Tesco Value Multivitamins x30 pack.
Usually 39p per pack but on 3 for 2 instore so 3 packs for 78p.
They have 3 for 2 on a number of vitamins/ minerals / supplements
Bought yesterday in Chester le Street Tesco and just now at Hexham Tesco Extra so probably national Deal ends 5th March.
Handy saving when you have to take these daily as per doctors orders following Roux-en-Y surgery and dramatic weight loss (24st 》13 st) or even if you haven't.

I know these are very cheap, and thanks for posting but, unlike most vitamins, they don't give 100% of any of the vitamins you need.
Of course, these will be helpful to some people but I just thought I'd point out, in a helpful way, that you won't get all of your vitamins from these tablets.

Possibly, but an overdose of certain vitamins would be worse.

Food is supposed to give you 100% of the vitamins you need and it does do that effectively. There's no logical reason to consume these. Also unlike pharmaceutical drugs where the bioavailability is known and the quantity of active ingredient know, these have unknown bioavailability and unknown quantity of active ingredients.
This is a case of assumption being the mother of stupidity >
I know I need vitamins, I assume I might not get all the vitamins I need from my diet, I assume that taking a multi vitamin will actually do me some good, it can't be harmful can it? Well to be honest I just assumed it's filling in a worry gap, I worry therefore I consume.
Multi vitamins are consumed because of assumption not because of any valid scientific backing. You have fallen foul of assumption if you consume multi vitamins and haven't researched the above.
Multi Vitamins have no scientific backing, consuming them out of assumption is to be blunt stupid.

Most people can get their required vitamins from their food, unfortunately due to loosing a couple of feet of bowel and most of my stomach I can't absorb the necessary quantity from a healthy diet so require as per my doctor daily vitamin tablets,quarterly B12 injections,daily calcium supplements, Ferrous Fumarate (iron) tablets etc etc.

I'm sorry to hear this. Yes and you will be taking pharmaceutical preparations based on your NEED because of your medical complaint whereby the bioavailability is known and the quantity of active ingredient standardised. Just as alcoholics need Vitamin B1 Thiamine due to their alcoholism.
Multi Vitamins are not the same thing, they are not for any known medical complaint which requires you intake every essential vitamin and mineral, also as I've stated the vitamin supplements from the Doctor are to treat a medical complaint are specific and pharmaceutical standard.
I could be wrong but I imagine your Doctor hasn't prescribed that you go down to Tesco and pick up some 78p Multi Vitamins to treat your medical condition, if he or she has get them up before the GMC and get them struck off.
