re: Your Daily Multivitamin Is Pointless, at Best

I recommend everyone get a full micronutrient test every year. Otherwise, you are just taking a shotgun approach and hoping it works.

What if everything is OK, but you are low in copper. Then you should only be taking copper, and don't need the shitload of B12 in your average multi (and you can spend a lot less).

On the other hand, if you find you are really low in certain things, like vitamin D, the low amount in a typical multi will not help at all, since you'll need at least 2K IU.
