A vitamin should never be considered a food supplement. Vitamins are meant to be used in addition to a healthy diet. When you are dieting it is especially important to take a multivitamin just in case you are not getting the daily requirements of all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly. The easiest way to tell you are getting enough vitamins and minerals without a vitamin supplement is your urine. If you take a vitamin and your body doesn't need all of its contents the vitamins and minerals that are not needed are going to be excreted in your urine. Normally this will make your urine an extremely rich golden yellow color.
