Vitamins & Halitosis: Vitamins and supplements can cause gastrointestinal upset and can exacerbate bad breath. Gastrointestinal upset may not be evident. Best to get your nutrients from a balanced, healthy diet. Look at http://www.Hsph.Harvard.Edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/ for great guidelines on foods to eat.

Maybe: The vitamins may be causing some acid reflux which can cause bad breath. The two problems could also not be related at all. I would try different vitamins to see what happens.
