For a multi, I like Source Naturals Advanced One Multiple. I also take Health From the Sun Total EFA daily and Solgar Calcium/Magnesium/Vitamin D. I have recently added Yerba Prima Fiber Plus to my regimen, after I was told that increased fiber intake would help my cholesterol level. I usually drink a couple of Emergen-C's a day, too.

I am currently taking (daily):
1 mg folic acid
3000 mcg biotin
Sometimes I take vitman C. I also need to start some vitamin E, I have just been so busy, it's hard to get down to GNC.
Other than that, I eat 1/2 cup of ground flax every morning for my omega 3, I also drink So Nice unsweetened soy milk, 2 cups a day. If you ever get a chance, it is the best quality soy out there. It doesn't even taste like those powdery soy drinks that are out there. Take a peak at the nutritional info on the back - this stuff is like liquid vitamins.
'Nessa - do you drink soy? If you are LI and want to try soy, I recommend giving this one a whirl. It's loaded with calcium and lotsa stuff - so good for you!
I love soy milk!!

I always take my vitamins with food and plenty of water, most of them I take in the morning. The only one I take in the evening is the other 1500 mcg of biotin (I take 1500 x2/day) because these vitamins are water soluble. Other vitamins that I take, such as vitamin E and folic acid, I take in the morning, all together

vitamins are not a one size fits all routine. for example, fat soluable ones need to be taken literally, in the middle of a meal. otherwise you might as well not be taking it.

The best way to get all of your essential vitamins and minerals is to eat a wide assortment of fruits and vegetables. If you consume meat, limiting red meat (high in Omega 6 fatty acids) intake and including meats that are high in Omega 3 fatty acids such as Salmon. Taking pills certainly is easier than making sure that we eat X amount of fruits and veggies, but in the long run we get better results from the natural sources. HTH

Unless you buy fruit and vegatables that came from areas where soil depletion is a problem.
Then you can just take a mutlivitamen and be done with it.
