Vitamin question

OK planning for the future, I hear discussion about useing Centrum vitamins, but when you look at GNC, where Centrum might have 100%, GNC might have 200-300% recommended daily total.

So if post surgery, we have malabsorbtion, would the "extra" help?

Thanks,
Tom

Probably not.  Your body can only absorb so much at a time even before surgery, and afterwards that amount goes down.  That's why they tell us to spread our vitamins out over the course of the day.  Getting more won't hurt, since you'll just excrete it, but you're gonna absorb what you're gonna absorb, regardless of how much you take in.

Since we don't aborb it all at once I take a Multi Centrum Silver every morning and every night, I do that with all of the vitiamins I take them twice a day and I always have perfect labs.
