Question Women Multivitamins

Ladies,
I am looking for some multivitamins to fill the gaps in my diet and make me a little bit stronger. I am a college basketball player so going with the multivitamins is the safest route for not loosing the scholarship.
Right now I am lifting 3 times a week plus planning on incorporating cardio 3 times a week as well. Soon, however, I am going to increase the cardio and will add bball workouts.
Is there a way of choosing the right multivitamins? or any would do?
all the comments and suggestions are welcome.

I just use Viactive (the chews) because I can't stand the taste of vitamins. I also take extra calcium on top of that.

I'm not sure I like your attitude today

When you can start naming things I can't do, due to age - I'll start entertaining your comments.

I usually don't recommend GNC for anything but they make a great multi-vitamin. Here is a link to their womens multi. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp...316&cp=2618597

Not really sure you would want to focus on the multivitamin aspect as much. Yea, they're ok to have, but I think you'd want to focus more on supplements like taurine, citrulline malate, bcaa's, etc. Stuff that will help give you a boost in energy and help speed up recovery time.

Thanks Bouncer, I was actually looking at this one, but I am not a GNC fan either so I wasn't sure if that would be any good.

I am just afraid that the supplements I would use would end up on the banned list for the NCAA. I cannot risk it, so I try to play it very safe.

Well I'm sure your eyesight was better when you were younger - I'm sure you could fit in a toddlers size 9 shoe at some point and can't now - I'm sure your knee didn't "squeek/creak" when you were younger and on and on and on ...

Not at all - she's a gorgeous young woman - perfect wouldn't even begin to accurately describe her...

She just has some "old" issues that allow me to pick on her since she's touchy about it ....

Hmm - my vision has been crap since I was 12, and my knees have been messed up since HS cheerleading -- you were far too young for me back then anyway

Besides - you have far more ailments than I do!

Yeah but all of my ailments come from you being so far away!!!

Anyways - back to topic - Centrum Silver seems to work great for FB so I'm sure it will do the trick for you too Mag ....

Hey Bouncer, I just got those multi's.
They say that I should take two a day, is there any difference if I would take two of them in the morning or should I split it and take one in the morning and one in the afternoon?

you would want to split them up.

i have the mens sport version of the GNC vitamins. i actually only take 1 in the morning. i dont feel that i need 2 because my diet provides many vitamins and such. if you are eating good, i would only take 1 in the morning. too many vitamins can be a bad thing.
