Are There Any Vitamins That Can Help Me Lose Weight?

February 1, 2009 -- Question: Are there any vitamins that can help me lose weight?

Answer: Vitamins aren't directly involved in losing weight. However, they can be a nice addition to a healthy, balanced diet. It's hard sometimes to get all of the food and nutrients that we need. So, by taking just a general multivitamin, you can make sure that you're getting everything even when your diet's falling a little bit short. Outside of that the majority of vitamins and supplements that are taken individually and combined can really lead to some problems if you're not careful. So stick with that multivitamin and you'll be safe.
