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%
Chromium: 200 mcg/166%
Molybdenum: 170 mcg/226%
Potassium: 20 mg/<1%
Bioflavinoids: 100 mg/*
Choline: 30 mg/*
Inositol: 30 mg/*
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA): 30 mg/*
Vanadium: 250 mcg/*
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.

Pharmacists or nutritionists: B vitamin question?
Why do B vitamin complex formulas seem so out of whack? I'd expect them to provide a uniform percent of the RDA for each component, but they don't. Folic acid is especially low. And why don't they include PABA, inositol and cholin, which are essential parts of the B-complex? Can anyone explain the rationale behind the proportions - and the omissions?
I’m thinking of taking prenatals for hair/etc (not pregnant). Is this vitamin safe?
I know it's important not to go crazy with the iron and some other nutrients if you aren't pregnant. This one seems reasonable to me, is there anything I should be concerned about?
