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)

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.

That's why you get the energy (well... one part )! B12 is a great source of energy. I'm deficient in B12 because I don't eat enough red meat - so that's one of the main reasons I take vitamins.

LOL I honestly think that Oprah has gotten to big for her britches so to speak. Yes, she has done a lot of good but I think she like to toot her own horn to much. LOL I have never been a fan of hers.

My hubby feels the EXACT same way you do. He always tells me how Oprah thinks she is the sh*t and how he doesn't like her.

I take some vitamins called Mannatech. They're expensive but I do feel better. I also take some other over the counter vitamins.
