Do you take a multivitamin everyday?

It is recommended that one should take a multivitamin a day for optimum health.In these days of GM foods and pesticide laden farm produce,I donot think we get all the nutrients we are supposed to get.so I do take a multivitamin everyday.But is it really good than a proper diet?What do you think?

i have heard what u are but i doubt that it is correct because food and pesticides bad but multivitamins are also chemicals and they may harm kidney directly.

i dont take multivitamins every day but i have a drink powder i use with water which is filled with vitamins and minerals and use flaxseeds and iron as well as i do a lot of exercise and so these all help with energy i have a good diet as well but i dont think the extra vitamins are better than having a good diet sometimes we dont get enough vitamins and minerals so its a good idea anyway to take some kind of multivitamins and anyway most food after its been cooked isnt really that nutritious so its hard to keep a balanced diet

I agree with you,mailboxmoney.Afterall,fresh veggies do lose their nutrients with prolonged freezing.
