First, there is no FDA testing or regulation of vitamins/supplements. So, you don't really know what you are getting. Many brands have been found to be very impure, relatively useless, and some may contain persticide residue and such. I would not buy anything that does not at least claim to be pharmaceutical grade. Here's one: http://www.usana.com/
Second, be aware that clinical (non industry) studies have shown that the way the body absorbs many of these supplements when presented in processed form is very different from the way it absorbs them in natural form from the raw substances e.g. fruit. So, the benefit of many supplements is very questionable.
Third, most doctors are incredibly ignorant when it comes to nutrician. As Dean points out, their expertise is repair, not prevention. Do your own research and make your own decisions.
