Yes! I will go that far

Then I read that you end up just pissing out most of the stuff because your body doesn't absorb it.
Your bladder isn't connected to your stomach 
For you to piss somethng out, it first has to pass through your blood. What you are doing is saturating your tissue levels of the vitamins so that they are present abundantly for whatever your body uses it for. On their way to your kidney they also act like antioxidants etc.
The most pissable vitamin, vitamin C, still gives elevated levels a few days after a single one gram dose. Yes you piss them out, but you'll have elevated levels throughout the days. The piss thing only goes for B vitamins and C by the way. A and E which are very important against aging, excrete much more slowly.

Also, I've read that natural sources (fruits and vegetables) are just better for you.
But better still is good natural food AND supplementation 
Hop back onto those vitamins! You need a good multi with strong antioxidant power, so one with much A, E and C.

www.realage.com has a questionnaire you fill out, which reports back to you how much higher/lower your "real age" is than your biological age.
It also offers tips on lowering your "real age" through diet, exercise, lifestyle & supplementation. 
P.S. My "real age" is 27.

Natural Vitamin A is a neuro-toxin....I wouldn't want any of that to be building up in my body!
It's important to stay within the recommended dosage for Vitamin A.

If he takes one product with a balanced formulation he won't be at risk from that. It takes a lot of vitamin A to actually do some harm. Its all in the dose

Another thing I was always wondering: I'm currently 28 and I started to eat somewhat healthy at the age of 19. I haven't had a can of soda, cookies, french fries, etc.. for nine years. Although, I'll have some treat like ice cream or something maybe once a month. From the ages of 19-26 my diet was pretty much as follows:
Breakfast:
-Centrum Multi-vitamin -Banana -O.J. -Cereal (good stuff like Cheerios...not crap like Cap'n Crunch)
Lunch:
-Peanut butter sandwich (real peanut butter that is just peanuts ground up...not the garbage with sugar and trans-fats in it) -Fruit smoothie drink (bananas and strawberries, blueberries, etc..) -Can of tuna fish
Dinner:
-Pasta with some cheese and olive oil on top -Chocolate milk -Occassional pizza, beef, or chicken
While this diet is healthier than 99% of Americans I am worried that I did damage to my body by rarely eating vegetables. You should get about four servings a day and I was eating maybe four servings a week. My fruit intake was pretty high though with the bananas and the smoothies. Also, I always figured that my multi-vitamin made up for the fact that I wasn't eating a lot of veggies...but now I wonder.
Ever since I was 26 I stopped taking a multi-vitamin. I now eat a shitload of veggies (usually every meal) and I make fresh fruit smoothies with varied fruit and I probably have three big glasses of those a day. I only eat red meat maybe twice a week (and it's not crap from McDonald's...it's the good, lean, and healthy stuff from a grocery store). Most of my meat intake is now lean chicken and fish.
I am still really bothered by my almost non-existent vegetable intake during most of my 20's though. And, even with my current veggie intake do you think I should start hitting a multi-vitamin again? If so, what brand? I always just used Centrum.

I've heard dying is a good way to stop aging.
