does anyone take basic 3? or just a regular multivitamin? any suggestions?

That's what I take, their "mature adults" variety. I also take their fish
oil, glucosamine chondroitin, calcium, and Vitamin C.

I agree. Vitamins and supplements are potentials for ripoff - we
consumers never know what is actually there.

Personally, I feel that some good lawsuits on false labeling are in
order... large class action lawsuits..... and maybe some cleanup by a
voluntary industry standards board or federal regulation for interstate
sales and distribution.

I do think that many manuracturers appear to be sloppy re nutritional
labeling - for both food and supplements. And they get away with it,
so the only downside for most of them is bad publicity.

The problem with class action lawsuits is that you don't have much in
the way of damages. You don't strictly need them for consumer
lawsuits, I understand, based on strict liability concepts associated
with consumer complaints in many jurisdictions (somebody correct me if
I'm wrong). But I'd think it would be difficult to build a compelling
case that would yield big bucks (including fees & costs for attorneys,
which would be substantial) without being able to demonstrate that
someone was hurt, other than minor damage to the pocketbook.
