They are still 'otc' but often provide more of and better quality (more readily absorbable) forms of vitamins and minerals. They can also contain other ingredients that may or may not be beneficial.

Here is a good study to use as a guide in deciding which multi to take.
Here is a link to a good study pointed out to me a while ago when I was debating on what type of multi to take: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/405307/Multivitamin-Guide. The brands looked at is not an all-inclusive list, but the criteria used is explained well. Using this criteria is how I came to a decision on which one I wanted to take. Once I read this study I understood what forms of certain vitamins or minerals have better bioavalability, as well as what types and amounts of vitamins and minerals should be included.

multivitamins are OTC. OTC means you don't need a prescription. Centrum (or "OTC multis") has been formulated for the general public. Orange triad and anavite have been formulated for athletes/bbers.
