Started vitamins, now silver jewelry is turning black

I have a customer who recently started taking a multivitamin. She said her sterling jewelry has suddenly turned black. Any connection between the two that you might suggest?
Thanks,

Sounds like the addition has increased her body acidity. Either way, just coat the body side of the jewelry with clear fingernail polish or similar. Clear surface first with acetone ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] Warning! highly Flammable! or fingernail polish remover for bonding.
