You can actually get more vitamins from the pills than from food.  But usually the vitamins are based on what people "should" be intaking daily from food.  But most people don't get nearly what they need.  It is a very good idea to use vitamin supplimnets if you feel you don't get enough.

For actual food, probably kale is your best bet. Broccoli comes pretty close too. The vegetables aren't really good sources of vitamin E, though. Maybe kale sauteed in olive oil? Does that still count as a single food?\n\nYou can always cheat and use fortified breakfast cereals, I'm not sure that would count as the nutrients aren't naturally occurring.

If you eat too much of these, yes, to be sure.\n\nHowever, if you eat them in moderation, and mix in vegetables, and some exercise, you should be just fine.

If we are refering to natural sources, no.\nCarrots, for example, contain the precursor of vitamin A (beta-carotene)and this is safe to consume.\nBeta-carotene is stored in the liver and converted in vit.A,as needed.So, you don't have the risk of an excessive amount of vitamin A in your body.\nFor more information, check out this link\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_carotene#Carotenemia\n\nKaterina

Water soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C, go straight through your digestive system and are excreted with urine. They are safe to ingest frequently. Fat soluble vitamins, however, are stored in the body for longer periods of time.

Taking a multi-vitamin should be in addition to healthy eating. It helps you to get nutrients that you might not get in the foods you normally eat. \n\nIn order to get more veggies into your diet why not eat salads with your meals, slide extra veggies into your recipes and choose them for snacks.

It is much better to get your vitamins through food.  However, it is difficult for some people to get enough of some vitamins and minerals, especially calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B 12, through food.  Discuss this with your doctor.

Yes they are. However, the manmade products these days are quite impressive. You want to make sure that you buy vitamins that have a "vegetable" base that way they digest in your system completely. A lot of vitamins do not completely break down and our bodies to not reap the entire benefit. Nevertheless, vitamins from fruits and vegetables are always the best way to go.

ONLY water-soluble vitamins pass through! If you over-ingest fat-soluble vitamins, you'll get sick, potentially fatally sick. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and vitamin B, because your body cannot process them itself. Fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D can be produced without food.\n\nVitamins themselves do not contain calories because they are only micronutrients. Macronutrients (fat, CHO, protein) are what have calories. "Waste" (i.e., poop) is the part of the food that your body cannot extract nutrition from. If you eat 500 calories, you absorb 500 calories. But if you eat food that you cannot fully digest (like some vegetables with indigestible fiber), you'll excrete a lot ofthe vegetable because they are very low in CHO, fat, protein and, ultimately, calories.

I am a vegan.  I personally take a vitamin every other day or whenever I remember to.  (I forget)  And I'm perfectly healthy.\n\nAnyway, if you have a pretty decent diet, you really don't need to take vitamins.  You can get most nutrients from a plant source.  The only one that is of some concern is Vitamin B12.  This isn't found in any plant source, only in meat and dairy products.  But, it is found in fortified soy milk and other things, including vitamins.\n\nIf you want to take Vitamin B-12, you can find in vegetarian/vegan multivitamins or you can buy it alone.  However, you do need other B Vitamins to help it be absorbed in your body.  If you are looking for a good one or just can't stomach taking pills, try the one that is offered by TriVita.  It goes under your tongue and you suck on it.  And the flavor is great!

I'll temper this,yes. But I often don't eat a balanced diet. Most multi-vitamins are water soluble. It is said that America has the richest urine in the world. In other words, if not needed, it passes on through. You could write a Doctoral Thesis on this you know !

No, Vitamins are good for you, as long as you don't take too many. One multivitamin a day is fine.

Yes they are good for you and your body, but unfortunatly, most people dont realize that they dont need them. As long as you eat regularly, and healthy, you get all the vitamins you need for the day. And in most cases, you body won't obsorb extra (to store/use) of any particular vitamin (in most cases). Therefore, just eat healthy and you should be fine, and shouldn't need them. Like always though, it may be better to actually ask a doctor, more specifically, your doctor.
