Hi,

I have been taking this same Vitamin now for probably 3 months. I really like it. I used to take the 1 a day O'purity Vitamin from unjury. I like that the ProCare Vitamins are also one a day and are easier to chew than the O'purity (plus they are quite a bit smaller!). I don't like the taste very much! I do have to drink something after I chew them to get the taste out of my mouth. The taste is not unpalatable, however. I also like that they are less expensive than the O'purity at only $10 for a months supply. I would recommend these Vitamins. They were recommended by my NUT.

I got them today and the taste is not bad at all. They are smaller than i thought they would be also. Sure beats taking two Multivitamins a day since this give you 200% of the daily recommended amount. Plus it has the required Iron i'm supposed to take ....Baker_gurl, what other supplements do you take along with this?

Looks to me like the only other thing I would need is my Calcium and D....if I can do this midday (lunch) I can do the others morning and evening and is simplify life!!!!

I was taking Celebrate barIatric chewable multi,with Iron it was gross I'm all about taste. I was informed that it was the best tasting so that leaves me put off by any others...good luck. I take a prenatal Vitamin that had everything in it. Biotin and sublingual B12

[TxDumplin 69]

SoccerMomma73....that is what i was thinking too....Only need the calcium citrate and I'll do those during the day and then take this multivitamin at night before bed. Where is the very best, cheapest place to get Calcium citrate chewables and preferably just two a day and not four to get the 1000 mg required. I was looking at Bariatric Advantage but they won't tell me what shipping will cost until i check out???

Yep both good sources and better priced. they even carry the giant bottle of Gummy Vitamins if you want to take those! Some people are afraid to swallow pills or soft gels I don't know why? I've been taking pills or soft gels since my the day after my surgery. My MD told its likely I will need B12 shots most of her bypass patients do and I may need more Iron as well because we don't absorb the same way. So I will be having labs drawn couple times a year to be proactive and not get deficient in any area.

Im using a High Potency Multi chewable I get from Trader Joe's. I take two a day one in morning one at night.
