Multi Vitamins/Minerals in Chewable, Liquid or Powder form



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am having some trouble trying to find a really good, reputable brand that provides both Multi Vitamins & Minerals all in one dose.

I do get some material from Nutrition Express and they have some Multi Vitamin/Mineral formula in powder form (mixes in 8 oz. of Water to make an orangy tasting mix), but when I look at the Nutrition Facts, it has crazy, almost insane amounts of it. Like some are 8333% RDA!! Lindberg - Varsity 2 Powder Vitamin/Mineral Formula 3 Pounds - Save 37% No way, my body does not need that much!! I'm shocked over this, is this even remotely safe?

Anyway, I would just like it to be a normal dose. Not much over the 100% RDA -- Any suggestions out there? :help:

I had been taking the Centrum but to me it was gross so I just got some Kmart brand called vitasmart multiple Vitamins w/iron I was leary of the with Iron but when I looked at the label it has the reg amount of iron as do the rest, this only has 11 vitamins but hey I wasnt even taking any before so I got these to start..and they are SMALL about the size of a ibuprofin thats why I bought them and when I think of it I take some liquid B complex ~Chantay

I am taking Nature's Plus liquit vitamin/mineral supplement. It also has whole food concentrate that probably helps give it the lovely spirulina/chlorophill color! It has a tropical flavor and really isn't too bad. It sure beats the taste of kids liquid Advil!

I also get their chewable Calcium hearts, chewable C, and chewable Zinc. The best prices I have found are on Buy Discount Vitamins, supplements, Low Carb and More at www.Vitacost.com . Oh, I also purchase my Protein Powder, made by Jarrow, there. It is $10 less per tub than at the health food store.

I don't take Flinstones or Centrum. I once saw a great demonstration...put one in vinegar and see how long it takes to dissolve! Cured me!

PS, does anyone actually just crush their vit/mins into a powder and just take it that way? If so, does it have a terribly heinous taste to it, or is it even recommended?

I have a brand I have been taking for a long time now and I just love it. I get it from costco, 400 pills for about 12 bucks. Can't beat that. However it is simply huge and I know I will have problems taking it after surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
