I know for a fact that I'm not getting all my micronutrients as I'm cutting and will 100% miss out on a lot of nutrition when I try to get my last 5-6 lbs. Anyone got any recommended multi-vitamins (tested for efficacy)?

Also, does anyone seem to get more acne while cutting down weight?

Just get one thats made in the same country you are in. (Shipping reasons). Also if you want one you DON'T have to eat food with, get one that says "BIOACTIVE" on the label. It means they already added the "fat soluble" part to the vitamin. From there, honestly, they are all the same for the most part but don't buy a cheap one from like Walmart or places that make their own lines because they have no idea what they are doing. Go to a vitamin shoppe or supplement store specifically and look up reviews and get a trusted brand from them.

Also, if you are cutting dont forget you dont need to cut more than 200-250 calories A DAY to get the best bang for your buck. Feels slower but it's smarter and healthier than a giant 1000 calorie cut. When you cut way too much your body WILL adjust to that and as you lose strength your metabolism adjusts to a lower number as well. If you only have a small time frame to cut for something then keep that in mind for next time because you should've been cutting for a while.

If you are thinking multi-vitamins for cutting, or for gaining at the gym, I strongly suggest that you think about good diet and working out correctly at the gym (ie: high intensity medium weight no BS training, looking at the mirror every set like a total idiot).

Think about this:

95% of people at the gym won't achieve anything near good body. They only look at the mirror and admire their body that is subpar.
50% (at least) of the dream bodies are on some sort of gear, whether hardcore or the wimpier looking ones that are really nice are probably on sarms.

90% of all shitty are taking protein and supplements thinking that these things will affect them greatly, instead of pounding a good workout at the gym.

If you want to lean out, try this:
- tell yourself I want to lose 5-6lbs and keep it off.
- my natural body genetics tells me I should be fatter
- I need lose weight while improving my health.

1. cut out sugary drinks
2. cut out carbs 50%
3. don't eat carbs at night


Acne could be a genetic thing and/or you are young and your body is still changing (happens even till late 20s and early 30s). Cutting down should not have acne, unless you are on some kind of gear. In that case, you can't do anything really about it. (I know, because my friends are IFBB and gear srsly fux with your body).
If you are cutting and getting acne suddenly on cutting (when you don't normally have acne), either:

1. Your body is having unhealthy reaction to something (like you eating too much greasy food, taking some weird supplements), or not sleeping enough/drinking enough water, showering (if it's on your back/body, you taking something or you're basically out of luck).
2. You need to fix your diet, eliminate more sugar, greasy crap.
3. Genetics.

If you want to have maximum gains, focus more on quality of training, if you are trying to cut, minimize sugar and carbs, and minimal carbs at night, focus on crazy intensity instead of huge weights (which everyone should be focusing on anyways, unless trying to up their base strength). Maximize your gym time by using rest time with another exercise, just be a monster at the gym, don't focus on "I want to lift heavy and look strong, but I want to maximize and train like a winner".

Your body has a baseline for it's shape according to your workout routine, nutrition (ie calories, in this case as the most important). You can screw around with your normal body shape with gear (don't do it unless you want to) - ie hardcore, sarms.

If you really want to take multivitamins, the best is to go cheapest brand multi-vitamin and cut them in half (The RDA bs is all bs really, if you know about it).

My background:
- gym bum 20 yrs, sarms pill maker for myself and friends, and others my IFBB friends sell to (yes, I buy the raw ingredients and make the pills myself, and sell at cost to everyone around me, maybe a little profit, the IFBB guys sell to their students and make $$$).
- family members are doctors/pharmacists
- uncles work for pharma companies manfuacturing this crap (manufacturer for nutrient supplement labels selling all that crap you see in the stores)
