Hi gang-
I normally take a chewable vitamin but I had run out and just wasn't able to get to the store for a few days. I found some regular (swallowable) multi-vitamins that were still good in my cabinet and decided to take those until I could get to the store. I didn't put 2 and 2 together right away--but I noticed I was very uncharacteristically HUNGRY for several days. It was so weird and I was wondering WTH was wrong?? Well I didn't take my multi-vitamin today and realized I was back at my regular hunger level which is very little. So I started thinking...did the multi vitamin make me really hungry??
I went on Yahoo and ran a search for "multi-vitamins make me hungry" and found tons of topics on various forums about this! Apparently it's not experienced by everyone but there were a LOT of people out there who said the same thing as me. They all said that once they stopped taking the multi vitamin--their hunger level returned to normal. So weird! Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, did you find a vitamin that works better without increasing your hunger? This question wouldn't apply to anyone who has never experienced this obviously lol.
And just so people don't think I'm crazy--I found an article by a doctor that said although he had no research to prove it-- he had many patients complain of much higher hunger levels after taking multi vitamins.

I really can't say if my multi-vitamin makes me hungry or not because I take it right before bedtime for that very reason. I really don't remember how I know this, it's just one of those things I have always known - you need to take a multi-vitamin late at night so you will be sleeping if it increases your hunger. I never thought about whether some brands do and some don't. I just assumed it was true for all.
Hi
My multi makes me super hungry.In fact I have tried a few and there is a remarkable difference on he days I just dont take one.
Having said that when I tried taking it at night I was awake until 4.
It like exercise.Som people says it is lke an appetite suppressant...well,I am ravenous all day after exercise.
Which chewable did you take before?
