Answer 1

The difference is you can overdose on vitamins from suppliments, but not from vitamins in food.

Generally you don’t need to take additional vitamins if you don’t have a deficit.

For water soluble vitamins, there is no real danger as any excess is simply peed out. So suppliments are just a waste of money in that case.
Fat soluable vitamins are more dangeroes as they stay in your body and as you know reducing fat is not that easy, losing any exces vitamins stored in fat is equally hard.
