This maybe a dumb question But I have to ask. I started taking Mega Men Multivitamin (I take it with food as directed, usually a large meal) and I noticed a few hrs later I almost always feel tired and lazy, Then I'll have to fight through my workouts. On days I went without taking I feel fine and my usual energy is there. Its possible that the cause could be the combination of food that I eat with the vitamin or maybe Im taking it at the wrong time? It could all just be in my head. I did a search and couldnt find anything similar. Anyone with an idea?

 

haven't had that problem when i've taken megmen what type of foods are you eating with it?

 

^Usually either a large Roast Beef sandiwich from quiznos with water, or some carribean food like oxtail and rice or jerked chicken. Something most likely to fill me up

 

Multivitamins really shouldn't make you sleepy.... could it be something else? Most people take their multi in the morning and I've never heard of anyone having energy issues with it. Could it be your sleep pattern? Maybe that you're eating too large of a meal and it's making you sluggish?

 

Nah. I doubt the MegaMan has anything to do with it. I've taken those multivitamins for over a year and no negative side effects at all. If you want a little boost pre-workout, perhaps try some caffeine or other supplements.

 

your eating patterns seem fine i guess, like she-l-s said, your sleeping patterns, stress at work? i mean could be a few other things but i doubt it's a side effect of the multivitamin

maybe try NOXPLODE if you're feeling sluggish during your workouts...

 

the only side-effect ive noticed with mega men multivitamins is my urine turns bright yellow, like glow in the dark yellow...i never feel tired or sluggish...maybe try a different MV?

 

What are you eating for breakfast?
Although they are tasty and convienent, Quiznos aren't nutritious.

 

I would like to think I get enough sleep, but I suppose some nights I get less than I should. Especially since I work at 6am and go straight to school in the evenings. I dont reach the gym until 10pm. I DO have energy whenever Im NOT taking the vitamin, thats why I found it to be strange. But it could be just be coincidental. I'm trying to gain weight so I pretty much stuff myself with anything heavy, which is why I eat quiznos. Its been working for me so far but school has slowed my progress a little bit. Looks like Im the only one with this problem lol

 

To gain weight you want to eat more protein, not fat. Try taking a high protein weight gain powder. As you gain muscle mass, your weight will go up. But with a high fat intake, the fat will hide your muscle gains and you won't look cut.

 

^thanks but im not really concerned with looking cut. I've been skinny all my life, my goal is size first, then cut down. Thats why I pack in all the fat
