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)

I take the Centrum "Silver" multi-vitamin...Now that I'm over 50 LOL
Most are all 100% except for the B 12 or something and it's higher, but only like 417%. I'm glad I'm taking the right one.
