i won't recommend taking 2 multivitamins capsules/tablets a day.. a multivitamin capsule would contain both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.. water-soluble vitamins are vitamin C and B-complex.. they are easily disolved and water thus excreted in the urine. their primary function is to only supplement (that is, it replaces the needed amount when your diet doesnt have it). however, in the case for fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A,D,E, and K, they are stored in the body for future use. therefore, when you take more in a day and it is not used by your body, it could accumulate in your body reaching a toxic level and may be harmful in your body.

you can overdose on vitamins, just like you can on any other drug. If all the vitiamins are water soluable, then you can be ok, because you body will just get rid of it if it doesn't need it, BUT some arn't and are stored in your fat. This can cause you to overdose.
In short... Don't take 2 a day. Just take on in the morning, and you'll be good.

Some vitamin bottles recommend you take two per day. If your bottle says 1 a day it will absolutly not harm you if you do take 2. Your body is a magnificnet machine and will just use what it needs and dispose of the rest in urine. Make sure you take your Vitamins with food!!

The answer really depends on several things. You didn't mention the strength of the MV. If they are mega MV they could actually hurt the balance in your system. The other thing to consider is how well of a diet you eat normally.

no it's not because too much iron can cause other problems.. some vitamins are not water soluble meaning u pee them out.. they are stored by the body.. and too much isn't always good.. stick with one and try to eat rest!
