A Vitamin Question

[emardee 192]

I'm waiting to hear back from my doc's office on this, but figured I'd crowdsource here too. They started me out on chewable Multivitamins, but the taste squicks me out. For my B Vitamins, I use a liquid from the pharmacy. Did anyone transition from chewables to the patch vitamins and how has that worked out for you? Thanks in advance for any insights you can offer.

Love my patches! Been using for 4 days now.

Physician's assistant called back and said no on the Patches -- they're apparently not as effective as the Flinstone's chewables (yes that's what they have me taking.) Guess I'll keep choking those down.

Thanks Tyani. The brushing right after sounds like a good idea.

I've recently discovered powder Vitamins that you mix with Water -- and I noticed a positive difference in how I felt as soon as I started using them. And they taste great. Isotonix -- here is the combination I use (has iron): http://www.isotonix.com/product/isotonix-daily-essentials-kit-with-iron/?skuName=Isotonix%C2%AE%20Daily%20Essentials%20Kit%20%28With%20Iron%29%20-%20Includes%20Multivitamin%20with%20Iron%20%2890%20servings%29,%20OPC-3%20%2890%20servings%29,%20Activated%20B-Complex%20%2890%20servings%29%20and%20Calcium%20Plus%20%2890%20servings%29&id=6466&idType=sku

I was told to mix, wait for 2 minutes, drink on an empty stomach -- then wait for 15 minutes to achieve maximum absorption. Much preferable to all other Vitamins I tried -- which were mostly "yuck" and lacking in nutrient value. I feel healthier than ever!
