In addition there is the discussion of whether supplements are effective at all. Our doctor said it can't hurt to take the supplement and could not attest to effectiveness.
My doctor did a series of blood tests to check my vitamin levels. I was very low on many of them and now take B-12 shots and several other vitamins that I am deficient.
