Weight gain: No, you will not gain weight from vitamins and minerals. Weight gain comes from foods with calories (carbs, protein, fat). If you eat more after taking the vitamins, you may gain weight.

No, they do not: Vitamins and supplements do not generally cause weight gain. There is definitely a polarization on the topic of vitamins and supplements in the medical community. Some will say they are a waste of money, others recognize value and benefit. Eating healthy is always a good idea whether you choose to supplement or not. Good luck!

No: No, you do not gain weight from eating capsules but you are generally better eating healthy foods. It is rare to need supplementation of vitamins and minerals if you eat well (lots of fruit and vegetables) The exceptions are generally iron, particularly in women, and vitamin D in the right populations. A run of the mill multivitamin is likely not harmful but most of it does right out in urine.
