I recently came into possession of some multi-vitamin pills on a whim. Of course they have all of these nutrients in them for us, but have any of y'all ever taken them regularly and noticed any benefits?

it's not totally a shame, because you do get at a little nutritional value from them, but the health benefits from taking a multivitamin has been grossly overstated for a long time...

I have gone through periods where I took them and periods where I did not take them. can't say I saw any effects at all whether I take them or not.

I think that if you happen to be deficient in some particular vitamin or mineral, they will fill that void...but if you eat anything near a balanced diet, you won't see a difference at all.

I had been getting sick quite often last year even with getting a flu shot: colds, ear infections, shingles, stomach virus on ny eve, etc. Started taking a multivitamin in mid january and have felt better since (haven't gotten sick). I figured it couldn't hurt to get some extra vitamins that I apparently hadn't been getting from my diet and exercise

While you will urinate out a lot of the vitamins, I think a multi should be a staple for everyone. Most people do not get their recommended daily vitamin intake through food alone. You may not "feel" anything, but you will be healthier.

I think you get more benefits from the minerals and a,d,e, and k.

The Mega doses of c and b you just piss out 90% of it

You would be best to visit a doctor and take specific vitamins based on what you lack from your diet or if you are highly active, etc.

I take a gummy prenatal multivitamin daily. Extra folic acid will be good if I ever am pregnant.

And it makes my hair grow faster, stronger, and longer.

Multi-Vitamins are great IF you're deficient. Though if you're healthy enough there's probably no harm in taking them since your body will just flush out the excess.
