Richard the b complex vitamins do support energy, though it is true they alone are not a energy source they do support the body and improve energy levels. I am no expert but I have good resources here which I deal with regualrly to get my advice which is why I only take a few select supplements to reach my goals.

I also don't think that vitamins support you in terms of giving you energy as in pure calories but I know it does help me stay more alert instead of groggy all day.

I've begun taking New Chapter One Daily vitamins, which are 100% whole food probiotic nutrients, 100% vegan. They are pre-cultured, so are extremely easy to digest and provide naturally occurring phytonutrients. I'm pretty sure I already get what I need from my diet in the way of whole food nutrients, but I don't think it hurts to make sure.

...sometimes the adage "you get what you pay for" applies. Sometimes not.
GNC has a member program where in the first week of every month members save 20%. I hate those member deals as a practice and I suspect that the 20% savings brings the cost down to a more reputable retail markup. I joined because my GF can get me the hook-up and the owner agrees to it as long as I pay the $15.00 yearly fee. Merton, sounds like you need a hook-up. Summit County is glued together with the "good guy" hook-up.
