To be honest, that whole Vimmortal story seems rather ludicrous to me in restrospect.
The prime motivation behind creating Vimmortal was that some people obsessed about supposedly harmful "excessive" amounts of B-vitamins - which in fact have never been shown to cause any harm. So they created what essentially was an ordinary RDAish multivitamin like Centrum, with the differences that it did 1) contain fancy "activated" forms of some vitamins, which have been much hyped by certain supplement companies but hardly ever shown in scientific studies to provide any benefits over the ordinary forms; 2) cost 10 times as much; 3) come with much more bulk so it required you to swallow 6(?) pills a day and 4) that bulk was mostly due to the large dose (RDA) of cholin it contained, which not only tends to cause stomach upset if consumed in large supplemental doses but has recently been linked to heart disease via gut metabolism of TMAO. So ironically, while obsessing about completely benign B vitamins in common multivitamins, they have created a multivitamin containing a large dose of the only nutrient that is now mechanistically linked to possible harmful effects.
IMHO the real psychological motivation behind Vimmortal was the desire for differentiation. People here like to (rightfully or not) think of themselves as an elite in all things longevity and supplementation and they just don't like the idea of taking a mulivitamin available at Walmart. So they have to come up with all kinds of objections/rationalizations why such multivitamins are to be considered inferior, regardless of whether they really are if kept in perspective of the evidence.
Now Food's Adam as well as LEF's Two-per-Day are well-formulated but generally overdosed multivitamins. They are fine if you just halve the dose and take one instead of two per day. Or just take Centrum Silver, which is the only MMV that has actually been shown in a large RCT to reduce the risk of cancer.
(The link above also explains why you should ignore such articles indiscriminately warning against multivitamin supplements).
