I've recently started taking multivitamins again but can't tell the difference from when i was on them and when i was off them. How long does it take to reap the benefits? How can i tell they're working? Is there a brand better than the rest?

Most reputable brand of multis have a high potency of b vitamins (Solaray, Swiss) .Your urine will be a bright yellow colour, this means that your body is absorbing and utilizing the vitamin b vitamins and disposing of what ti doesn't require. As for the other minerals and vitamins in the tablet, you have no surefire way of know whether or not they are working, but if the B's are then it would be safe to assume that the others are working as well

Any multi vitamin will do, even the children's chewables. Sometimes it's hard to tell when they're working, just know they are, this is a great thing to do for yourself, our bodies are usually lacking in some vitamin, and with our diets not as good as they should be, it's just good sense to take vitamins, good for you. Remember even when you don't feel them, they're working!

When taking a high quality multivitamin, you should feel a difference in your energy level to some degree. I recommend you go to your local GNC and try one of their multivitamins.
I like the ones they have that you put in water like Alika-seltzer.
The most important thing is that they dissolve. Some cheaper vitamins have the good stuff in them, but you just poop them out whole.

You can't tell. You take them and hope they are, and figure they can't hurt. That't it! Geesh!

They are just vitamins. They don't work magic.
