I know it's considered a big fat myth but I swear taking multivitamins makes me hungry beyond reason. If I skip it a few days my appetite plummets, when I resume them I'm voracious within a few days again. WTH??

(Yes I know if I ate strictly clean I wouldn't even have to post crap like this, lol, but I don't so I'm sure I could use a bit of help reaching a few RDAs, hence my use of MVTs)

    Taking a vitamin shouldn't affect appetite. Maybe it is something in the pill affecting you... try switching brands.

    This happens whenever I take a specific kind of supplement. My everday multivitamin and my calcium supplement don't affect me but I used to take an iron supplement in addition and that thing drove me crazy! I think it's a matter of brand, vitamin, and what you're eating around it. Good luck to you xx

    Same thing happened with me on centrum- so I took a different multivitamin.

    I don't like hving too many meds in me- I'm already on one for the rest of my life.

    Well it may be a myth...but taking a multivitamin has always made me hungry. I only take fish oil supplements now and try to get my vitamins from food.
