Can you point to any studies that show the benefits of your vitamin regimen? You point out there are no studies on long term fasting but I am also unable to find the studies on the benefits of vitamins.

This is a fair point. In fact, most research seems to point to the fact that vitamins don't really do anything. I just do it out of habit.

Most nutritional studies are worthless.

Studies of taking vitamins aren’t nutritional studies in the sense of “diet”. They’re more similar to studies of drugs and can be reliable.

When it comes to vitamins, the typical, North American diet is likely deficient based on the following behaviors.

  I am inside all day and get no sun - Vitamin D
  I do not eat wild caught fish - Omega 3s
  I am vegan - B12
  I do not eat greens daily - Multivitamin + Magnesium Theronate/Glycinate
Most people are D & Omega 3 deficient. Also a bulk of folks are Magnesium deficient unless they are eating greens daily.

examine.com is a pretty good resource on supplements.
