If daily value for a vitamin capsule far exceeds 100% does that mean I can go for a number of days without having that vitamin in my body or does the body use it up immediately?
For example if I took 833% of vitamin C from a capsule today, can I go on for 8 days without taking anymore vitamin C at all?

You have two different classes of vits, water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble is Vits. C and B and they are voided from your system when you pee. Vits D, K, and E are fat soluble and can build up in your system. The fat ones can be toxic at very high quantities (like 10,000%).

Water-soluble vitamins excess would be expelled with urine, sweat (B complex for example) or stools.
Lipid soluble vitamins are not so harmless...An excess of A vitamin for example can cause birth defects if taken by pregnant women...but I repeat, EXCESS! Just fill your vitamin nutritional requirements daily (easy to do with veggies of varied colors) and that is it.

No. Anything over the 100% of the need daily value would be lost, before the body could use it.
