AND tumblnstar, I don't know if you're correct on the multi-vitamins or not. I have no documentation only that I take one everyday and I can tell in my energy level if I haven't taken any for a few days. Now I never miss, so I know they are working for me. Why do Drs., mine for one, recommend them if they don't work? Just curious.
(also, I've seen my septic being emptied and I've never seen a vitamin in it??? LOLOL

It is true that a lot of multivitamins aren't absorbed - and that if you see "1333% Daily Value", you should NOT be taking that one. The good ones will have right around 100%. Vitamins (last I checked) are not regulated or monitored by the FDA, so they're not tested for how well the work or don't work. But not all multivitamins are not absorbed. one thing I do know is that over time, if you're taking a vitamin that has 3000% of RDA, that can't be good for your body.

I too notice a difference in my energy levels if I don't take my vitamins. I know the Centrum A-Z are good ones.. and I take the GNC Women's Ultra Mega (I KNOW something is being absorbed because if I don't drink enough water, my pee turns BRIGHT neon yellow, lol)
