Was recently searching for a worthy multi-vitamin alternative to Opti-men when I recently discovered "Orange Triad" made by Controlled Labs and it's worth noting that this product scores a respectable 9.2/10 on bodybuilding.com from 468 reviews!
As the name suggests this product is claimed to support "optimal digestion, the immune system and joint health".
The bottle contains nearly half a kilo of product which is an impressive 270 tabs!
Serving suggestion is 3 tabs, twice daily which will get you 45 days if consistent with your dosage. Personally I'm taking three per day post workout so I plan to get at least 3 months supply out of this purchase. Check the reviews for yourself as this is a quality product at a reasonable price for those of us with busy lifestyles that need a boost to our nutritional intake.
- With the current iHerb site-wide 10% discount the cost is an affordable $45.91 AUD which makes it on par with our local products like Blackmores Men's Performance.

In addition to the above I also picked up a couple of tubs of Gat branded Agmatine Sulphate which comes in quantities of 75gms.
Previous to this I was buying my Agmatine from Bulk Nutrients for a similar price but with only 2/3 the quantity. In my opinion, the fact that this product comes in a tub is a bonus as the serving sizes are so small it makes it a lot easier to manage.
As far as the serving sizes go, they range between 750mg to 1.5g which will depend on a number of different factors. From my experience of using Agmatine on and off for a couple years is that 1gm is an ample serve for noticeable effects and increased pump. I highly recommend the use of micro-scales as this will help you get the most of your purchase and to only use what you need.
For those of us who aren’t familiar with Agmatine Sulphate may perhaps have heard of Arginine and its ability to increase the nitric oxide effect on the body during a workout. Agmatine is a by-product of Arginine’s absorption. In other words, its what the body breaks Arginine down into which explains why a small dosage is required to achieve pronounced effects.
Without confusing the topic further, the two should not be taken together as Arginine will block the path of the Agmatine Sulphate by competing for absorption. I'd even go as far as to recommend that you consider taking it a good 20 mins before your pre-workout should it contain either, arginine, creatine and/or caffeine to allow for better absorption. I've played around with this method and believe me it works though if your in a rush or don't care for the science then just mix it in with your pre-workout powder for minimal fuss.
- The cost of this Agmatine Sulphate 75gm product is currently a very affordable $27.13 AUD which is an awesome price for a retail product here in Australia!

I remember when I used to get this for $35 . $50 is a bit overpriced for a multivitamin
Go with a generic version from iHerb for less than half the price . I've tried the cheaper ones and they are as good
