Do Multivitamins actually do anything?

Do Multivitamins actually do anything? - Lemmy.world

I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment. Would it be worth taking a 1 a day multivitamin to at least correct some possible deficiency or is it very unlikely that it would have any effect? Not asking for professional medical advice or anything, mostly looking to see if anyone else is taking a multivitamin and if so why?

I have created a handy chart to follow

Did your doctor recommend you take supplements?

If yes

Take those specific supplements

If no

You do not need to take supplements

To add to this, you really need a blood test to show what you need.

Also, some vitamins are water soluble, others need to be taken with food. Your doc should know though

I did need some D though, since apparently hiding inside for 3 years during a pandemic can impact your body… who would’ve guessed??
