I'm trying to find out which vitamins are the best for us guys to take for everyday things, like energy, memory, attention, testerone levels ect.....not really anything actually exercise related. I heard of this one called Androstene Power which is supposed to boost your energy and testosterone levels. Has anyone tried it? What do you guys think are the best ones....at a fairly cheap price, like no more than $20-$25??
The BEST vitamins for MEN?

personally I think, if it advertises all of that its just snake oil... Ive discovered recently that the advertisements of antioxidents zapping free radicals from your body is hogwash
you need vitamins to cause the reactions necessary for energy, memory, but they should come from a variety of food sources because of the helper enzymes called isoflavanoids. There are 10,000 enzymes in a tomato. I dont think a pill is going to have all that.
eat food, and take a vitamin as an "insurance" in case you missed something. if you are male make sure it has no iron in it... you get plenty in the meat, etc you eat
I just use the Mega Mens from GNC

xyzzy is right, food is the best thing there is...but yeah GNC mega mens are really good, but don't take syntetic vitamins such as centrum, cuz their absorbtion is low.

So no centrum? Just take the stand alone versions of each vitamin, like E and B,right? Yeah, I hear you on the food part. Maybe thats what has been getting me down lately though. I am Brazilian, and in Brazil I would eat steaks, rice, beans,pasta,and salads nearly everyday....it was just part of life. Now I am going to college here in the US, and I just can't seem to find any "GOOD" food here. I mean good as in nutrients....all I see everywhere are fast-food joints. If I want to get good food, I have to dish out atleast $12 bucks at a restaraunt,and I can't do that all the time($$$). The only cheap alternative is Chinese food, but even that is not really good for you if eaten every day. This is why I am looking for a vitamin supplement that will boost my energy levels and balance out the chemicals in my head again like they were in Brazil, because the food is just making it worse!
It doesn't matter how good-looking you are, how romantic you are, how funny you are... or anything else. If she doesn't have something INVESTED in you and the relationship, preferably quite a LOT invested, she'll dump you, without even the slightest hesitation, as soon as someone a little more "interesting" comes along.

welcome to America, the land of fries and home of the drive through. would you like to try our special 64 oz chocolate trans fatty shake?
yeah cook and eat in if at all possible, pack a lunch. drinking cold ice-water will give you energy and you can take that with you.
otherwise I hear you, its tough being on the go and trying to avoid fast food here. McDonalds and such are taking steps, like using Canola oil and cutting out the fat, but its too little too late in my opinion

yeah man just cook your food, eat a ton of it, and if you can get some GNC mega men vitamins, the other kind...i think they're like GNC ultra green or something are good but have too much iron in it.
