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?

The ones I take make my pee yellow. So it’s definitely doing something.

For me it’s green.

Green/florescent green pee that looks like Mountain Dew can be a sign of diabetes, or consuming more sugar than your body can handle.

Check with your doctor.

I have diabetes but it’s definitely the vitamins, it only happens when I take them. I had a gastric bypass and the bariatric vitamins have high amounts of everything to make up for the malabsorption.
