Matt Kelly explains why most people don't get enough micronutrients from food alone. Water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins work differently in your body, and a cheap multivitamin can fill the gaps your diet leaves behind.

Look, a multi's gonna have your water-soluble and a few fat-soluble vitamins, but minerals and trace minerals, you don't know over time if your diet's providing you really enough of all of those. And especially when we get to trace minerals and certain of the vitamins, it probably isn't. So it's a fairly inexpensive way to have a little bit of health reassurance as far as filling in the gaps, et cetera. Now, All the water-soluble things, the B vitamins, vitamin C, the minerals, they kind of go in and out of our body. We store some of them, we don't store a lot of them. But I don't think that the average human under normal cosmopolitan conditions that we live under probably gets enough of all of the micronutrients that they need.
