I us3ed to take liquid vitamins when I was a kid. They were gross.

I only take vitamin C tablets when I'm going to crowded places, or I've been around sick people, as a precaution.

I sometimes take vitamin B as an energy boost or when I'm feeling stressed.

Other than that, I get my nutrients from my foods, and have a very strong immune system.

I take vitamins. I need all the help I can get.

Besides, I feel SOOOO much better when I take them - more energy, better sleep, clearer mind. I don't expect them to cure cancer or prevent heart disease but if they help me along those lines then, great. I also think they've helped me a GREAT deal with weight loss.

That's what I get from my B vitamins, NA - I really enjoy the immediate results and how they make me feel.

I once heard vitamins described as "expensive pee"

As with vitamin C, B vitamin supplements are unlikely to provide any impact for the reason that if you are eating a reasonably healthy diet you are already getting all of them that you body can absorb. So if you're getting all your other vitamins from diet you should be good on the Bs too.

Excess just gets flushed out through your kidneys. So unless you have an absorption disorder requiring megadoses of B vitamins they likely aren't doing anything.
