Its a misnomer that vitamins are taken to GAIN weight or to Lose weight. Vitamins, as khumzi explained, are part of natural growth and must be included in our daily nutritions. Deficiency of any vitamin [water or fat soluble] can lead to many problems in your body.
Water soluble vitamins found in our body as used for biochemical pathways in building up proteins/fat/dna/rna etc etc. Water soluble vitamins, such as Vitamine C or B - get secreted out of ur water thru urin - thats y not much of toxicity.
Fat soluble are A, D E, K which have to get absorb in our gut in order to supply our body and are essential for body parts as Eyes, bones, skin, cartilage, collagen, coagulation factors etc etc.
Your friend is taking vitamin to have the balance amount of them in her body - not to gain weight. It helpps grow ur body not weight
