When did he do this, and what kind was it? I would make a call to the vet about this; some vitamins have sugarless sweeteners that are very harmful to pets. Also some levels of a certain vitamin, for example vitamin A, can be toxic. Some problems don't show up immediately, and it's always best to check with the vet about this.

Don't ever let your dog hump your arm; stop the behavior immediately. He will also do this on guests, and this is very poor behavior, and a sign that he believes he is the boss. You can allow your dog to hump objects like blankets and stuffed toys; they even make some toys for this purpose. Obviously, if he's overdoing it, and gets irritated, you might want to do something, maybe more exercise. Neutering stops this behavior in some, but not all, dogs.

He's about the age to get him neutered, while peeing and marking look like the same thing, they are not, but since he's lifting his leg, I would get him neutered before he starts marking.
