PamelaAM 16 Posted October 21, 2010 I can't do chewable vitamins. The chalky consistency gags me. So I have resorted to gummies and those do not have the minerals that we need. I just ran across this product and have requested samples to try. I am so excited that there is another option for those of us who can't do the chewables.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleeveorbust 11 Posted October 21, 2010 thats definitely a great alternative... i use a liquid Vitamin and mineral supplement that greatly increases the absorption of the Vitamins. I think they are great because I just put the drops in my shakes and dont have to worry about not getting my vitamins in. http://ambayagold.com/super-conductive_vitamins.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lunarose 97 Posted October 21, 2010 I usually have to cut the taste of chewables with a Fiber Choice to cut the taste. I am definitely going to look into this thanks. nancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cukiemunstr 2 Posted October 29, 2010 Just a quick update..after reading this post, I ordered these and they came today. I love them. One thing you do have to be careful of and it warns you on the box is not to get too much on your tongue at once. I had a little bit go up the back of my nose and OUCH! I won't do that again, but I am definitely using these from now on. They are awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so excited that there is another option for those of us who can't do the chewables.< /p> What minerals do we not get from adult gummies? That is what I take, and the only thing they have me do differently is I take a liquid B12 Complete. I am with you, the chalky multi vit are horrible. I know my surgeon and his staff want his patients to find stuff that they like because they know that will make it more likely that we'll take them daily for the rest of our lives! Tell me what you know about the gummies!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M2G 1,836 Posted October 30, 2010 I too, was told that gummies were ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristykreem 0 Posted October 30, 2010 What gummies do y'all use? I've virtually stopped taking my chewable vitamins because they make me sick. I can do the grape Iron chewable, it's the orange flavored Multi-Vitamin that gags me. Just writing about it makes me feel sick. I'm 17 days post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erikavonne 4 Posted October 30, 2010 How do the AlternaVites taste? Is it sweet? Tangy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PamelaAM 16 Posted October 30, 2010 I had ordered samples but they've never come so I guess I will just order a regular order and give it a try. I've been doing the One A Day gummies and they simply don't have all of the Iron and mnerals that I know we need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trouble 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks for he info. I can handle the Iron chewables that I got from my doctor but the Calcium and Multivitamin I get sick of taking. I find myself skipping days just because I don't want to eat them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
