Mostly No: Vitamins & supplements are big business, cheap to extract from lots of low cost sources & food waste, formulated into doses estimated to be too low to be harmful for nearly anyone & commonly too low to be helpful for anyone with a specific need. No good clinical trials; nearly all marketing (big profit margins to pay for this), large observational studies have shown no benefit yet higher mortality.
