Swisse Men's Ultivite Formula 1

[Guest Close XitemeM]

Hi all, I bought this multivitamin, mineral & antioxidant with herbs tablets on the weekend and thought it might be of interest here. It seems to have many good ingredients in it.

There's a few things that are not in them like L-Arginine and some other things mentioned in the Supplements Article, but I was impressed enough to buy them.

I got them from the supermarket (Coles) for $25. My main interests were Zinc, Ginko, Ginseng and Saw Palmetto, so when I saw these tablets had those plus even green tea and all the rest I grabbed them.

Pictures attached.

How's the multivitamin going? This is my normal multi. I take it when I feel stressed lol

Well I just ran out this week and my wife picked up another 4 months supply on special. I think it's going well. My energy levels do feel better, and I hardly ever used to get morning wood, but now I do. Morning wood could also be attributed to the exercises though.

One thing I'm unsure of is Saw Palmetto as I understand it inhibits the production of DHT. I tell myself that it's all in the right balance though. I'm also taking 2000mg omega 3 fish oil. There's another brand of multivitamin, Nature's Own, that has many of the same ingredients but only 50mg Saw Palmetto. I haven't compared everything else in it yet. I also want to find some L-Arginine, and nettle root.

So you find it works well for you ecentrik?

I haven't been taking it specifically for PE, but yeah works well. I feel less stressed, more energy to go.
I take a break after about 5 days and have 2 days off the vitamins, call me paranoid but I do believe some of the ingredients in there could build up and aren't particularly good for you in big amounts. Some people would beg to differ though. (Besides, I like a few days when my piss isn't a radioactive green!)

It's got some great ingredients Xitemem, like Damiana & Billberry. Looks like a good quality product.

The price of that other one was good too vulcan. But my wife got 4 months supply of the Swisse for $35, which is cheap, at least in Aus.

Okay here is the ingredients list of the Nature's Own one:

4 of the 5 G's I think, and you can eat garlic in your food anyway.

ecentrik, I haven't had green piss , only radioactive yellow for me I'll consider the idea of off days from vitamins a bit more. I know you have to watch your selenium intake.

With alllll that stuff in it, i'd expect the tablet to be the size of a large gumball

Yeah tried Swisse when bought two bottles at Discount Vitamins at $16 each and also a member of GNC they sell saw palmetto and others that I currently buy. I now found another good source of supply body building store I discuss few things with the guys there and get o discover amazing new products perhaps not at competitive prices but then again I can always look up on the net.
Recently I have taken on body building so it is necessary for me to take on supplements.

Hehe. It's not too bad actually. The omega 3 capsules are worse. I can really feel that sucker going down.

Horny Goats Weed is a good libido enhancer a bit bitter to taste and swallow then again I use it to PE and wearing the extender
Omega3 or fish oils is a waste of time you better off eating the proper stuff

If I had the choice I'd remove saw palmetto from the Swisse mix because of its inhibitor role on DHT production. I certainly wouldn't buy it on its own. I thought it was a good thing at first because it's the main ingredient on prostate health tablets, but an article kingpole posted made me think otherwise.

Good point of the HGW. There's only so much I feel I can justify spending on supplements though.

You really think omega 3 tablets are a waste of time? I'm not just taking it for my dick. I'd be hard pressed to eat an actual fish each day, and I'm concerned also about heavy metals build up from eating a lot of fish meat. There's a lot of positive hype about omega 3. I do wonder sometimes though how they get all that fish oil. I bet it's not too pleasant.

Yes is all marketing stuff I' m seen at the hospital every three months and all docs say to me You have to take about 12-20 capsules a day to have an effect on you. Who would want to take that amount of large caps like that on a daily basis?Not me mate not me!
