Multivitamins and supplements can be useful for certain deficiencies for a period of time but I don’t think they are going to replace healthy balanced diet and long term use can have side effects.

If diet fails, multivitamins can fill up dietary shortages, but they don’t have fiber, antioxidants, or the synergy of entire foods. They should be used temporarily in accordance with medical advice; they should not be used as a permanent dietary substitutes.

I don’t feel we can depend on multivitamin for long term usage.
We should focus on getting a balanced diet and taking supplements as and when required after consulting a doctor to prevent any toxicities.

The researchers concluded that multivitamins don’t reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline (such as memory loss and slowed-down thinking) or an early death. They also noted that in prior studies, vitamin E and beta-carotene supplements appear to be harmful, especially at high doses.

Like if we take multivitamins and supplements so, from my point of view it’s not good because we take for long time and it’s not effective. We take these supplements when we are going through with any weakness so, for recovery then we take these supplements and multivitamins
