Well your answer is Yes and No
Multivitamins work partially to uplift your values in your body when you are deficient of certain micronutrients but it’s not absorbed fully just maybe 30-40% is hardly absorbed & hardly 20% utilised so a better way is consuming through natural food sources as our body knows how to process them and utilise them in our body
No because you cannot take any supplement for lifetime as it starts leaving behind its residue and if you aren’t doing some serious clean-up if your body regularly like taking of “water enema” , water fasting or waman Kriya it won’t be of any help
Next Steps
So consult a doctor for the same
