Is taking multiple vitamins separately better than taking just a complete multivitamin? Is there really a difference in efficacy?

The best way to get sufficient vitamins and minerals is to eat a varied, balanced diet that contains the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals. However, this can be difficult to do with every meal. Taking a multivitamin can provide an easy way to ensure you are getting all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. When it comes to efficacy, studies have shown that taking a multivitamin supplement is generally just as effective as taking several individual vitamins separately. There is no conclusive evidence that taking multiple single vitamins is more effective.
