Do you think these are worth taking?  Do taking vitamins in general help wth weight loss?

    I tried them - they made no difference to my weight loss, and actually made me feel a little nauseated if I didn't take them with food.  Just take a regular multi-vitamin.

    They make you pee a lot so drink LOTS of water (which you should do anyway when losing weight), and give a good caffiene boost. I don't mind them, but I bought them because they were the only Women's ones available at the time.

    Vitamins generally don't work for weight loss. I would take a regular multi vitamin.

    I'd recommend against it.

    You should track your vitamins and minerals, see where you're lacking, and take those specific vitamins if you really want to take vitamins.

    The only "weight loss" element in these is caffeine.  If caffeine has any adverse effects on you I'd recommend against taking them.  Also, caffeine isn't really enough of a metabolic boost to cause that much weight loss on its own; you're far better off planning a workout regime to get in shape and shed some pounds.

    I've taken a multi-vitamin for years and this is the only one I have ever taken that has made me so incredibly sick to my stomach.  Even after a few weeks of taking them they still continued to make me feel nauseated.  I would recommend against this.  There are plenty of other reputable companies that make quality multi-vitamins.
