In a report published in 2006, the NIH stated:
“The present evidence is insufficient to recommend either for or against the use of MVMs [multivitamins/minerals] by the American public to prevent chronic disease.” It further stated "Most of the studies we examined do not provide strong evidence for beneficial health-related effects of supplements taken singly, in pairs, or in combinations of three or more."

People take vitamins and supplements with good intentions of health and vitality. From an ayurvedic perspective,vitamins and supplements are so far removed from their original source that they lack Prana. 
Prana is the Sanskrit word for energy or vital life force.  Prana is the energy that makes up the universe, the sun, the earth It is especially powerful in all that is alive: fish, birds, man, plants & fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Foods high in Prana are the best way to stay healthy. The farther that  food is from its source, the less prana it will have and the more tamasic it becomes.  Canned frozen, or preserved foods are low or completely void of prana and cannot provide the same level of nutrients as fresh organic foods. The same is true of vitamins and supplements which are not only so far removed from their their original source ,but many are also  synthetically made thus making them devoid of any kind of vital energy.
