I see all kinds of multi-vitamins, some very expensive, others less so. My doctor told me that if I want to take one not to spend too much as most of it just goes thru your system and you urinate it out of your system (very yellow urine). In fact he said that Centrum is fine compared to some that you see at the vitamin specialty stores. It seems some doctors say go ahead if it makes you feel better, others say it's a waste of money as 98% is excreted.

Also can you take multi-vitamins on an empty stomach? I thought someone said you're wasting them if you don't take them with food and a full glass of water.

Thanks.

I use to take Centrum and it did not help me at all. Now I take B and C vitamins separate and have been feeling stronger and with more energy ever since. Usually just take 2 a day. There is an interesting discussion on yahoo about centrum http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...6174140AA7Fifg the moderator gives a good detail about why they are no good

Does anyone know what kind of multi vitamin to take when your taking a thyroid suppliment. There is a iodine issue with multi vitamins that have minerals. Some don't have minerals but still may have iodine. I'm looking for one that doesn't have any iodine at all.

Thanks
