Vitamins can't directly help you to feel full as they do not contain any calories. However, in order for your body to use the carbohydrates, protein and fat in the foods that you eat as fuel in your body, you need to have adequate amounts of vitamins, as well as minerals and water. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat provide calories, and in food along with fiber and water, can make you feel full.
