What vitamins boost metabolism

Which ones? I’m looking into taking a few and I’m not sure where to start. I understand some don’t work or others work but only in combinations.

Vitamins don't boost metabolism.17

You can take vitamins but if you aren’t deficient in anything then you will just have some expensive pee. Talk to your doctor and have them run tests and recommend what supplements you need/don’t need to take.7

Try caffeine.
It doesn't boost metabolism, just like vitamins don't, but if you drink/eat unaccustomed amounts of caffeine, it'll make you a little more twitchy so burn a truly trivial additional number of calories through movement/activity. Can't keep increasing beyond accustomed amounts indefinitely, though.
It would be more effective by far to find ways to move a little more, or eat a little less.
Metabolism isn't really much accessible to intentional manipulation, sadly.

Nothing legal will really help with boosting metabolism. The best thing you can do is eat whole foods that are nutrient dense so you don't get nutrient deficiencies. If you do get deficient in some nutrients (like vitamin D), your metabolism can lower. There are a few supplements that I would consider buffers, meaning they may or may not provide a benefit but can help reduce the chases of becoming nutrient deficient. These would be a good multivitamin, whey protein or other protein powder higher in Leucine, possibly vitamin D/vitamin K2 during winter months and fish oil if you have a diet low in omega 3s.
Caffeine and Green Tea Extract (in high enough dosages) can generally boost energy output and improve gym performance.
There are a few other beneficial supplements when it comes to training, but I will let the below thread go into those. I do have to update it, because there are things like melatonin (better sleep improves recovery), Taurine, and tyrosine that can increase relaxation which can improve recovery and intra-workout performance.

I'll be sarcastic here. Vitamin D. That's usually because to get enough vitamin D you have to be outside in the sun and hopefully doing something physical.
