Most studies have not shown a definitive health benefit of a daily MVM supplement for men like you. However, a recent clinical trial, published online Jan. 18, 2024, by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggests taking MVMs may help delay cognitive decline in older adults.
For the trial, 573 participants were given baseline cognitive and memory tests. Half were given one standard MVM daily, and the other half took a placebo. Both groups were unaware of which one they were given. The study participants were retested again after two years. The people who took the MVM scored slightly higher on the memory and cognitive tests than those who took the placebo.

The grocery and drugstore shelves are full of other supplements, which are heavily promoted for all kinds of health benefits, most of which have no scientific evidence to support their use. It’s always best to check with the pharmacist or doctor before taking any individual supplement.

That isn’t really any better than the other link, it’s pretty hard to be vitamin-deficient enough to e.g. develop scurvy even if you eat only junkfood (AFAIK even french fries contain some amount of vitamin C, and most burgers have raw lettuce and tomato). Early Sailors ate literally nothing but bread (hard tack), cured meat and perhaps fish for months at a time.
