Check your vitamin ingredients.

I’ve learned that you can’t trust most food and drug companies with your health.  You’ve got to read the label on anything you consume, including vitamins.

Someone I know purchased a a bottle of popular, heavily-advertised vitamins from a store last year.  It wasn’t agreeing with their stomach and I took a look at the label.  I have no idea what caused their issue, but I noticed two things I didn’t like: Maltodextrin and Cellulose.  The first is an artificial sweetener and the last has many uses including anti-caking and thickening.

It’s tough finding a vitamin with harmless ingredients, but look for ones with the fewest additives – that’s what I do.
