Yeah, that's why I eat real food and don't take any supplements.
same here, my body craves foods containing anything it needs, I havint had those sorts of cravings in years so according to the last blood workup I did, my calcium was just a little low, everything else was just fine

there really is no use for vitamin pills when you're having a healthy varied diet.

I'm of the camp that prefers to get everything I need from the food I eat 
When my body is deficient in something and needs it, I crave certain foods and eat them.
Done a lot of reading on nutrition and I'm pretty convinced that vitamins and supplements are no replacement for getting all of them from the food you eat.
They key is just eating a healthy and diverse diet..

Im a vitamin junkie:
- B complex
- K2 w/ D3
- L-tryptophan
- Spirulina
- Phenibut
- SamE
- multivitamin
- calcium magnesium and zinc
- vitamin C
- multi-enzyme
I supplement so heavily mainly because I dont eat meat and miss out on many of those otherwise.
the only way to get K-2 other than meat is natto, and things like l-tryptophan i can get from pea protein, but really how often do I keep natto and pea protein around? Only place I get D3 from otherwise is the sun. It can be even tougher getting complex aminos.

I find that I get a headchange from the mix of vitamins i intake.
I try to get a complete protein profile anyway, but it just hedges my bets when a particular day falls short (especially with my feasting and fasting tendency)

No reason for vitamin supplements unless you aren't getting enough of certain ones. I've stopped taking them because I've never noticed any difference when taking daily multiples. As far as I can tell they might as well be sugar pills.
