What do you recommend in regards to protein?
What do you recommend for children ages 5 - 10 years old? This gummy bear stuff is catchy, but I wonder.

Sounds good to me, now that all my knee surgery is done I plan on hitting the gym properly again.This would be great as a new thread so it doesn't get lost in the mix. I'll sticky it. There is also a sticky about supplements already up there.

Great stuff here. I was in the market for a new multi. I have been using One-A-Day for years, sams club fish oils, and every once in a while GNC shark cartilage (not sure if it really did anything). I am 6'1 270, lift weights on a regular basis, run 3 miles 2 days a week and take spinning classes the other 3 days. I have torn ligaments in my ankles and knees and have deteriorating vertebrea and a pinched sciatic nerve in my lower back. Needless to say my joints take a beating (working out and stretching seems to be the only thing that helps my back). I know losing a few pounds would be the best, I could probably get down to 245 and still look healthy, but I just love eating too much. Would you recommend something along the lines of the Orange Triad for someone in my shoes or would you choose another multi? Also would you recommend taking fish oils as well as taking these multis?

I'll chime in real quick before Illa breaks it down.
My boys wrestle and in the off season we put them in competitive gymnastics so they are beaten up pretty bad. The one thing my wife and I did was just shove as much food in them as possible. Good foods and some bad foods too. We don't give them multi but we do give them fish oils with higher EFA's. My youngest has be diagnosed borderline autistic, he's 5 now. My brother is a autism researcher at Stanford and has talked about fish oils and brain development and both boys have been on fish oils for over a year. The best news was we were told that our 5 year old CAN be in regular kindergarten next school year and do not consider him borderline anymore. Was it part of the fish oils? Special schools we paid for? Or just maturity? Who knows but I stand by the use of fish oils and healthy diet.
But I think just having the little ones take something will create a habit of healthy choices.

My top 3 picks:
1) AOR Orthocore
2) Controlled Labs Orange Triad
3) Gaspari Nutrition Anavite
So, assuming for the sake of argument that I decide to take vitamin advice I read on a web forum from some anonymous guy (presumably) whom I’ve never met and about whom I know nothing. Where would I be able to buy, or at least look at, these products?
Amazon.com
Bodybuilding.com

Nutraplanet.com is my go to
I used them for awhile until they told me that they had no quality control in place to check their raws. Which is utterly disgusting and highly illegal. They "got into compliance" after GMP was mandated. Sam Hong the owner cares little about the people that helped him along the way.
Kind of not surprising to hear. I've been an AM member for many years, and NP has always treated me well, but I've seen some things happen on the board that I don't like. I only visit the forum on occasion to read input on products and see what's new. I'm wondering if what you said has anything to do with the disappearance of their protein line? I've tried to switch shops before, but always come back.
I use Country Life co-enzymated B-complex caps. It has a nice supply of active forms of B vitamins and is very cost effective as I only use one per day, not two.
My multi-mineral is Life Extension (LEF) "Only Trace Minerals" and I take a seperate selenium supplement, LEF "Super Selenium Complex".
I also take Healthy Origins Vit.D and LEF Vit.C seperately.
So, I get mostly active, ready for use B vitamins and excellent, usable forms of trace minerals and I take 200-400mcg selenium per day (LEF's product is the only one to provide all 4 usable forms of selenium) in addition to the 5,000IU Vit D and 1g Vit C.
I have also started munching on a few bitter apricot kernels every day. These contain something called amygdalin.
