The only site worth checking for topics like this.
Also, I think it isn't a good idea to take any kind of supplement, vitamin or anything else and judge the result of doing that by how you 'feel.' Get yourself tested for deficiencies.
Most people will be deficient in Vitamin D. Most active people will be deficient in Zinc & Magnesium. Some people with a crappy diet will have low iron levels, etc, etc. All of these things can be checked by your doctor. And if you do it once per year and supplement with vitamins based on what your needs are wouldn't that be a much better idea than just going by how you feel?

Yeah, but who does that?
If you're the kind of person who has the regurarly goes to a doctor to check for vitamin deficiencies, chances are you live a pretty healthy lifestyle anyway.
Supplements are a way for people like me to feel a bit better about their diet, and possibly it actually helps with some deficiencies I'm not aware of.
In other words I like my placebos
