Can multivitamins cause hunger?
About two weeks ago I started taking a multivitamin. Here are all the amounts:
Serving size: 3 tablets
Vitamin A: 12,500 IU/250%
Vitamin C: 500 mg/833%
Vitamin D: 400 IU/100%
Vitamin E: 200 IU/666%
Thiamin: 30 mg/2000%
Riboflavin: 20 mg/1176%
Niacin: 50 mg/250%
Vitamin B6: 30 mg/1500%
Folic acid: 800 mcg/200%
Vitamin B12: 300 mcg/5000%
Biotin: 300 mcg/100%
Pantothenic acid: 30 mg/300%
Calcium: 200 mg/20%
Iodine: 150 mcg/100%
Magnesium: 200 mg/50%
Zinc: 15 mg/100%
Selenium: 70 mcg/100%
Manganese: 6 mg/300%

Iron: 15 mg/83%
Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide.
That's with 3 tablets, and I'm only taking two a day, one in the morning and one at night.
Ever since I started taking them, I've been extremely hungry. I can't stop eating. This morning I ate 3 bowls of cereal and then was still hungry, even after waiting a half an hour between them. I would think the vitamins would help with hunger. I'm not overweight (5'3" and 119 lbs), and I haven't changed my diet or exercise at all.
is there any problem, if someone at age 20 take one day mens' 50+ advantage?
i am just wondering if there is any side effects if someone at age 20 take one-a-day mens' 50+ advantage ..i know its made for 50 and above ..but i am just curious to know .here is the description comparison:
One-A-Day® Men's 50+ Advantage contains twice the Lycopene and five times the Selenium of Centrum® Silver® to support prostate health and it provides key nutrients to support heart health, eye health, and healthy blood pressure.* Plus, it contains Ginkgo to promote memory and concentration.*
i mean the extra vitamins are there to help those areas of health that i'm worried about anyway in the future (prostate cancer, vision getting worse, memory) so would there be any negative consequences?
on the othe rhand i find that if i don't eat pretty heavily before taking these, it upsets my stomach slightly.

I have used it several times, before lacrosse and I feel it working, I don't know if it is bad for me or not, and I would really like to know so I can stop using it if it is...The ingredients include :Vitamin C 167% ; Niacin 165% ; Vitamin B6 2000% ; Folic Acid 100%; Vitamin B12 8333% ; Sodium <1%. And then I was wondering what would be the risks for my health after taking it every day.
