Okay so I have started taking biotin for my hair but in the back of the label it tells me that biotin is also an Essential vitamin aiding in fat metabolism and I've read online that biotin helps the bodies metabolism as well. I was wondering if there are any other essential vitamins out there that could help me in my weight loss journey ??
Thanks guys,
Kayla ♥♥♥

    Not really,

    most of the multivitamins that you can buy go right through the body and aren't metabolized at all, if you are getting enough from your diet then the body doesn't take in any more (this is why vitamin C tablets turn your pee a really bright orange/yellow colour)

    Just focus on eating fruit/veg at LEAST once a day, (the more the better I think) and you wont need any vitamin supplements.

    Vitamins don't help aid fat loss.. a calorie deficit does. Vitamins are to supplement where nutrition is not available. You can get all the vitamins through nutrition if you manage your macro and micronutrients.
