I can't speak scientifically on the subject, but in my experience there seem to be great vitamin benefits from taking high quality supplements. Since I developed some serious health concerns a few years ago, I have been on a daily course of vitamins and minerals under the advice of my medical practitioner. I don't know how much was from the vitamins and how much was from changes in my diet, lifestyle, or energy drinks but whatever the cause, my health has gotten much better. The vitamins have played at least some role in that.

It is known that vitamins benefit a healthy lifestyle, but there is a lot of debate on whether supplements make a difference. In my own experience, it seems like taking supplements helps, but there is no substitute for a healthy diet. After all, vitamin absorption is much higher through natural foods. The vitamin pills you buy may contain the nutrition you need, but your body won't necessarily be able to absorb it. Eat healthy, take a few supplements if your doctor recommends it, and let nature take its course. Until we get better science, this is the best that any of us can do.
