I've also heard that your body can only absorb 10-15% of them and you end up peeing the rest out, wouldn't this strain your kidney's to some extent? I've also heard of plenty of people who use them and swear they give them increased energy levels and a generally better state of health so i don't know what to believe!!!

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

No, you won't! Toxicity issues come into play when you start megadosing on lipid base vitamins and certain minerals. Megadosing is the key word here! A good multivitamin daily is a great idea.
