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.

      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.
