Used to as a kid, but then I stopped.
Since im in the whole gettin' in to shape mindset, I figured a good multivatamin won't hurt.

The best vitamins you can get are from food. Vitamins in pill form aren't even 10% as effective unless you take them with the right foods. If you're eating the right foods why take them?

On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

americans need to slow down anyway.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

I disagree brother

First keep in mind that it is never good to replace a meal with a vitamin

That being said, all foods also have other things associated with them such as sugars, carbohydrates fats of several types etc.
Depending on how active you are, a good multi-vitamin is the perfect supplement to any good diet (Keep in mind, a vitamin is not justification to eat crap all day)

As for type, any solid brand will suffice, and guys should always make sure they are not taking w/ Iron
