    Welcome to boards. :)

    I don't think a multivitamin is a great replacement for proper nutrition. I'd urge you to try to get more fruit and / or veg in. Soup is a good one for that. It's also possible to get a lot of vitamins / minerals in by eating the right type of meat (liver is loaded with, well, loads of things as far as I know).

    Id agree with Khannie, and also a point to remember that many mineral and vits compete in the body for absorption so it's not really a great solution for you, just think of inventive and easy and painless ways of incorporating more variety into your diet.

    For the water soluble ones like b and c your fine, anything surplus will be passed through and your wee will be darker than normal. Fat soluble vits like D can build up in the liver and become toxic , vit D will be in at least two of your supps and as the days get brighter your body will start to produce its own vit D from sunlight.

    cheers

    In Ireland we don't get anywhere near the right amount of Vit D so I would recommend taking alot of that (very good for your bones!) If you're looking for a cheaper berocca Tesco do a B-active vitamin supplement that is pretty much the same thing, if you don't mind supporting tesco
