Answer: The philosophy on multi vitamins is that if ur not getting enough vitamins from ut diet, supplement with a multi vitamin. But on the other hand you may put strain on ur kidneys from getting too much vitamins iin ur diet. Any multi vitamin woul be just fin I would think. If ur working out or something you would have to be more picky on which multi you buy. But since ur not U can get whatever you want.

Is there any multivitamins you reccomend I supplement with? Would it be okay to supplement with those that require you to be 18? If not why? Thanks for your help..

Answer: Which ones are you talking about. You do not need a multi unless you are dieting and not getting enough vitamins and minerals from your diet OR if you have a vitamin/mineral deficiency. If you have a normal diet, you are probably getting every vitamin you need from the foods you eat.

Question: Will taking three multivitamins in a day cause serious problems? I take a vitamin every morning. Then I take some medicine mid afternoon. Well My vitamins and my medicine were switched and I accidentally took two more multivitamins instead of my medicine. There is no warning but It cant be good to have that many of any vitamin in your system. If anyone knows anything please tell me. I need to know if I need to buy epicath or something to puke it out. Please no rude comments, I looked online and I cant find anything about it.

Answer: three mutivtamins wont hurt you your body just wont need them so you'll poop them out (sorry if that sounds wierd ) but if you take like six or seven a day you'll definitely have problems GOOD LUCK! hope you dont start feeling sick

Question: How long can you survive with only water and multivitamins? So you can live about 4-6 weeks without food, but only 10 days shaded without water. Although technically not food but still the most important nutrients, how long can you survive with only water and multivitamins?

Answer: No, not even close. When it runs out of calories from your diet your body will attempt to metabolize your body fat and muscle tissue. This will create toxins which will destroy your liver and poison you. You can last 3-4 days without water and about 7-10 days without food. The 4-6 week figure is a bread and water diet for hunger strikers, not a period without food.

Question: What would happen if I took an entire bottle of multivitamins at once? Not that I'm planning on doing it, but one does wonder. This is one of those multivitamins that gives 100% of pretty much everything with about 36 in the bottle. Would I die? Would I pee orange for a year? What would happen?

Answer: you can become sick from taking too much of vitamins that are fat soluble such as vitamin A, D and E. the symptoms of vitamin A, D and E toxicity are things such as vomiting, dizziness, excessive production of urine, weakness, and in some cases kidney failure...Deaths from vitamins A,D and E toxicity dont happen very often..

Question: How can i tell multivitamins are working? I've recently started taking multivitamins again but can't tell the difference from when i was on them and when i was off them. How long does it take to reap the benefits? How can i tell they're working? Is there a brand better than the rest?

Answer: Most reputable brand of multis have a high potency of b vitamins (Solaray, Swiss) .Your urine will be a bright yellow colour, this means that your body is absorbing and utilizing the vitamin b vitamins and disposing of what ti doesn't require. As for the other minerals and vitamins in the tablet, you have no surefire way of know whether or not they are working, but if the B's are then it would be safe to assume that the others are working as well

Question: Will the absorption of multivitamins & minerals be reduced after eating physillium husk? I read that the effectiveness of medication will be reduced if is taken within 2 hours after eating physillium husk. What about multivitamins & minerals. I've been taking the husk daily for 3 months now.

Answer: Yes, it will. Any type of fiber suppliment will do that. Fiber works to move your stomach contents through your body quicker, so that you don't absord as much fat & what-not. Because of this, it also works the same way with meds & vitamins, causing them to move through you quicker and you not fully absorbing them as well.

Question: What are the benefits of taking Multivitamins? I just started taking Centrum Multivitamins a few days ago to boost my immune system, I work in a Hospital so I deal with alot of sick people and I have been catching colds and whatnot pretty easy lately so I decided to try the multivitamins. I have a good diet, drink plenty water, eat fruits, grilled chicken, I exercise regularly so I keep in shape. Im just curious to what other benefits taking multivitamins has other then helping with your immune system?

Answer: Most people these days live off fast food and don't eat a balanced diet. They need the nutrients they are not getting through their diet. People who don't eat dairy need calcium, people who don't eat red meat need iron. People who don't go outside in the sunlight lack Vitamin D. Vitamins are a supplement to your regular diet.

Question: Do multivitamins work or is just a scamm? I don't really eat balanced meals so i was considering talking multivitamins instead. Do they really work?

Answer: Yes they do work but are not a substitute for a healthy diet. Buy a good quality brand as most cheap ones are too full of fillers etc to be effective.

Question: What's the difference between these multivitamins? What's the difference between "One a Day Multivitamins: Women" and "One a Day Multivitamins: Prenatal"? If you were ever in a situation where you were out of your usual prenatal multivitamins, would it be safe to take One a Day Multi-Vitamines for Women? There's no warning on the label. This is hypothetical.

Answer: regular multivitamins are good enogh for just you but if your pregnant you need vitamins for TWO so i would choose the prental vitamins such as 'pregnacare plus' they have great vitamins for you AND baby and have a high folicacid percentage which is vitall and also they have additional vitamins for your breast milk :) best of luck!

Question: Multivitamins are starting to brown is that normal? I bought these chewy multivitamins from wal-mart 2 weeks ago and just recently they're starting to brown. Is this normal?

Answer: Yeah. They'll lose their natural color over time. Don't worry though, they won't be harmful and will still be as potent.

Question: How often should you take multivitamins like Centrum? I think I may have heard that taking multivitamins every other day is more optimal than taking the vitamins every day. Does anyone have factual knowledge on this?

Answer: As long as you are eating a balanced diet, you shouldn't really need a multivitamin. Multivitamins are to supplement minerals and vitamins that are missing out of your diet. Most likely the "every other day" advice you have heard is because your diet is sufficient and you don't need to repelenish everyday. Whether or not that is "optimal" I have no clue. (Your body will just eliminate/pee out whatever is in excess. However, you should be careful of fat soluble vitamins that the body holds on to longer...vitamins A, D, E, and K. Over ingestion of these may have adverse effects.)
