All vitamins should be taken with a meal.  Don't overdo E.  The super B will contain B-12 so you may want to space those out.  Be careful with doseages!

In order to have the healthiest babies possible, the next few months will be critical from a nutrition point of view. Compared to a woman carrying only one baby, you will need to eat an additional 500 to 1000 calories per day, and get an additional 25 grams of protein, beginning at about 20 weeks gestation. In all, you need about 90 to 120 grams, not the 140 to 150 that you have stated above. So it seems as if you are now getting almost all the protein that you need. You will also need more vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, so you should be taking a daily prenatal vitamin.\n\nOne of the best ways for you to get your additional protein is to drink more milk. Milk is not only a good source of high quality protein, it also has the calcium your babies will need. One glass of milk will give you eight grams of protein. According to the book, "Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy," by Elizabeth Somers, a women carrying twins should get the equivalent of six glasses of milk per day.\n\nAlthough liquid food supplements sound like an easy out, they may not be the best choice. If you drink them in place of healthy eating, you will miss out on other naturally occurring nutrients, such as fiber and phytochemicals. The supplements may also contain large amounts of sugar, which you don't need. And, the vitamin and mineral mix may not be optimal for pregnancy. Your best route is to stick with a well-balanced diet, supplemented with a prenatal vitamin.\n\nTo get the additional protein you need, some of the best, and most concentrated sources are:\n\n    Meat, poultry, or fish: 21 grams of protein/3 ounces cooked\n    Eggs: 7 grams protein/1 large egg\n    Milk: 8 grams protein/8 ounces\n    Yogurt: 9 grams protein/1 cup plain\n    Tofu: 8 grams protein/4 ounces\n    Peanut butter: 4 grams protein/1 tablespoon\n\nFollowing is an example of how you may get your necessary 100 plus grams of protein per day. It does not include the other foods you also need, such as grains, fruits, and veggies:\n\n    Breakfast: 1 cup milk, 4 ounces cottage cheese/22 grams protein\n\n    Snack: 1 cup yogurt/9 grams protein\n\n    Lunch: Chicken sandwich made with 3 ounces deli chicken breast and 1 cup Milk/ 26 grams protein\n\n    Snack: Peanut butter crackers (2 tablespoons peanut butter) and 1 glass Milk/16 grams protein\n\n    Dinner: 3 ounces poached salmon, one glass milk/28 grams\n\n    Snack: Tofu smoothie using 4 ounces silken tofu, and sprinkled with Brewer's yeast/11 grams protein\n\nTotal calculated protein for the day equals 112 grams. Other foods that you eat during the day will add significant amounts of protein to that number. For example, the grains in the breads, cereals, and crackers you eat contain protein as do many of the vegetables. If you find you cannot tolerate large meals, eat several small meals throughout the day, perhaps eating every three hours or so.\n\nSome of the best foods to eat to boost your protein intake include: Cheese, Brewer's yeast, milk, seafood, pumpkin seeds, nuts, peanut butter, beef and poultry, and soybean products. When planning your snacks and meals, reach for foods that will help boost your protein intake. For example, instead of a bowl of pretzels, take a handful of nuts. Put peanut butter on your toast instead of butter. Add dry milk powder to your baked goods and casseroles. Buy yogurt and milk with added milk solids, substitute 1/4 soy flour for regular flour in baking, sprinkle cereals and casseroles with wheat germ or Brewer's yeast. Add Brewer's yeast to fruit smoothie drinks, add nuts to your cereal, toss pumpkin seeds into the salad, sprinkle shredded cheese into the pasta and add slices of low fat cheese to your sandwiches. As you can see, even if you don't like meat or eggs, you can still have a wide choice of protein containing foods. Perhaps you can find ways to hide eggs in foods you do like. For example, crepes contain eggs, yet are more like a pancake. Add eggs

What if I mistakenly take two prenatal vitamins on the same day?\n\nDon't worry. Taking twice the recommended amounts of these nutrients on just one day won't harm you or your baby. But doing that more often can be harmful, so it's important not to make a habit of doubling up on your prenatal supplements. If for some reason your caregiver has told you that you need more of a certain nutrient (iron or calcium, for example) than is in your prenatal vitamin, take the extra amount as a separate supplement.\n\nMultivitamins are designed to give you what you need daily, and getting an extra dose of everything in them is definitely not better. Vitamin A is not the only nutrient you can get too much of if you regularly take extra doses.

Taking a general multi-vitamin should be enough. It'll provide you with the essentials, and unless you have other health problems, that should be enough. If you do have health problems, talk to your doctor about what you should take to help.

folic acid/folate is needed by women of childbearing age to prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida, 400micrograms/day is needed.\nB12 is important for the intrinsic factor which is part of the digestive system and is needed for the absorption of nutrients, the most effective method is by injection once/month.  All B vitamins are good for energy and stress.\nAND they make your pee bright yellow, so it looks like you ate a highlighter pen :)

Folic acid is a naturally occurring B vitamin that helps a baby's neural tube—the part of a developing baby that becomes the brain and spinal cord—develop properly. It must be taken before and during early pregnancy when the neural tube is developing.\n\nThe best way to get enough folic acid is to take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid in it and eat a healthy diet. Most multivitamins have this amount, but check the label to be sure. You also can get folic acid in your diet, but it's hard to get enough every day through food alone. That's why the March of Dimes encourages all women of childbearing age to take a multivitamin containing folic acid every day as part of a healthy diet.\n\nFolic acid works, but it only works if taken before and during the first few weeks of pregnancy, when the neural tube is developing into the brain and spinal cord. When the neural tube does not close properly, a baby is born with a very serious birth defect called a neural tube defect (NTD). About 3,000 pregnancies are affected by NTDs each year in the United States. If all women took adequate folic acid before conception and during pregnancy, up to 70 percent of NTDs could be prevented. \n\nFolic acid has no known toxic level. If you ate a bowl of fully fortified cereal (400 micrograms), took a folic acid supplement (400 micrograms), and ate fortified foods and foods rich in folate, you would not get too much folic acid. Even in very high amounts, folic acid is non-toxic. Still, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that women consume no more than 1,000 micrograms of synthetic folic acid a day

Some of my friends swear by prenatal vitamins.  In the old day we drank plain Knox gelatin in juice or tea to strengthen our nails and hair

I find that the best vitamins on the market are Flintstones. Don't laugh. They're by far the easiest on the stomach. They also have everything you really need.

There's a GREAT source of information about vitamins at\n\nhttp://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/35320/35323/442717.html?d=dmtHMSContent\n\nIt describes different kinds of vitamins, when they are necessary--and this site goes beyond the usual "pregnant women should take a prenatal vitamin" advice that other sites give.\n\nThere is even more information at\nhttp://www.virtualhealthinfo.com/news_vitamins.shtml\n\nI remember hearing a few weeks ago on NPR that for the first time, a daily multivitamin was recommended for people, even those who eat a pretty normal diet because the nutritional value of the foods we eat is no longer as good as it used to be.  I suppose this is why we can get tomatoes that may not taste like much, but which travel to market without damage.  \nI looked for an article on this, but I couldn't find it.  (Sorry.)

well first if your not pregnant yet start taking folic acid and eating properly you need the actual brain functioning well and then when you get pregnant talk and read to your belly and read lots of intelligent books its been known to tranfer to your baby. once your child is born talk to your baby often and in an adult manner (no baby talk) play classical music and teach it another language if you stay consistant with this for years you will have a toddler who can probaly play an instrument or read and write or do math.

You can start with with Wikipedia at the page referenced below.  As you would expect they have quite a bit on  cholecalciferol - Vitamin D3.   Cholecalciferol being the primary human vitamin in the above series.  I realize this is not a complete answer, but it will get you started.

I would suggest taking B complex. The B vitamins help our body and nervous system stay healthy. You should be able to find these in any stores. I would read the labels and make sure it has all the B's.
