Vitamins don't act like drugs, in that you rarely get the 10-minute rush of effects you do from a slug of caffeine or a sleeping pill. You are supplying your body the raw materials with which it repairs itself, not forcing it to do something it wasn't going to do, through some overriding drug effect.
More significant than "feeling" effects is that vitamins (or nutrient supplements as a whole) work together (via "synergism") for an effect. Many times, one pill will do nothing, while that same pill working in concert with the whole "team" of nutrients can have a marvelous effect, though it may take a couple of weeks to feel it.

We had a nutritionist come in and go over those things. She mentioned that intake of sugar hinders the good stuff from being processed and taken in. For example, they say take a lot of Vitamin C when you are sick but she said to avoid store bought OJ, the stuff with sugar, as you are not getting what you thikn you are getting.

Anybody else hear that?
