Examine, a source I generally trust, recommends vitamin D supplementation [0] while also noting that its benefits have been overstated [1]. They do agree that vitamin E, however, should not generally be supplemented [2] I find the "Don't Take Your Vitamins" title to be especially linkbaity and misleading. The reality is closer to: "you probably don't gain anything by taking some vitamins." Examine notes that vitamin D is both safe and cost effective, so there is very little downside to taking it even if the magnitude and certainty of benefit is still somewhat unclear.
