When I am really good and track my meals on a program like Fitday.com, the program will also track your nutrients. I entered in the vitamin's information as one of the custom food options and started to log those in as well. I then quickly realized, that all those other nutrients that I am supposed to be getting in, where not in my foods. But, with the one little multi-vitamin I was suddenly hitting the daily recommended dosage. Because of just seeing this, I made a conscience effort to really remember to take that vitamin everyday.
Since I started doing this and it has become a habit, I can honestly say that I think I do feel a difference. I just feel better, a little brighter and more energetic. One the days I miss taking my vitamin, it's like my body is just a little down. Here's an example of how I feel. When I take my vitamins everyday, I feel like it's my birthday and someone just gave me a nice gift. I'm happier with a little extra perk in my step. On the days I miss my vitamin, I feel like a day were I just heard some sad news. I'm not as there mentally. My mind is saddened by the news which wants my body to just move a little slower then on a normal day.
Now that I know how my body reacts and how it seems to want me to take in that vitamin, I try even harder to remember to take one a day!

I know what you mean about the feeling you get. .Unfortunatly, Its hard for me.. I take thyroid medicine in the morning & cant take my vitamins until 4 hours after I take my thyroid medicine... I need to get in the habbit of taking it at lunch or dinner.. but I dont.. Its just hard to remember.
I take mine with dinner, and it is hard to remember, but after awhile- that too almost becomes a habit.
Funny, I heard someone say the same thing. You feel great when you take them, just remembering to do it is the hard part.
