I can't believe you typed all that out!!! You're hands must be tired.

WIth that said, I wouldn't be concerned about adding a few mg here or there of a vitamin as most vitamins will be peed out in excess. If you are concerned about a particular one, look it up on the web for information on excessive amounts for that particular one.

I personally take l-carnatine, coq10, and chromium. There have preliminary studies suggesting that these pills aid in speeding up the metabolism. However, the FDA doesn't feel there is suffiencient evidence to approve them and doesn't regulate them. They won't hurt you to try them (no you aren't taking them in your multivitamin), but be forewarned....they are expensive (chromium isn't).

One that Atkins recommends for an appetite suppressant is l-glutamine. That may help if you find yourself with raging cravings.

Hope this helps.
