stripper-uk 0 Posted October 16, 2009 I have been using berocca- an Water souble Vitamin and mineral tablet. I also had a B12 shot a few weeks ago Wondering if there is a better Vitamin I could try?? there are a lot of mention of kids vitamins- are these just as good?? know they are a lot cheaper Any recommendations would be most welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted October 16, 2009 I use Berocca and I love it! 50 cents per day roughly doesn't seem outrageous to me. Now, it is not a Multivitamin, but I don't have Iron issues, etc. I believe if you take a Flintstone chewable or Gummy you have to take 2 as opposed to the kid dose of just 1. That would make them cost a basically twice as much as if you were buying them for a child. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiz 1 Posted October 16, 2009 I take a Centrum (or store brand) chewable Multivitamin for adults, liquid B12, Calcium and liquid Vitamin D drops (only in the winter). I just had my annual blood work completed and everything came back normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted October 16, 2009 I take Centrum adult chewable and B-12 + Biotin sublingual I ordered from Bariatric Choice. Doc told me chew a couple tums for Calcium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted October 16, 2009 Tried the Bariatric Advantage brand or Vita Band.... They are superior and designed specifically for us... but they taste like sh%#&. I literally gag. They have several flavors and I got the watermelon. They are so chalky I can't imagine any of them tasting good. So then I tried the Centrum chewables. Okay.... At least I didn't gag. But I have to say, I like the Flintstones the best. They are inexpensive, so it doesn't matter if I have to take two. I also take Biotin, and Caltrate petites with D. they are smaller and don't bother me going through the band. they dissolve quickly too. I no longer need my BP meds, but doc has me on Maxide as a precaution, so I have to supplement with potassium as well to prevent leg cramps. Biotin has NOT helped with my Hair loss. I'm quite upset about that. Been taking it for well over a year with no new Hair growth. Doc said to try a zinc supplement as well. going to get that this weekend. I've got my fingers crossed.

aubrie 6 Posted October 19, 2009 Emergen-C powder is good in the winter time during cold and flu season. I mix it with half Water and half O.J. Seems to help fight colds etc. and it's high in most all Vitamins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueangelkc80 0 Posted October 20, 2009 My doctor also suggested adding zinc to my Vitamins to help with Hair loss. The other thing I use that seems to have helped is the Nioxin(sp?) Shampoo. My hair was already really fine and kinda thin so when I started losing I freaked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
