Like everyone else has said, getting all of your vitamins through your diet is best, but nearly impossible. A multivitamin is the best way to make sure your body gets everything that it needs.
Another thing woth mentioning is that excessive vitamin use can have toxic effects. Too much B6 can lead to nerve damage and numbness of extremities, too much vitamin A could make you go bald, a vitamin D overdose may lead to calcium deposits in the heart and blood vessels.
If you're taking a multivitamin, don't take extra thinking that it'll make you healthier. Not all vitamins are water-soluble (meaning that you pee out the excess that your body doesn't need), some just sit in your liver waiting to cause havoc.
