My take on it is that the generic/store-brand multivitamins go for around $6-8 for 300 pills. That is ~2.6 cents per pill/day. Pretty cheap way to potentially ward away future ailments/diseases without any risk (as long as you don't chug down 15 pills).

I heard and seen studies - but I can' place my hand on one to support what I'm saying - that you have to be very careful the source since many aren't easily absorbed.
I take DualTabs from Twinlab. They have vitamins and minerals - thus the "dual" and also include absorption agents. They have a lot of the B-complex along with everything else. The dosage is two/day but I only take one. 120 goes for $28 with shipping from
http://www.vitacost.com/ . I started taking them on the advice of a personal trainer/nutritionist that was very much into quality vitamins. Since then and that was nearly 10 years ago I've hardly ever had a cold.
