Vitamin A (as vitamin A acetate and as 40% beta-carotene) -> prefer beef liver or cod liver for vitamin A. My understanding is that the beta-carotene is useless if you don't have the gut bacteria to convert it.

Niacin (as niacinamide) - good low flush
Folate (as folic acid) - NOT good if you have the MTHFR mutation.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) - NOT good - builds up cyanide. I use the methylcobalamin or a multi-version with adenocobalamin. Also if you really need it (which our family does - one of my relatives ended up hearing voices and needing shots), you need it sublingually
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide) - NOT absorbable, many other versions are better
Zinc (as zinc oxide) - NOT absorbable and can make you want to vomit. Zinc picolinate is better
So yeah. How about we run a study of grass fed beef liver (which really is kind of a multivitamin - and comes in capsule form) against Centrum and do blood tests before/after and see what happens??
Looking at one of the Centrum multivitamins:
