What do people think of Source Naturals Life Force Multiple, iron free version?
Sure the vitamin A is a little high but not too bad. My concern is the vitamin E being d-alpha-tocopheryl at about 165mg. Sure there's 67mg of the gamma-vit E complex but is this the proper ratio? It also has the tocotrienol complex at 10mg. 35mg of niacinamide may be a concern. But for the most part it appears to use more bioavailable forms like methylcobalamin. And of course I'd use supplemental D3 at 2000 or maybe 4000IUs. It seems pretty good for a $10 a month multi.

Or what about MHP Activite Sport? I'd probably only dose at 2 tabs per day.
http://www.bodybuild...re/mhp/act.html Would one be better than the otehr. The MHP one uses more chelates which seem to have higher bioavailability?
I could also do the ACE+b-complex route using Jarrow's line but that comes out to the price of Orthocore, so I'd probably just opt for the latter.
