First of all, I don't eat enough to get all of the nutrients I need in a day. And if I did, it would probably not be the right foods. Don't get me wrong, I like vegetables and fruits and whole grains and lean meats... But it's not always convenient to make healthy meals like that and I don't always have the ingredients to make them. This is why I take vitamins!
I noticed too, that if you study what each vitamin does for your body, you can improve specific areas of your health by taking certain vitamins. For example, if you feel like you have a slow metabolism... take B vitamins. B vitamins help metabolize carbs and fats and can help you lose weight.
In the morning I take 5 different vitamins - a multi vitamin, b vitamin, calcium, vitamin d, and now I have started taking a magnesium supplement too.
I find that I feel better, have more energy and don't crave unhealthy foods as often when I am on a long streak of taking my vitamins daily. I love them. Some people may argue that vitamins are a waste of money, and that most of the vitamin isn't absorbed by the body anyways, but I have a solution to this problem. I take half of each vitamin twice a day, with a meal. Taking vitamins with a meal helps you absorb them and taking half the dose twice a day increases the amount of the vitamin that will be absorbed by your body.
