No, more like artificial and contain residue from production that is not found in normal food. That stuff is not studied enough for us to tell you what would happen if you only took your vitamins from artificial sources.

Anon, i'd say just skip the vitamins and the force feeding and just eat Normal food i.e. not kfc all day everyday. Eat homecooked meals half of the time and no deficiency will / CAN come.
