied the logic from the people who claim that you “piss away money” when multis turn your piss yellow, then i must be pissing away money when bladder spasm medication turns my piss green.

Not necessarily. That’s a big leap to make.
Just because a drug has a certain effect, doesn’t mean that a similar effect from taking a vitamin is due to the same, or even a similar, mechanism.
Hmm, does anyone think a vitamin (or anything taken orally) is supposed to just build up and build up and build up in the body as a result of NOT getting “pissed away”?
Perhaps it may seem surprising but except for whatever small fraction of what is consumed orally that goes to net anabolism, EVERYTHING that is absorbed gets pissed away (or breathed away as CO2 or water vapor, or lost as shed skin or hair.)
For some reason people are shocked at how wasteful it supposedly is that B vitamins are “pissed away.”
I guess it is because they can actually see it happening and have not stopped to think that it damn sure better be pissed away.

i’m not saying that it is, but when you judge whether or not to use something based on what it does to your urine, you can take comfort knowing that changes in your urine do not necessarily reflect a failure in whatever it is you are taking.
it may still be the case that you are in fact, pissing away money, but you don’t have to automatically assume that because of your urine.
I take Super Spectrim w/o iron. It’s a time released multi and supposedly if a multi is not time released you only absorb a tiny amount of what’s in it.
Dave Draper pushes it on his website, it’s $10 a month or so.
I felt better when I started taking it.

I misnamed the first of the two.
The links are:
The Super Booster says not to take with a fiber supplement. Does this mean not to take the softgel and fiber together, or not to use supplemental fiber while taking Super Booster.
Either way, I would love to know why. I’m assuming something to do with how it’s absorbed?
I don’t know their reason, but my guess on it would be the same as yours. Perhaps there is research showing one or more of the nutrients are less well-absorbed in the presence of fiber, but I don’t know.
I don’t at all believe that fiber taken at an entirely separate time, hours different, could make a difference and very much doubt that avoiding that is what they mean.

Bill Roberts?
I have been avoiding taking my supps with fiber, is this an unnecessary avoidance? I stopped with psyllium husks, I just cannot choke that stuff down.
thanks for the heads up on vitamin E
I’ll see what I can turn up on it. It’s not something I’d previously known or presently do.
I think Mr. Roberts is the man. Period.
Thanks Bill.
I think if you have a proper diet you should be all good. A multi is like insurance ya know
