Vitamin suggestion I hate chalk tasting stuff



Recommended Posts

I'm just getting started and my team suggested I should start taking Vitamins now but I'm afraid of buying them and disliking the taste. Its all I could do in the past to chew a tum no matter the flavor as the texture was like chalk. Is that what the chewables are like too? What's your favorite? Or should I try liquid and what options are there. So much out there I feel overwhelmed.

sublingual is the way to go ... i.e. melt under the tongue.

Blackmore's Vitamins come in a style called "Rapi-Melts". They melt in less than ten seconds under your warm wet tongue.

I'm trying the Patches right now, easy to use but expensive as crap, will probably go back to pills.

Celebrate has a capsule Vitamin, which you could open them and sprinkle them in something you are eating. When I first had my RNY I was told to use Centrum chewables. They are fruit flavored and kind of reminded me of a gumball. I had to change Vitamins because they tasted too sweet to me, hubby loved them. Different strokes for different people I guess. My Surgeon was the one that told me to use the capsules sprinkled on something that I was eating.

I love that idea of sprinkling into the food I'm eating I'll see about that thanks so much for the info!
