Ok This may seem like a stupid question, but I really don't know the answer. If you eat a power bar everyday, is it the same thing as taking a vitamin and mineral supplement? I want to get more magnesium, etc, but when I take a mutlivitamin, I get really dizzy? Would the same thing happen if you ate a power bar everyday?Thanks

Does your multi contain 100% DV of iron? And are your vitamins synthetic or natural? I don't think power bars would have the same effect because the vitamin content isn't usually 100% or over. It may be the pill, I don't know.

I am a huge fan of Promax bars. Started using them when I started working out heavily at 24 hr fitness, they have alot of different flavors there. But then, when I got pregnant, the prenatal vitamins made me throw up, but I could keep eating the promax bars cause they tasted good, and they had lots of vitamins, especially the folic acid I wanted to take. I recommend them for vitamin supplementation, WAY over icky Powerbar chewy gooey.
