I've read a lot of science papers about this subject and a lot of them say that oral intake of multivitamins aren't beneficial. Some even state that people who use them, will live shorter! :O

If you would like to supplement your diet with a multi, stay away from the mega doses. They are, generally, not healthful. Excess fat soluble vitamins can accumulate in the body and reach toxic levels if taken in high doses. Most excess water soluble vitamins will be excreted but can tax your system.
You might also have a look at liquid multis.
All things being equal, liquid multivitamins will be assimilated more completely than a tablet (because they are already in liquid form and require less digestion prior to absorption).
You also don't need to take a multi every day. For example, I take a liquid every three or four days and it works best for me.
If you can afford it, a nutritionist can recommend a balanced diet and you may not need a multi.
This is definitely a YMMV area.
Good luck.
