Does anybody else use Sams/Costco, etc vitamins?

I get a lot of my vitamins from Sam's or Costco. Anybody else here? Any quality concerns?

Costco

Costco has some good products. I currently use their Krill Oil and the liquid Glucosamine Chondroitin. All my other supps I use lef.org.

Weak as in dosage?? I was referring more to their single letter vitamins.. e.g. D, B-complex, E, etc.

I use the kirkland multi vitamins from costco. They seem to be pretty decent. I also have a dog who is very very old and couldnt move around, I've been giving her kirkland vitamins, kirkland ibuprofen, and a joint complex I buy from Costco too... Shes up and around now like a young pup!

I don't know. I use the one I mentioned because it takes all the guess work out of my vit/min regimen. The only single vit I take is TJ's timed vit c because it's an excellent anti-catabolic.

i get the fish oil from there

Not sure about the vitamins....but the fish oil is junk...they will do more harm than good...Its cheap, not filtered or poorly filtered, and Id bet oxidized before it is packaged...total garbage.

True that! I use this one. It is the greatest.

I actually get whey protein from Sam's, the E.A.S. brand. Is this stuff crap?

So much to learn

I take the multi vitamin packs from Cosco, and I'm currently taking fish oil from Sams. I also take the EAS protien on occasion. I'm sure there's better out there, but it's reasonably priced and convenient.

I've always wondered that.. where did you come up with that info? Never really knew where to look..

 

[kingpeon]

Just ask them for a cert of analysis

Fish oils

If you use a cheap fish oil it is worse than not using any at all.........it actually will cause oxidation........mercury specifically......dont skimp on that stuff........remember these words.

well, you sure as hell dont look like crap so i think its workin just fine for ya!

Trueprotien.com is a sponsor here and they have some really cool stuff. You can mix all different types of stuff.. they basicly make whatever you want...

Check them out!

EDIT: I thought they were a sponsor here, but i dont see their advertisment, so now im not sure. Still check them out though!

I would add that this applies to all oils used in the diet. Rancid oil will wreak havoc in your entire body. Are we to assume that you recommend Trueprotein for fish oil?

I'm planning on getting them from there next - forgot they started carrying them.. even thought it's been a while haha. I just have an entire bottle extra. Maybe I should chuck them?

Would you all say I'd be fine with the multi, C, B-complex, niacin, E until they run out?

 

[UGAthlete]

Is there a way to tell if these are, in fact, cheap quality? Or is everybody just assuming?

Kingpeon mentioned the certificate of analysis.. has anybody tried this yet?
