Recent studies indicate that taking vitamins and minerals does nothing for your overall health or longevity, except possibly for Vitamin D. Instead of worrying about supplements, you would be far better off to make sure you eat a healthy diet–vegetables, fruits, fish, and whole grains and legumes (beans, such as soy beans) should constitute the bulk of your food intake.
