People need to realise that health does not have to cost a lot of money. Many of the products sold for high dollar amounts in health food stores are designed to make money for the manufacturer - not to get you as healthy as possible for the smallest amount of money.
As an example, a "complete" multivitamin contains:
Vitamin A (Vitamin A Acetate, 29% Beta Carotene)
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin D (DL-Alpha Tocopherol, Ergocolciferol)
Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate)
Vitamin K (Phytonadione)
Thiamin (Thiamine Mononitrate)
Riboflavin
Niacin
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)
Folic Acid
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)
