NatureMade is a brand that has a good reputation. The problem with vitamin supplements is that there is no requirement for independent verification (in the US.) or government testing that the pills actually contain the listed vitamins. There are some companies, though, that do independent verification, through laboratory testing, to confirm that various brands of supplements are legit. The one I'm familiar with is Consumer Lab at http://consumerlab.org. There is an annual fee, however, to use their service.

I found that chart confusing.
I take a multivitamin with B12 in it and buy a lot of foods fortified with B12 (bread, plant milk, tofu). Is there any reason to add extra supplementation beyond this? On most days I would take in about 3 times the RDA for B12. |

First, certain fat soluble vitamins, like E and A, that are included in almost all multivitamins appear to reduce life expectancy when taken in supplement form. See, for example, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6399773.stm. . |
