There are "good" and "bad multivitamins. If you choose the wrong one or take other vitamin supplements at the same time you risk overdosing on something. Sometimes it's not too bad though. B-vitamin e.g. just gets secreated out in our **** if we get too much of it. I'ts not like you can't overdose on fruits and vegetables too. Ever heard of people's skin turning orange from eating too many carrots? About 10 years ago my mom woke up one morning and had big, red splotches of red all over her skin and she had been eating loads of strawberries everyday the last few weeks.

I agree about it being better getting your nutrients from real foods rather than pills, but I happen to allergic to most fruits so I prefer taking a multivitamin and other natural supplements to compensate my lack in other nutrients or to simply get a certain health benefit. Green tea is very healthy for you, but I started feeling very sick in the stomach from drinking it so I switched to green tea supplements instead and have no problems since.
