    Vitamins don't have anything to do with weight. In fact, there is very little research to indicate that people who take a multi-vitamin are healthier or live longer than people who don't. What is pretty important is to eat a wide variety of nutrient dense foods and check your micronutrients so make sure you are getting all of them.

    William it would be responsible to explain your point of view. Do you have any links to studies or explanations of how it would work?

    Vitamins of the B kind sometimes make you hungry, they kind of tend to increase the appetite. So working out with weights and increasing protein intake and more vitamins could be good. But I guess what matters is how much and what mactronutrients you eat and whether you work out to build muscles.

    No. Eat in a calorie surplus of between 300-500 cals and the weight will come. Simples!
