help me choose vitamin supplements?
I'm 21, college student with overload school schedule, my bad eating habit is that I don't like veggie and milk. I'm considering some supplements but there are many kinds of them, I'm afraid that taking to many vitamins will harm my body.
for sure I will take:
Omega 3
Calcium, people said that it should come with Vit-D
the others I'm considering are:
multivitamins
balanced B
Vitamin A (working on computer a lot!)
potassium (my psy class taught me that we need K+ & Na+ for neurons 'firing' process, I don't like banana by the way)
melatonin 3mg (I'm high energy at night, trying to change my body clock, can naturally stay up until 6am if I don't want to sleep)
magnesium
zinc
Vit-C
Vit-E
folic acid with DHA
CoQ10
By the way, I'm currently moving from south to north, literally, from year round warm weather to a brutal winter place. Unfortunately, I have to take classes from a CC and my Uni which add up to 26 credits. Please give me advice on what supplements I should take that benefit me, keep myself physical and mentally healthy, especially for the cold days coming.
Thank you very much.

Do vitamin tablets work?
I bought some multi-vitamins (calcium, zinc, vitamin b, vitamin d, iron etc.) and if I was wondering if anyone knows from personal experience whether or not they make any difference to your health and/or appearance. Also, if you can tell me, I would like to know if there is any scientific evidence to suggest that they do/don't work.
Thanks for your time.:)
I do have a relatively healthy diet - I'm not trying to replace it with vitamins. I just thought that they might help.

Question on taking vitamins for workout?
Normally I take energy vitamins before my workout (vitamin B, vitamin E, Garlic, etc) and recover vitamins after (vitamin C, Calcium, Magnesium, etc). I recently bought Ripped Fuel and Amino Fuel. I plan on taking Ripped Fuel before my work out and Amino Fuel after. Should I still take the energy vitamins before and recovery vitamins after? Or should I take the vitamins at another time in the day?
What's the best web site to find detailed information on vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements?

Is it possible to take an overdose of B vitamins?
I usually include a multi-B vitamin tablet every morning, along with other vitamins. But sometimes the B makes me feel nauseous and kind of jumpy. Those Bs can contain up to 6000% of the RDA in a specific vitamin, like B6. I'm a 40 year old male, physically active and in better health than most my age. So I'm wondering if I need to lower the dose, or omit it altogether.
