Considerations

The Nature's Code multivitamin contains a very high amount of vitamin B12. While this may give you a welcome energy boost, your body cannot possibly use this much B12. Since B12 is a water soluble vitamin, your body should be able to excrete excess amounts through the urinary tract without medical complications. According to MayoClinic.com, multivitamins are not necessary for adults who eat a well balanced diet. The cost of supplements can add up, so you may be able to save money by eating well.
