What is Opti-Men?

You like to work out hard and take care of yourself–and you want to ensure you’re receiving optimal nutrition from your multivitamin.  You need a multi that will keep up with you, and keep YOU up–and going strong, all day long. 

Opti-Men by Optimum Nutrition brands itself as ”a complete Nutrient Optimization System” that contains over 75 ingredients to provide “a solid foundation for everyday health, performance, and vitality.”

And here’s the thing; it’s not expensive!  You already spend enough on protein powders and pumps, so you need a multivitamin that’s affordable.  Optim-Men may be the one guys–not the evasive “one” that you hope to marry one day–but the multivitamin of your dreams at least.

Opti-Men:

• Contains 75+ active ingredients
• 350+ mg’s B-Complex Vitamins
• Five GENDER-SPECIFIC Blends
• Free-Form AMINO ACIDS
• Botanical Extracts
• Fruit and Vegetable PHYTOCOMPLEX
• Digestive enzymes
• HIGH-POTENCY vitamins & minerals

And Optimum Nutrition is a one-stop body building supplementation company–so you may just want to buy your other supplements there too!

(I know you hate shopping around.)

Opti-Men Ingredients

Opti-Men contains all your vitamins and minerals in incredible dose.  All except for calcium.  I don’t know why supplement companies skimp on such an important nutrient (probably cost), but you receive only 20% of your DV of calcium in Opti-Men. You may not find that important now–but you will later–particularly if you’re an athlete.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the blends in Opti-Men:

• Amino-Blend-amino acids are the “building blocks of life.”  This Amino Blend contains 8 essential free-form amino acids (including Arginine, Glutamine, and BCAAs), for ultimate lean muscle growth.
• Viri-Blend-contains 8 botanicals and marine concentrates including Saw Palmetto, Damiana, Korean Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba for stamina, performance and virility.
• Phyto-Blend-contains over 20 antioxidant-rich ingredients including Green Tea, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Grape Seed Extract and fruit and vegetable concentrates to fight free radical damage, and repair and strengthen cells to combat disease and aging.
• Enzy-Blend-with 4 specific enzymes that help digest and absorb nutrients optimally. 
• Opti-Blend-for all your nutritional needs, containing 25 vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and B-vitamins.

These blends are in pretty high dose–and when added to the huge list of vitamins and minerals, are pretty impressive.  The only problem with “Prop Blends” is the uncertainty of knowing if you’re really receiving effective dosage of individual ingredients like clinically proven Green Tea.

Benefits of Using Opti-Men

• Loaded with an impressive DV of vitamins and minerals
• Comprehensive list of nutritionals to cover all healthcare bases
• Inexpensive at $26.99 (or cheaper) for a 60-day supply
• Money-back guarantee from the official site

Is Opti-Men Safe?

You’ll want to take Opti-Men with food to avoid stomach upset and nausea.  If you have a major health concern, always consult your physician before supplementing.

Is Opti-Men Worth Using?

Yes.  You’ll need to supplement with additional calcium, but overall, Opti-Men is a well-rounded multivitamin for the money, and contains some quality ingredients.  Consumer testimonials from unbiased sites (outside the official site) are all positive–the only grumble was the three-a-day recommended dose.  But you must consider how nutritionally wise this is; most vitamins are water-soluble and breakdown fast, and leftover nutrients leave the body in your urine.

Supplementing during the course of the day replenishes your body with the nutrients you need.

Opti-Men is a smart buy.  And it’ll keep up with you.
