Gender:  | So maybe it would fall under the deficiency category. I never considered that.  |

Gender:  | After a few days, I always feel a steady stream of energy when I get the Beverly International packs. At $1 per day, well worth it. Not placebo because I don't "look" for anything. I'm always subtly aware after a couple of days that I wake up easier and am more refreshed throughout the day. |

Gender: | I think those are pretty good also. I haven't tried them, but I looked over them when I was researching vitamin packs. They are one of the most cost effective "vitamins" when you compare them to other products that are as comprehensive. |

Gender: | I think I can tell a marked difference in my day when I have taken a multi-vitamin and when I have not. Not that it is the difference between a great day and a horrible day, but I can tell if I forget. Maybe I have some kind of vitamin deficiency that a multi-vitamin helps to overcome? Who knows. Hell, it could be placebo effect, only like Darkhorse said, I don't expect anything out of it. It is something I noticed rather after the fact. I had been taking multi-vitamins for a while and then I missed a few days and felt kinda run down, etc. Could be coincidence, but like clock work it happens if I stop taking them. I will also say that I can't feel the difference between one brand or another. It isn't that I feel one is superior to another and I tend towards something cheap for the most part. I tried something like Animal Pack and it doesn't do me any more good than GNC or even Rite Aid brand. But without any I can feel it. |

That being said I am sure certain aspects of these packs are overkill, but after seeing how much money people waste on questionable supplements I could never figure out why they skimp on multivitamins. | |

| Multivitamins There are a lot of proven advantages to taking multivitamins for people that have high nutritional needs. Such as people working out 5+ times a week or pregnant women. A lot of the confusion comes from the fact that much of research is focused on normal needs. If you eat a lot of vegetables you also probably don't need a multivitamin, but I found most people don't.

I can tell a huge difference on Saturday & Sunday mornings depending on how much I drank the night before and how many vitamins I took. 
I used to get hangovers that lasted for days. Now if I take a multi before drinking, right after, and the next morning, it's not nearly as bad. That's the only time I've ever seen a difference.
