I take a centrum everyday, plus a capsule of fish oil 3 times a day before a meal. The fish oil is good for the heart and cardiovascular system. I've definitely noticed a difference in overall well being, since I've taken the oil.

I've seen many articles about how the vitamins aren't as good as the real thing. But it can't hurt. One problem I've seen often is people who take way too many vitamins a day. I've personally know two people who have taken them beyond normal frequencies. I don't think that's good at all. I heard one instance a few years ago, on tv where a lady had her septic tank cleaned only to find out that there were hundreds of partially dissolved vitamins partially blamed for the cloggage. True story.

I feel your better off just eating correctly, the real, natural vitamins are there. Anything processed, including vitamins will take a toll on the system sooner or later.
