Gummie Multi Vitimans...Thoughts anyone?



Recommended Posts

These chewable ones are the ones I'm going to try... http://www.drugstore.com/centrum-silver-chewables-multivitamin-and-multimineral-chewable-tablets-citrus-berry/qxp141311 waiting for them to be delivered... has anyone tried these ? hope they're not gross...

If not... These are the gummies I was going to try' date=' best i can find from my researching so far... but they're missing a lot compared to the first one http://www.drugstore.com/one-a-day-vitacraves-gummies-complete-adult-multivitaminmultimineral-supplement/qxp266216?catid=180675[/quote']

I take those...they're not the silver ones though - just for adults (not older adults). But they're orange flavored and I don't mind the taste at all.

I have been taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins that were recommended by the surgeon's office. They recommended them so strongly and signed me up for auto delivery, they have to be getting a commission on the orders.

I was looking at everything closely today (since my New Year's resolution is to do a better job of taking my vitamins) and was shocked to see that between the multi-vitamins and the Calcium chewables they have 170 calories. 170 calories!!! That's just not right.

I take a Gummy from costco that has all but Iron and B12. I take a sublingual b12 and a separate Iron chewable (chocolate which masks the flavor) as well as separate Calcium (as you shouldn't take calcium with iron). I like the gummies from costco and they are recommended by my surgeon and nut WITH the added others. It works for me. :) My blood work keeps coming back great.

Why no calcium with iron?

I take 2 flintstones a day. It's the only one I can stand and it was listed on our sheet as a viable Vitamin choice.

I still struggle trying to find Calcium though. I see a lot of people mentioning Gummy calcium but in my experience they are all the wrong calcium (carbonate). If anyone knows otherwise do let me know.

I take the Viactiv calcium chews, they taste great.
