    Unless you are vegan, have stomach problems, or on medication causing malabsorption, with a good balanced diet there should be no need for supplements.

    The best I can suggest is that you list the "ingredients" of each of the vitamins you are proposing to take and check them against the RDA and as long as you don't exceed the allowance you should be OK.

    Why do you want to start taking supplements? As clivealive says with a good balanced diet you should not normally need them. It is a good way of increasing the supplement company's profits though.
