I also had been taking a one a day multi-vitamin for awhile. Then I stopped and recently decided to begin taking it again. The store didn't carry the brand I used to take (or they changed their packaging) so I just decided to purchase something different. Over the next couple of days I started to feel sick after breakfast. I always felt like I wanted to throw up and a little lightheaded and it didn't matter what I ate. One day, I did end up throwing up and decided to find out what made me nauseous after each breakfast (lunch and dinner were fine). So I started really watching what I ate until I finally realized that every time I took the multi-vitamin I felt nauseous. If I didn't take it, I was ok. I decided to try a different brand of multi-vitamin and experienced the same results. I wondered why I was able to take them before and not have any problems. Then I noticed that on the label the dosages for the vitamins were something like 200%-500% daily allowance so I thought maybe the vitamins were too powerful for my system and I remembered that the old vitamins I took were 100% daily allowance. So I decided to find a multi-vitamin with only 100% allowances. Surprisingly most of the vitamins at the store are all over 100% now which I can't understand why you would need so much unless you were ill or something. I eventually was able to find one which had all vitamins at just 100% allowance and purchased it and have been using it ever since without any problems. So for me, I think you can take too many vitamins that your body doesn't need and my body really seems to protest if I do.
