Vitamin question?

I just bought several different vitamins:

-Vitamin C
-Vitamin D 3
-A multi-vitamin
-Fish oil gels capsuls

My question is: Can I take all of them at once? (Ie., after dinner), or is it better to take some in the morning, and others in the evening?
(And, if so, which ones?)

Also, I'm taking these fish oil capsuls for the first time: do they make your mouth smell like fish? Hmm ....

Thanks!!

What is the best vitamin for my husband?

My husband is almost 54, active, arthritis in his neck (developed over the years after auto injuries), occasional stomach upsets, but otherwise healthy, and not overweight or underweight. He eats very well-balanced meals for lunch and dinner, and has snacks also, but often skips breakfast, sometimes 4 or 5 days out of the week. He takes a multivitamin with minerals every morning before he goes to work with a glass of fruit juice, along with some extra vitamin C, vitamin D3, and a low strength aspirin. We have tried lots of different brands of multivitamins that seem to work at first, but after a while he wants to try another one because he feels it doesn't work any more (for example: energy level gets lower). Any suggestions?

One more thing: We like to try to stay with products that are more toward the natural side, or that add natural herbs, etc. The multivitamin he is taking now is a brand called "Rainbow Light - Men's One (Gentle on the stomach)"

Thanks in advance for your help!

Could someone who knows about nutrition, and vitamins tell me if my list of vitamins looks ok (inside)?

1 Men's health formula multi vitamin tablet,
1 D-3 400 IU tablet,
2 100 mg. Korean Ginseng capsules,
1 Cranberry Fruit 1,500 mg. soft gel which also contains vitamin C,
1 Folic Acid 400 mcg. tablet,
1 C vitamin 500 mg.

And I also drink a small amount of apple cider vinegar each morning. And I drink a very small amount of extra virgin olive oil, a very small amount of it.

I also drink a cup of kava kava tea every day, and I'm thinking about drinking some chamomile tea.I also eat a banana for break fast, and usually a hamburger for lunch with cheese and mayonnaise on it. I'm trying to lose weight. Some times I also drink a diet poweraide that is supposed to have all the vitamin B complex in it. And I drink plenty of water.

Does this sound healthy? And can you give me any tips on dieting? I want to eat more leafy greens like spinach because I've heard they are one of the best things to include in your diet. I also sometimes but some lemon juice in my ice water, but I don't have any at the time.

I'm on some psychotropic medication, and one anti depressant, and a muscles relaxer, and ultram for back and knee pain. But it's not a controlled substance yet. And I take all of my medication like I'm supposed too. I'm just wanting to make sure my liver, kidneys and heart are healthy.
Maybe I will stop taking the vitamin C unless I feel a cold coming. That's for the advice.
