I take vitamins in the morning when I'm dry. I take them in the evening when I dive. they taste BAD underwater.

Vitamin C has tons of benefits. I've been taking 3000mg C daily for years, and my yearly checkups are always great. I had a little higher than norm Cholesterol and Triglycerides a couple of years ago, and started taking fish oil. Now that's back in check, and I really haven't changed my diet much at all. Never underestimate the power of nutritional supplements, but do research and know what you're taking and why.

Gotta love those vitamins, Just started taking a multi-vitamin about a year ago and I feel a little bit more energetic in the mornings and not so tired at night. Never thought they could help you with diving though? Good to know.

I usually take a vacation from my vitamins (on vacation) because I don't want to have to explain what all these pills are to the customs agent, BUT now that I know this I will take the stuff with me.

Good point!

Supplements are good, but I really think a balanced diet is probably better in the long run, But that is VERY VERY hard to do, so we are back to supplements.

I've been taking a daily multivit out of habit, but don't know if any physiological effects could really be noticed. I've had good and bad days after diving regardless...

I take vitamins and thought that I was wasting my money and creating expensive pee so I quit taking them In about 1 week I started feeling yucky. went back to vitamins and felt much better. i have also had a bad day at work and felt 'off ' all day got home and realized that I had not taken my vitamins. so for me vitamins are helpful

There's a multi-vitamin sold at Walmart called "One Source-Mens Formula" which has green tea extract in it.

Does anyone have an opinion on the effectiveness of Ester C? Thank you.
