"The Science Behind Multivitamins: Pros and Cons for Your Health"

While there is some encouraging data on the benefits of multivitamins for healthy adults, the supplement isn't a cure-all, and the United States Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend it for healthy adults due to insufficient evidence of benefits. Studies have shown mixed results on the impact of multivitamins on important health outcomes, and it's generally better to focus on maintaining a healthy diet. However, there are scenarios where multivitamins are important, such as for people with specific nutritional deficits, those who have undergone bariatric surgery, and pregnant or breastfeeding women. When choosing a multivitamin, it's important to consider individual needs and avoid overdoing it on any nutrient.
