Hey guys,

I have been really busy lately so I havnt posted a lot on the forums but I was just wondering if its o.k to take 1 tablet instead of the recommended 2 tablets of GNC Mega Man Multi. I workout in the morning about 30 minutes after breakfast and the work I do is all physical labor for 4-9 hours a day depending on my schedule. I dont eat a whole lot of fruit and vegetables but I try to. Is this 1 tablet enough or do you think I should start taking another one after or with my dinner because of my active lifestyle. \

Thanks
 
IMHO, if you are stressing out your body, you need to take two. For me, I know one tab is not enough.
 
Yeah, better safe than sorry! I usually take solgar which are pretty potent but if I cant get them I usually take two of those 'one-a-day' vits to tide me over till I get the stronger ones
 
If I was working manual labor and sweating all day, I would dose probably 3 or 4 times a day.
 
Are we talking about regular multi-vitamins? What benefits have you seen by taking more than one a day? I've always been wary of taking more than one because of toxicity concerns, but I'll check the dosages of the individual vitamins in my multi-vitamin. Maybe it will help me to take two because I get really run-down sometimes.
 
if its the ingredients you need tony ill give you the exact list off of GNCs website... once again theyre GNC Mega Men Multiple Vits

As a dietary supplement, take two tablets daily with food.
