Split Multivitamins In Half
If you take a multi-vitamin, here’s a tip that I read (or saw) somewhere: cut the multivitamin in half and take it twice a day. By splitting up the vitamin and consuming it twice, you even out the “dosage,” and thus the effectiveness of the vitamin, throughout the day. When you consume it all at once, a much higher percentage of it is expelled as waste as the vitamin travels through the body. By taking it twice, the assumption is that more of it is processed and absorbed by the body rather than expelled.

taking half a vitamin twice a day could mean that you end up absorbing more than the recommended dose(s).
So probably not a good idea after all… (just to be safe)
