Common vitamins may slow middle-age weight gain?

The weight gain experienced by many of those approaching or in middle age is something many of us don't wish to visit. But, new research out of Seattle has stated that taking chromium, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and multivitamins may indeed help that weight gain subside if you are of middle age.

The research looked at survey response from about 15,000 people in the state of Washington with an average age of 55. Medical histories and supplement use were primary pieces of the survey, and 14 specific supplements were targeted by the researchers once the data was finally collected.

During the decade prior to entering middle age, the consumption of those four supplements was found to cause less weight gain in the 45-55 (roughly) age segment.
