Is taking multiple vitamins separately better than taking just a complete multivitamin? Is there really a difference in efficacy?
<|assistant|>
There is not enough evidence to suggest that taking multiple single vitamins is better than taking a complete multivitamin. Taking a multivitamin provides all of the necessary vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the optimal dose needed to support good health and prevent deficiencies. Moreover, there is not enough research to determine the efficacy of taking separate vitamins as there are a lot of other confounding factors such as other medications and habits that can affect vitamin absorption. Therefore, it is generally recommended to take a high quality multivitamin to ensure you are covering all of your bases.
