Now, in certain circumstances, like some diseases and nutritional deficiencies, supplements are certainly called for. With an otherwise healthy person a good healthy diet of regular food will cover all your needs perfectly well. The body has adjusted to that during Evolution.

What he said, I don't need to be kicking hell out of my kidneys by ODing on vitamins. Eat good stuff, don't snack or eat later than 1900 or 2000. It is pretty easy to do when you live where like half the produce in the world is grown. I can't even recall the last time I ate fast food. I read a paper once that said if you quit eating crap out of a can and/or loaded with preservatives that you reduce your chance of cancer pretty significantly.
I don't have a garden and fruit trees because I like having dirty hands, it is because I like to eat.
I do take melatonin at night sometimes though.
