Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 21, 2012 Anyone know where I can get a good chewable Vitamin C? I went to look for one today at target and all of them had sugar as first ingredient. I could not find any sugar free brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AStephenson 159 Posted October 25, 2012 I can guess why they all have sugar as the first ingredient! I take 1000 mg. daily in caplet form and when that baby touches my tongue...SOUR!! Not sure where you are in your journey (I'm pre-sleeve) but could you take a regular pill with some food? That's what I'm hoping to do as when I take it on an empty stomach it kills me.

Thanks, but I don't need any more reasons to throw up. The Multi-Vitamin by Celebrate caused me to be sick for 20 minutes this morning, losing all other Vitamins and my Breakfast. I really do need to find a multi that can stay down, even when mixed with other supplements like b50 and B12. I am almost 4 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I switched to GNC's women's formula Vitamin and am doing well now. It's just a regular Vitamin. Saved me tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I will switch to GNC mens formula and see if that helps. I used to take them in my earlier life pre- sleeve. My only concern is that they are not complete enough for sleevers. Do we need to take 2 doses, perhaps 1 in morning and 1 in evening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carly 56 Posted October 26, 2012 I don't think so. I looked at the levels and they were comparable to BA and Celebrate. The daily dosage for the women's is two tablets per day anyway tho,but I don't think that taking four would be wise. Just my opinion tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 1, 2012 I just bought a product from trader joes called "vitamin c crystals." The claim is faster absorption because no fillers in crystal form. The dose is 1/4 teaspoon and can be added to Water or a juice. It tastes like lemon honey to me. It is 5 calories a serving and provides 1000 mg. they recommend taking it before and after a meal, but that applis to non sleevers so do abide by the standard 30 minute buffers around eating. You might try it as an alternative to sugar tablets or big horse c pills.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
