If you take supplements, doesn't your body adapt and they slowly become ineffective? A bit like a lot of medications? Hayfever relief tablets for example get less and less effective, as do antidepressants like Citalopram etc.
Yes and No but what a lot of people do not understand is with these multi vitamins they can cancel each other out and you either build up too much in some of them with others wasted being released in urine/stools.
The medications you mentioned work in different way.
There is no need for multi vitamins for normal healthy people.
If you need to take something you take the ones you may need like say you coming down with a cold so you boost up to help but not too much
The only people that really need to take large amounts are ones that have health issues.
The other thing is a lot of vitamins take about 3 months to show real effect so if someone say takes only vitamin d for few months classed as winter that is wrong you take it before winter this is one which in this country a lot of people could do with taking all the time.
A fair amount of people may not even know they are taking too much you can overdose on vitamins it just doesn't tend to kill you quickly but it does damaged like you hear when the stories say causes cancer so on this is due to long term build up.
Younger people that are healthy just eat a correct diet you will be fine it will provide almost everything you need.
