I take multi-vitamins everyday because I have a terrible diet.
I wouldn't take multivitamin tablets. Multivitamin tablets are full of binding agents and magnesium stearate, an artificial flow agent used to keep the substances from sticking to the equipment while in processing. I wouldn't put that in my body. Magneseum stearate has been shown to
inhibit the body's killer t-cells.In addition, the majority of the vitamins you find in the stores are not a good quality, and are often derived from synthetically generated substances. Synthetically derived iron and vitamin E have been shown to cause a number of issues if taken long term. The best vitamin supplements are what are called whole foods vitamins.

Why Synthetic Supplements Are Terrible And Whole Food Supplements Are Way BetterTom, are you saying that if I take a handful of these multi-vitamins a day (isntead of just 3) that I'll have perfect health and could potentially live forever? Does Vitamin C counter aging as well? How many vitamins do I have to take per day to become immortal?
You won't live forever, but you will live the full term of your natural life, until your body gets so old and worn with age and shortened telomers that it can't function and repair itself properly and properly use vitamins.
Linus Pauling, megadose vitamin C advocate, died in 1994 from prostate cancer. Mayo Clinic cancer researcher Charles G. Moertel, M.D., critic of Pauling and vitamin C, also died in 1994, and also from cancer (lymphoma). Dr. Moertel was 66 years old. Dr. Pauling was 93 years old. One needs to make up ones own mind as to whether this does or does not indicate benefit from vitamin C.
