a question on multivitamins

[rlspencer]

I was wondering if it's okay to take a multivitamin supplement twice a day. I heard taking excessive vitamins is a waste of money and will only get pissed out anyway. Is this true?

Also, what's the best time to take the multivitamin? Mornings? evenings?

Using the search function would be a good start.

If you want my input on this, look at my posts on the following two threads:

You might want to check out the tolerable upper intake levels. Vitamins, like everything else, if taken in excess, can be toxic. Vitamin A is especially bad if you take too much.

However, taking two multi's would probably be safe. Not trying to be an ass, but I think you should just take one and eat better. It'll be more beneficial in the long run.
