Most People Don't Need Multivitamins About one-third of Americans take some form of multivitamin regularly. But research suggests this may actually not be necessary. The supplement business is a $40 billion industry. Vitamins are often advertised as cures or having benefits not evaluated by the FDA. But the science is in: unless you’re pregnant or trying to conceive, nobody needs to take daily multivitamins. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine says there is no association between multivitamins and
living longer. It's more important to get enough nutrients from a variety of
food sources. Beth Kitchin, Professor of nutrition, via 'VICE'
