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

In most cases, taking individual vitamins in doses recommended by a physician is better than taking a multivitamin supplement. A complete multivitamin may provide some benefit when it comes to preventing nutritional deficiencies, but there is little evidence to suggest that it offers any additional benefit beyond what can be achieved by taking individual vitamins. When it comes to choosing individual vitamins, it is important to consider a person's specific nutritional needs and consult a health professional for recommendations.
