I wouldn't split it up, as most vitamin/supplementation plans have you taking 2 (doses) of multi a day, so that would be 4x/day instead of 2 for the multi, which may interfere with your schedule for taking all the others vites as some need to be taken away from all the others... hopefully a more knowledgeable person will chime in soon :)

No, Sweetie.  If 2 equals 1 dose, you can't split them.  Next time you buy a multi, look into getting Solgar.  Those suckers are potent and 1 pill equals 1 dose.

Hey Amber,
Most of us take a Generic good quality multi. I take 2 of the Sams club version of Centrum silver a day, have done since surgery 3.5 yrs ago and labs have always been fine.
You will probably need to tweak your individual supplements anyway and thats where I would spend my money to be honest!

hugs,

I wouldn't take that vitamin, period. It's very inadequate.
