You can't eat enough food to get what you need, particularly if you are deficient in something. My vitamins have a direct effect on my body in ways that food doesn't. Also not everyone can eat what they need, my food allergies eliminate many of the foods that would be of benefit to me.

Try puritan's pride website. They have good quality vitamins, and regular sales. Free shipping with a minimum purchase.

I understand the need for vitamins. I can't eat any fruit - the acid absolutely chews up my mouth. Also, a common condition with fibromyalgia is needing to supplement the food because so few neutrients make it into the blood. Unfortunately my body doesn't tolerate good vitamins so....but I bet others have found something.
