Hivita Stress even has twice the amount of B3 than the ones above ie 350mg of Nicotinamide and 50mg of Nicotinic Acid (both forms of B3).

It's actually a great formula and better bang for your buck than the ones above. $28 for 100 tablets.

However, some people can get a 40 minute rash if it's taken on an empty tummy or you've had sweets or alcohol in the preceding hours.

The rash is not an allergic reaction. Moreover, it's just a vasodilatation reaction where extra blood engorges the capillaries for just a little while.

It's a B/Multi as well; like the ones above.

The CEO of Megavitamin Labs (where Hivita Stress is made) is a Chiropractor, Rodney Steventon.

Two pharmacists Bob Little (dec) and myself were consultants back in 1979 to help Rod reformulate Hivita Stress.

Unless one is running short on serotonin, the dose can be just 1 a day after food.

That Flameout formula is really very good if you're over 35 or if it's required for inflammation.

If you're under 35 or if the essential fatty acids are required for ordered brain function then EPA should be higher than DHA imho. Then the Bioceuticals "Ultraclean EPA/DHA Plus" is a fish oil that is well tolerated by people who often can't take a fish oil.

I don't like their Conjugated Linolenic Acid approach however, because not evryone can convert Linolenic Acid to Gamma Linolenic Acid.

I would accompany your essential fatty acid formula with a Evening Primrose Oil with added Vit E oil in it.

What you'd want to happen is for...

Linolenic Acid > Gamma Linolenic Acid (as in Evening Primrose Oil) > Dihomo Gamma Linolenic Acid > Prostaglandin E1 (which when you research or google it, is wonderful).

Hope this helps Nick (&/or others)...

thank you

I'm 30 but do heavy weight training 3 times a week... lots of compound movements, powerlifting, olympic lifting etc plus play basketball so am often sore (not injured or anything just DOMS)... know how beneficial fish oil is but am allergic to fish so looking at other options... currently I don't take anything but have a pretty well rounded diet

looking at one of the multivitamins you suggested plus a fatty acid supplement

Gotta say Terry.. I've been feeling great since taking these. Hard to pinpoint if its JUST that, I've also been eating really well and I've been super disciplined with exercise, but absolutely I feel great. Especially apparent in late afternoons, getting stuff done after work etc.

Good work if you helped formulate it! :thumbsup:

Terry, whats good vitamins for work outs? I dont do heavy liftings or anything (beginners only) , just started gym again but my diet is not as good. I just bought swisse ultivite + natures own ultra fish oil .. I read the tresos-b+selenium , would u recommend it to say, a mild work out like i do?

Yep it's a good formula + Coenzyme Q10 100mg daily to strengthen muscle cell walls + keeping up with protein foods + green/red/orange colored veg as antioxidants that reduce lactic acid buildup

Selenium is a strong antioxidant too, which reduces "free radicals"

I take multi vitamens, dont know if they actually work or not, certainly dont help with gains at the gym.

Also take fish oil for general well being, hoped it would help my memory a little but not sure about that.

Acai berry supplements go well. I dont get any more energy and havent lost weight (not that i need to) but I havent been as sick this summer

Testosterone, probably over use the supplement but I have seen some good results in the gym as of late as far as strength gains

"gains at the gym" can mean muscle mass, reduced lactic acid, stamina, explosive power, maintainence of energy after warm downs, core strength etc

Lots of variables; so will need to know more....

I havent put on any mass, but since taking them about a week ago, I have started lifting a lot more. Not so much power gains but overall strength results are there. I am thinking its the testosterone.

Makes me want to get on the juice

strongest on the market but not recommended for beginners!! you should see 6-13kg of gains after 6 weeks of use apparently

I was thinking bout going for Deca-Durabolin, its slower then Oxandrolone but a good start.

Hard part is where to find reliable sources, cant just buy this stuff at GNC Livewell :P

Without going too far into it, you'll need to use DECA for at the least 10 weeks. Better off if used in a stack TBH.

And without a proper PCT, you stand to lose most of the size anyway. It's as important as a cylce itself.

There is plenty of info around, id suggest a good 2-3 days of reading first.

I didn't respond to those in the Ultivite thread who posted with "no need for vitamins if your diet is good".

I know that my response will be better served here when I say that...

* those who believe that adage, "We are what we eat" have NFI !!!

* the fact is, "we are what we manufacture (or don't) - as well as what we eat, swallow, inhale, absorb and drink".

* our genes also help determine when our 'Use By' date is up

Example A:- If you have a missus who expects a baby, she'll be told to take Iron and Folic Acid.

Folic Acid is Vitamin M. So to those who think vitamins are crap, and tell your missus there's no need to take vitamins, your baby risks (in the womb) developing Spina Bifida

Example B:- Doctors - especially some psychiatrists - who'd rather opt for natural products for their Bipolar Depression patients may prescribe Vitamin B12 and stay off Gluten foods and alcohol.

Example C:- Dudes who think they're bulletproof and think they'll bounce back after ingesting anything from hydro-Pot, methamphetamine, Acid, Smack etc do experience in fact a lovely spike (albeit temporarily) in up to 5 endorphins but soon after it, may default into Phobic Anxiety, Passive-Aggressive Mood Disorder, Clinical Depression, Schizophrenia etc

Example D:- Vitamin B3 Complex can help with GLA in Evening Primrose Oil to produce Prostaglandin E1 and then prevent one type of Premenstrual Syndrome. It can be combined with l-Tryptophan amino acid and produce Serotonin, thus removing the need to take much if at all, SSRI antidepressants, so in many circumstances, it can prevent Anxiety-Depression. It can also be taken each day with oats (with cholestyramine) to prevent Hyperlipidaemia (ie high LDL cholesterol). It can be used with Chromium mineral to prevent Hypoglycemia > Diabetes.

Example E:- Vitamin B6 in conjunction with zinc can prevent another type of Premenstrual Syndrome.

Example F:- Vitamin C along with isoflavones, bioflavonoids and zinc can protect one's immune system from colds. It's even used along with anti-AIDS drugs to prevent HIV from going rogue

Example G:- Vitamin U in laetrile (found in cabbage, apple seeds and apricot kernels) can prevent up to 15 types of cancer. This was taken off the market in 1982 by the Dept of Health due to pressure by a multinational drug company.

Example H:- Ever seen the film "Lorenzo's Oil" about little Lorenzo who had a genetic flaw (as we all do), but his life was about to be cut short; until his Dad researched how to manufacture (via several mistakes) a supplement of oil that kept him alive for another 30 years.

No-one can tell me that supplements and vitamins don't work!

To the dude who said there was no research that they do, Linus Pauling won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on Vitamin C, and right up till to-day, there are people like Dr Robert Buist here in Aust. who have many journals about vitamins/supplements their dosages, when they work and when they don't depending on how they're taken. Buist has a Ph.D in Biochemistry - not a GP who has NFI (and who was fed vertical-thinking baloney at Uni like I was in Pharmacy). Nowadays, I think outside the square.

:)

Hi Mitch,

An active young male experiencing the cut and thrust of life may benefit from a high quality B Complex/Multi with Selenium (which is a good antioxidant that reduces lactic acid and muscle soreness). Someone mentioned earlier in this thread "Tresos B with Selenium" that it's one of the best. I agree.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
