Of course the vitamin maker is going to say his product is good.

They're only good if you're actually deficient.

You don't need to take multivitamins if you have a balanced diet. What happens is that your body will simply get rid of the excess.

Heard this great analogy, at a building site if you dump a ton of cement, let's say far more than I'd needed it won't improve the building process just create more work to remove this cement. Eat a varied diet, try to incorporate greens and you won't need any supplements. Exceptions of course.

I have got it into my head that supermarket fruit and veg is low in nutrients I worked in horticulture for many years, I know how its produced Plant food doesn't contain all the minerals we are told we need for a start So I take one or 2 multivitamins a week "just in case" .... and nibble a few wild herbs

Depends, if they are water-soluble you won't get ill unless you overdose by so much that your body struggles to dissolve them with water.

Supplements are basically a waste of money, unless you are medically diagnosed with vitamin/nutrition deficiency or prescribed by a doctor. Any excess vitamins will basically excreted and will not utilised at all by the body.

So if they are made from bacteria does that mean that all alcoholic beverages can be called a vitamin also? "Thompson are you drunk!!!!. No Boss I took 8 shots of vitamins before work". :D

Focus on good diet rather than taking multivitamins. Rather take individual vitamin D and K which actually do have an upside.

Easier said than done. Many good for you foods lack the vitamins they should have because they are grown in nutrient poor soil. A good diet is a great thing, but it doesn't mean you won't have deficiencies.

What a fail. If they are going to ask somebody if multivitamins are useful they have to look for a neutral 3rd party, not a multivitamins maker...

High quality supplements including Multi's are a very good idea for everyone. Edible plants of every description including Organic have vitamin and mineral levels that are down 30% in the last 60 years. Much of the Organic is mono cropping with modern practices as opposed to Sustainable farming practices. As well, supplements are specifically used to treat or prevent many disease processes. Not many people smoke these days - but if one eats a decent diet and includes 200 - 400 mcg of a quality supplement this will will reduce the lung cancer rate down to Non Smoking Americans, these studies go back to the 70's at least and some to the 50's. There are many many other examples. If anyone is interested - Functional Medicine is far beyond most Allopathic Medicine of just treating the symptoms with prescription drugs

I take a multivitamin just in case because foods tend to lack nutrients that they once had thanks to nutrient poor soil. I still eat a fairly balanced diet. In addition I take potassium after sweating a lot, calcium as I don't get enough from my diet, and magnesium because I have a documented deficiency.

I take vitamin D but I'm in Canada and if I don't take it then I'm going to be deficient in it during the fall and winter. The rest? Don't need it if you eat even remotely properly.
