are you sure they are not being absorbed? i have found it takes a few weeks, of taking a daily vitamin, to really notice,,,,, i use One-a-Day,,,,, for women,,, they make a mens one also,,,,,,,, they are not expensive, and i do notice a difference, try to make sure and take it right after eating ,,, but if you forget or cant, they work without eating
there are also some liquid vitamins, check at your local drug store,,,,, those might work better for you

How do you know that they do nothing.? Quite often when people take vitamins, no matter how much they spend, many cannot feel their effects. Have you been tested by a doctor, had blood drawn and checkd for levels of the particular vitamins in your blood? You may want a doctor tell you what you are deficient in then take only what the doctor recommends. For instance, vitamin B-12, if you are really low in that particualr vitamin, then you can buy an inexpensive vitamin to increase it. Our bodies dispose of what we don't need for the most part anyway. If you eat well, you may not be deficient in the vitamins you are taking. There are vitamins in liquid form that you take underneath your tongue and with those you at least "feel" like they are being absorbed because it tingles under your tongue. Good luck. :-)

I think there is Hookworms/Roundworms in your tummy...Go see a doctor IMMEDIATELY and get an x-ray...lolz...If there really is ...ask the doctor to give you medicine...my teacher say last time her auntie's friend ate the medicine and all the hookworms in the body crawled out from all the holes you could think of.,...nostrils...as they were dieing...
Don't eat multi vitamins...they are useless...eat normally...
