All the vitamins which our body needs could theoretically be had if we had a mixed diet including some protective foods. Vitamin pills without the back up of a balance diet can hardly give us any benefit.
Vitamin supplements on the other hand are deemed necessary for our body - especially when there is lack of dietary intake of vitamins. Such conditions are common in situations like chronic diseases, post delivery, post surgery and also during pregnancy when the need for vitamins is acute.
The need for vitamin supplements varies with age and other factors. It is rare to find that only one type of vitamin is missing from the diet. Usually vitamin deficiencies occur when multiple vitamins are missing from the daily diet. Thus vitamin supplements should contain a balanced supply of several vitamins.
