Definitely they have but not in brands typically found in grocery stores. Look at brands like PureEncapsulations, Thorne, and Swanson for example.

I personally take PureEncapsulations ONE multivitamin daily.

Be careful with vitamin E... too much is NOT a good thing. And yes, there is more than one kind each with different bioavailability.

A lot of multivitamins don’t include minerals, especially iron.

In the US, I wouldn’t take a vitamin without the USP label:

There’s no government oversight of vitamins and supplements, but at least USP might give the veneer of some verification.

I read somewhere that a large part of the "quality" of vitamin pills come down to how crumbly they are. Small dense vitamins are so good. Big pills are.
