The problem with taking too many vitamins
Everything I've read about this in recent years seems to boil down to one simple rule of thumb: Supplement vitamin D and forget about everything else.

Or you could go to your doctor where they can do tests and get an idea about what you are and are not deficient in.

EDIT: As per the article, children need A, C, and D, and women wanting to get (or who are) pregnant need some other vitamins.
But yes, mostly don't bother with anything apart from D.

Eat mountains of fresh vegetables and fruit and other whole foods and you'll get what you need. Hard part of this - keeping your fridge stocked with them.

Yeah, my doctor recommends 5000 IUs of D3 for the north bay area.

Interesting, particularly since recent recommendations say that 4000 IUs should be the maximum dose. Any reason why s/he recommended 5k?
