Unless you are very knowledgeable about vitamins or need a nutrient for medical reasons, you should always take a multivitamin. Taking one type of vitamin can can induce vitamin deficiencies in another. Too much Vitamin C can cause a deficiency in B12. according to this article.
It seems that we may also need to know our genetic predispositions to certain illnesses with regards to vitamins. An example put forward is excluding extra folate if there are risk factors for cancer.

This supplementation really is a minefield taking into account risk factors, contra-indications with prescribed medications and now the interactions of vitamins.
As most of us have a high intake of Vitamin C with our diet, does this influence the synergies I wonder?
