Bad odors are often associated with infection of the nose or sinuses; occasionally even with a dental infection.  You should first get a complete exam of your nose and throat by an ENT specialist and treatment for whatever infection is found.

Some medicines can also cause bad or at least unusual odors.  Unlikely to be vitamins but you might want to hold the vitamins for a week or two.

A condition called atrophic rhinitis can also do this.  It is associated with excessive dryness of the membrane lining the nose.  There is no specific treatment, but keeping the nose moist with nasal washes and the use of a water-based lubricant may help.  To learn more about this technique please read our nasal wash treatment information by copying and pasting this address
