Has anyone tried the Viactiv Multi Vitamin chews?



Recommended Posts

I have a very hard time with the smell of Vitamins and I have to gag down the Flinstones every day and it is getting harder and harder since my last fill. I found some Viactiv chews that you can take instead of your Multivitamin. I am scared to try them for fear of not being able to eat dinner tonight if they are too nasty. Has anyone else tried them?

Yes, I tried them, and I didn't like the taste--too vitaminy! I have been taking capsules that I can wash down with a sip of Water. I can't even stand the smell of Vitamins, so this works best for me.

I have used their Calcium chews but then I read the ingredients... the first ingredient is Corn Syrup and the second is Sugar!!

I guess that's why they taste good but I'm going to try to find something that's not candy instead.

I use the viactiv chews daily and don't think they're half bad. I sure enjoy them more than any chewable I've tried and as far as the sugar goes, I don't think its enough to really worry about. I haven't found the sugar free ones at my wal-mart, but will look for them next time.

I love the viactive chews. They taste like chocolate and are more of an incentive to take my Vitamins over the chewable orange flavored centrums. They are great. They are like 20 calories each but it is really not that much if you think of it as a treat. Its like eating a chocolate but its a Vitamin.< /p>

I have the chocolate ones and found they had a strong Vitamin after taste. They are sitting on my shelf. Maybe I should try them again and give them more of a chance. It could just be an acquired taste.

I prefer the caramel flavor to the chocolate. They do taste like real caramels.

Yes, they are only 20 calories, but I'm trying to cut refined sugar out of my life and it all adds up.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
