For me they are a waste of money. I've never bought into the whole vitamin thing. I eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit/veggies and I'm as healthy as a horse. I very rarely even get a cold (I had one this winter, but before that it had been years). I haven't taken vitamins since I was a kid (I'm 38 now).

I suggest a well balanced diet. If you have poor eating habits, or your doctor has suggested them for another reason, then of course vitamins are better than being deficient. I just always prefer to get my nutrients from the source.
