I posted this as a result of reading a comment in another thread here that stated most people don't need vitamins, etc. We should carefully examine various sources when forming an opinion on virtually anything. When buying a new amplifier, we don't often go on one individual's say-so.... we look for consensus of opinion.
While a perfectly-balanced diet can provide most of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of vitamins and minerals, there are a few certain nutrients that are hard to get sufficiently from food. Also, few people eat a truly well-balanced diet, so there is greater chance of deficiency.
