Okay, I'll make this brief while adding anything new to help find an answer as we go.
I want to take a multivitamin, because I know I don't get my daily dose of vitamins or nutrients that I need, I don't eat enough by far, which I'm working on, and I feel that I can get more energy and less drowsiness from them. I also plan on starting a New Years resolution of building a small amount of muscle and working myself into a very slick, cut shape. Afterward, I will then start taking classes in a traditional style of Kung Fu, towards the end of summer when my semester starts back up in the Fall.
I would like to know if there is anything in these pills that could harm me, or if there are bad side effects that I could get from them, or if there is something that would be unnecessary. Now, the vitamins also aren't going to stay forever, they are something to fill in the gap of missing food that I can't eat up, because of the job I have now, no time, and no money. Within a few years, I will transition over to a healthy food diet over the multivitamin. But anyways, here is the vitamin and its nutrition facts. And I want some answers from a good source, not just a blunt opinion because you oppose them for some reason... Thanks everyone!
