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?

A lot of good reasoning on the actual reasons in other comments so i wont double down on that. The bottomline is the multivitamins and other supplements are just that… supplements. Eat real, whole fruits, veggies, and lean meats first and foremost. Supplement with vitamins for a little extra kick.
