The data provided in your article about the supplement industry being worth upwards of $30 billion annually in the USA alone is staggering. That's a lot of coin for folks to be doling out on products with remarkably little science to back them up, or so it seems.

I do not recommend multivitamins. When people ask me which one to use, I ask standard questions to potential deficiencies such as dietary restrictions (vegan, no dairy, etc) and even then I try to recommend a single supplement. Big Pharma at least is required to provide the burden of proof. Big placebo....not so much
