Vitamins

[Jack Pine Savage 0]

What brand of Vitamins are you guys buying? I just had surgery and know my nutritionist suggested Nature Made after I heal but man these suckers look huge. Before the surgery, they also seemed to upset my stomach if taken when I hadn't eaten anything. I'd like to get a high potency multi Vitamin, is there a good chewable vitamin out there for adults that will give us everything we need and then some? Chewable or not I want the best vitamin I can get that will be easy to swallow and digest.

Any suggestions?

My nurse actually recommended flintstones chewables twice a day. That's what I take

I take the adult chewable vitamins made by Walgreens, High Potency A thru Z. I believe they're the store brand of Centrum's. I also take two sugar-free Tums for added Calcium.< /span>

For daily Vitamins I am currently taking Centrum chewables (they are a little chalky tasting though) when this bottle is gone I will probably go back to 2 Flintstone Vitamins a day because they are easier for me to handle (they are childrens vitamins but 2 of these gives you more than the RDA...they were on my doctors approval list. The bottle says one a day for adults but I take two just to be sure I am getting enough of everything)

For Calcium I take the Viactive chews (caramel is so yummy, it is like a daily treat. chocolate is good too...tastes almost like tootsy rolls). I have also taken Caltrate plus D, quality is just as good...they are berrry flavor and pretty tasty too.

Hey, My doctor told me to get something that is close to Centrum. I then went to my supplement store and ask for that. They are Cherry flavor.

I take one Flinstone's chewable Complete a day and one Kirkland Brand chocolate Calcium chew. I get both at costco. I just had blood work done and all my levels were normal so I must be getting enough Vitamins.< /p>

I take a multi-Vitamin Gummy bear off brand store product. Two a day for the gummy bears.

Plus, Vitamin B12 under the tongue. calcium chews. Iron pill and Vitamin D pill.

I was having a problem with hair loss and hating the liquid Vitamins that were recommended. So, about 4 months after surgery, I found a product called JuicePlus and I love it. It is described as:

juice Plus+ provides the nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains in convenient and inexpensive capsule form. juice Plus+ Orchard Blend<SUP> </SUP>contains seven of the most nutritious fruits around:

apples

,

oranges

,

pineapple

,

cranberries

,

peaches

,

acerola cherries

, and

papaya

. Juice Plus+ Garden Blend contains ten nutrient-dense vegetables and grains:

carrots

,

parsley

,

beets

,

kale

,

broccoli

,

cabbage

,

spinach

,

tomatoes

, and

rice bran

and

oat bran

.

I was feeling like I wasnt getting enough fruits and veggies anyway so these are great. They are in capsule form but since they are ALL NATURAL - NO Fillers, when I was particularly tight from a fill I could open the capsule and sprinkle in a smoothy or in Soup. They really changed my life. My DH (Type 1 diabetic) and my son are both using the product and I am no longer losing my hair - plus my skin looks great too. In addition, the Fiber in each capsule - if taken with a full glass of Water - keep me full. I am so into it that I am now a distributor of the product. So, if you have questions PM me....

btw, I am working with my Surgeons office right now - this has such a good reputation from the medical community (including bariatric physicans) that he may begin recommending it to his patients, pre and post op.

Hi

My husband is taking the Centrum Silver as they have lots of vits and other stuff in them too. They are the chewable ones in flavor of Cirtrus.

I take a multi-Vitamin Gummy bear off brand store product. Two a day for the gummy bears.

Plus, Vitamin B12 under the tongue. Calcium chews. Iron pill and Vitamin D pill.

Taking 1000 international units of the Vitamin D daily could lower an individual's cancer risk by 50-per cent, they said. Cardio Cocktail contains 5000 mg of vitamin D3 per ounce.

So what is the nutritional info on this? Does it meet all the RDA requirements or do you have to take a ton? Like others, I'm doing the chewables. The biggest problem for me is the Calcium. All the chewables I've seen are calcium carbonate and my doctor wants me on calcium citrate. If I take the Citracal mini, I have to take like 6. The regular are so huge that, even cut in half, I have a really hard time.
