Eli5: Why are multivitamins inferior to fruits/vegetables?

1.02K viewsBiologyOther

Every article I read says you should primarily get your vitamins through fruits and vegetables and other whole foods rather than multivitamin pills. But if you look at the nutritional facts on say, a bag of spinach or cup of fruit, the % daily value seems way lower than a regular multivitamin, and you’d need to eat a ton of fruits/veggies to get a comparable intake (a single serving of spinach is usually almost an entire bag).

What am I missing?

It’s why they are called daily vitamins. You have to take them daily so your body learns how to absorb them more efficiently than the fruit and vegetables enemies haha
