In regards to the daily multi-vitamin, I don't take any because most of them contain zinc, which for some reason makes me very nauseated. Interesting about the vasodilation with the niacin. Didn't know that.
Vimovo is a combination of naproxen and nexium which have both been around a very long time. Oddly enough, Vimovo is literally half the price of nexium alone, which makes no real sense. Other option is Arthrotec which is Diclofenac (NSAID) and misoprostil which actually increases the secretion of the gastric mucosal lining. Essentially though, nothing new, but does lower the chance of ulcer formation significantly. Tylenol with Voltaren is still a better option IMO
