Whether it’s a physically demanding job or a daily gym trip – if you’re active (which you should be), a multivitamin specifically designed to keep energy levels high and feed your muscles will help you maintain fitness.
Plus, active men often need more nutrients to stay healthy than diet alone can provide.
There are a lot of gimmicks out there, so let’s take a look at some of the best multi-vitamin bangs for your buck (and your body).
1. Opti-Men
This Optimum Nutrition product is one of the most popular multis for active men – and for good reason.
It’s got all the staples of health for guys on the go—Vitamin D for healthy bones and muscles, amino acids for building muscle, and B vitamins that help with energy and optimum nutrient absorption.
That’s all great, but it’s also packed with the recommended daily values (DV) of stuff you need to stay healthy in your everyday life—so if your diet gets derailed now and then, your body can keep running strong. Its high-quality ingredients range from Vitamin E for skin health to Vitamin C for a daily immune boost.
This product has got you covered whether you’re a gym rat, a body-builder, or a long-distance runner.
The downside? You do have to take three pills a day to get the correct daily dose, which may be no biggie for fitness freaks but a bit high-maintenance for busy (or forgetful) men.
2. GNC Mega Men Sport
This top-selling GNC product is specially designed for weightlifters and gym enthusiasts, although its ingredients would be great for athletes too.
It has a novel’s worth of vitamins and minerals, but the gist is this: With 100 percent DV or more of energy-boosters like B vitamins and taurine, it’s bound to put some pep in your step pre-workout.
It’s also full of crucial muscle-building and repairing ingredients, like amino acids and calcium.
In and out of the gym, this one’s a win: its ingredients are optimized for men’s health concerns like prostate health and joint maintenance. And it’s full of the stuff everybody needs but nobody has time to take care of constantly: namely, magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, and other building blocks of a healthy diet.
This vitamin only requires two pills daily, too, and they can be taken together or separately. Its range of sport-oriented ingredients put it on the pricey side, though, so those who are more walkers than weight-lifters can save a lot of money by going with Opt-Men or a general men’s daily multi.
