Hye.
Supplements are to be taken only when your body's needs are high or if you have a deficiency of a particular nutrient.
Supplements do not replace meals or a healthy diet.
A supplement can only be as good as your diet is.
So, if your basic diet is not good supplementation is not of much use. And in fact if supplements are just randomly added to the diet without evaluating the body's needs, it can cause mild to severe side effects.

Hey. Thank you for your query.
Whether to take multivitamin or vitamin d or calcium depends on the deficiency or medical disorder you suffer from.
You cannot randomly take supplements. Supplements only help if your body needs them.

Hye, Thanks for the query.
Gaining weight requires you to eat more calories than you burn. Although fried or sugary foods are calorie dense, eating them exclusively won’t provide enough nutrition to keep you energetic and healthy. Eating several meals and snacks throughout the day and including nutritious, calorie-dense food will help you gain weight healthfully.
