Patoonces 13 Posted April 17, 2014 So, I am having trouble finding a Vitamin that has the amount of Iron my NUT wants (I think she wanted me to have like 18mg a day?). Also, a Gummy Calcium with magnesium and D, the chewable tablet I got now makes me sick I can't stand the texture or flavor anymore. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoseIvy 3 Posted April 17, 2014 Iron is the trickiest Vitamin of all! Calcium destroys it, Vitamin C helps it absorb. I would never take Iron pil with anything else other than Vitamin C and never in a Multivitamin. Also, avoid any prescription medication 3 hours before and after taking iron supplement, because they don't 'get along'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enjoythetime 1,457 Posted April 17, 2014 I believe mine is women's one a day multi Vitamin. I don't have it in front of me so I'm not sure of the values. I also take Calcium gummies + D. I think tey Caltrate Gummies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
relief57 53 Posted April 17, 2014 I agree the chewables do get old fast. I'm ready to just crush my old pills and swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Gonzalez 52 Posted April 17, 2014 Well my daughter is pregnant (#2) and she just suggested to me yesterday, "mom, why don't you buy the pre-natal gummy vitamins in Target, cause they are loaded" So think that's my plan. Hope it works for you! 1 Karad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moonlitestarbrite 902 Posted April 17, 2014 gummies arent very good Vitamins. they dont usually have a lot of anything in them. i don't think they usually put Iron in them either. liquid multies are a much better choice. i love the one i use and my blood work is always good. (though i do take an additional Vitamin D supplement cause i live in the cold dark north) http://www.vitacost.com/tropical-oasis-tropical-plus-mega-multiple-vitamn-mineral 1 GoldnGirl6677 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
