You need to take Natural Vitamins which are taken from whole organic food. In other words ones that are not synthetic vitamins. Even though the molecule of a natural vitamin and a synthetic vitamin are identical, only 10% of the synthetic vitamin is absorbed by your body rather than the amount your body needs. An example is the vitamin C, one of the ingredients the synthetic contains is absorbic acid which is only one layer of eight layers that compose the Vitamin C. Why purchase a portion of the vitamins rather than the whole vitamin itself? The whole vitamin C is accompanied by various bioflavonoids which are essential for better absorption. The synthetic also creates toxins in your body as they are not natural chemicals and your liver cannot process them. I would recommend finding a mutivitamin that is natural. Good luck
