Would There Be Any Harmful Effects In Taking A One-a-day Vitamin Supplement Twice In A 24-hour Period?

I am wondering if taking a Centrum One-a-day multivitamin twice a day for added vitamins would be harmful, or just more beneficial. The bottle says it contains 100% of the daily values of 11 different vitamins and minerals, but would there be harm in getting 200% of the daily recommended amount of some of these? Thank you.

    Depends on what vitamins they are. getting too much iron is definetly a bad thing, but it probably wouldn’t hurt. Again, your body just eliminates the extra nutrients.

    take the reccomended 1 vitamin with a glass of fruit juice. the vitamin c in the juice will help you better absorb the nutrients in the vitamin.

    Try cutting the vitamin in half and then take half in the morning and half in evening. That’s the most beneficial way because of how its absorbed.

    It won’t hurt you, but if you take in more than your body needs you just urinate it out!! Like the person above me said, you will only be wasting your money!
    If you want your body to better absorb the vitamins, I recommend cutting them in half, and taking one half with breakfast and the other half with supper!
    Hope this helps!
