A member asked:

Can multivitamins cause weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not in moderation: While there is some sugar and starch included in a multivitamin ( more in the chewables), taking one multivitamin a day in and by itself will not cause weight gain. In fact it may help you meet your goals.
