Reply to comment by BoOtto in Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow up period, researchers found that the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest effects seen among those with severe deficiencies. by Wagamaga
I'll agree with that, especially since you admit that the hard evidence for supplements are not as strong as the #MehmetOz crowd would have you believe. (outside of corner cases)
PS - By corner cases I mean specific deficiencies, diseases, disorders, pregnancy, etc. Because most of the time for otherwise healthy individuals supplements don't do much. There is a lot of good science behinds this despite not being absolutely completely settled.
TIL While useful for those with dietary deficiencies, multivitamins offer no real benefit to the majority of the population. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found no clear evidence that consuming multivitamins "made them healthier in any way." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/yghx80/til_while_useful_for_those_with_dietary/
