No problem bro

If you're referring to daily multivitamins, yes. The non-synthetic multivitamins are the best, and they aren't much more expensive than the synthetics.

Would you recommend animal pak?

[ComradeCarabao]

Animal Pak has been really popular for a long time, but I don't buy anything made by Universal; the reason I'm so biased against Universal's products goes back to when they were promoting plant sterols in the 80s and 90s. I remember not knowing anything about supplements when I first started training, and I bought a Universal product called "GH Max," which contained a lot of different stuff -- including plant sterols. Plant sterols have been proven to be worthless supplements for body building; in addition to that, at least one of them (gamma oryzanol) could actually LOWER your testosterone if taken in high amounts. So their promotion of junk-science supplements makes me not trust anything they make. Thinking about this made me wonder if they were still making products like GH Max; a quick Google search showed me that they STILL make GH Max and something called "Natural Sterol Complex." In 2020, that's unbelievable! They're obviously making money off of naive people new to body building/strength training. The multivitamin I use is called "Alive! MEN'S ENERGY." It's a food-based (non-synthetic) daily multiple made by Nature's Way. However, at your age, you'd be better off taking "Alive! Teen Gummy Multivitamin for Him." I can't emphasize enough how much more effective (and safe) food-based multivitamins are. Good luck, bro.

We went over this 3 weeks ago and you still didn't check into it? Animal Pak vitamins

[George090]

I think I am going to buy them but only if they are suitable for teens

[Iron_Man]

Like I said take one Pack not the two per day. They are better then grocery store Centrum one a day vitamins

[George090]

[Iron_Man]

Consult a doctor. Normally people your age don't take vitamins

[ItsTheNephilim]

Just maintain a healthy diet. Consult a doctor before trying anything.

You are still underage for such things.

Just eat well...
Wheatgrass if you like...

[DamnSam]

No, your body still developing itself... taking vitamins without a dec describing it can cause more damage than good

[DamnSam]

Doc, not dec...

Multivitamins are good enough. If you eat healthy, you don't need much vitamins.
