Writing about three new papers in the Annals of Internal Medicine that find no benefits for the use of multivitamins — only the latest in a long line of negative findings — Eliseo Guallar and colleagues write: …we believe that the case is closed— supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful. These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.

Studies dont indicate about the participants diet. May be they are getting enough vitamins from their diet so any extra supplement wont help here. In one of the case studies participants are doctors itself who I assume take good care of themselves. It all depend on the sample they are taking. My 2 cents is if your diet is full of green stuff you dont need any vitamin capsules.
