Or is it just fake news?

Does anyone feel better when they're on a multivitamin versus when they aren't? I always had a feeling that it's too good to be true that you can get so many vitamins and minerals from just a small pill.

kind of a scam tbh. if you get most of your vitamins/minerals from food you are fine. Even if you are lacking in a certain vitamin as long as it isn't at completely deficient levels. multivitamins also give you very little dosage of each.

alot of it doesn't get absorbed as well bc either you already get alot of it through diet, and some of them don't get absorbed properly unless you are somewhat fasted or after a meal, so that could conflict with each other.

you're better off getting the supplements by itself for whatever you are lacking diet wise. maybe do a test to see what you are deficient in and tailor your diet to that.

Pretty much this. So long as you're eating well, that's where you'll be getting most of your vitamins and minerals. Outside of that, if you need to supplement specific vitamins, then you certainly can. But a multivitamin just assumes every single person needs exactly the same amounts of additional support, when literally every single person on the planet is different and has different needs.

I need to find a better doctor but IDK how to search.

you can't get a private test done with a custom profile tailored to what you want? it's kind of expensive but probably worth it as a one time thing to see where your levels are at.

if your diet is great then it is not needed......... but if you don't eat a variety of fruits and veggies then you may be deficient in something.
it is like a condom, if offers protection just in case..... your diet sucks.

"In a perfect world, we’d eat “five to seven cups of vegetables per day and a wide variety of brightly colored produce” to get the nutrients we need, according to naturopathic doctor Kate Denniston. But in our imperfect lives, multivitamins can be a smart “safety net,” says Amy Shapiro, a registered dietitian and founder of Real Nutrition. That’s an opinion seconded by Jennifer Maeng, a registered dietitian and founder of Chelsea Nutrition, who sees them as an “insurance policy, filling potential gaps in the diet.”

with this i felt a difference

Because most multivitamins offer only expensive urine. If you are eating whole foods and getting a good mix of veggies and meat, odds are a multi is a total waste. It likely makes more sense to supplement only those things that can be somewhat difficult to get enough of (like magnesium).
