Yes: Depending on the situation, yes, most of us recommend a basic multivitamin. It is the megadoses that we have issues with.

Not really: I would hope, only where indicated. Most vitamin pills are not necessary because of our diets.

Many do, many don't: I don't know, but they all should! research shows taking a multivitamin can help prevent heart disease, strokes, cancer, osteoporosis & degenerative neurological diseases like parkinson's & alzheimer's. Even the conservative mainstream ama advises all adults take a multivitamin! it's important to choose a good one-see http://www.Multivitaminguide.Org/ see my comment for jama's research summary:.
