My hubby was fed up with my low mood/lethargy in winter, so he went for them for me. I was convinced I suffered from SAD but wasn't convinced a vitamin would help, but it has @punkdoc. 😁
"If you have a good diet, you shouldn't need them."
I suspect this is a myth that it about to be overturned. I think most people in the UK are nowhere near getting enough zinc, calcium, Vit D. Speaking to my endocrinologist yesterday, he says he thinks most people should be on high strength multivits generally.
I think the problem is that most of the UK population do not have a good diet.
True. There is also evidence that many soils are badly depleted in minerals & other micro nutrients, due to intensive growing methods. So even apparently good nutritious food, may not be as good as we think. Another reason to grow our own organically if we can.
There is good evidence that many people in the UK are deficient in Vit. D, especially the further north you go. Dietary Vit. D is not enough, some has to be "manufactured" via contact with the sun.

You're probably right @fidgetbones. It's a nice idea @Allotment Boy, but it simply isn't feasible for most people.
Too many people eating too much cr*p is certainly a problem though, in all sorts of ways. Slightly off topic, but maybe we need to return to simple food, simply prepared and cooked. We've got used to having it all: too much variety, too much unseasonal produce, and always wanting it cheaper. Hence intensive production. It doesn't detract from the inconsiderate clowns filling their houses, garages, freezers, and any other space they can find with everything they can lay their hands on, and to Hell with everyone else though. Me, me, me.
I can't remember who said it, but 'common' sense seems to be anything but....

Hi @philippa smith2. All I know is that alicin which is the important chemical within garlic is apparently better released this way. To be honest when I cook with it, I just chop it, assuming it will still have some benefit. I believe garlic tablets are useless, irrelevant to me, as I love the taste. It always intrigued me that cooked tomatoes are better for you, than raw tomatoes, which is due to the release of lycopene, a powerful anti oxidant.
