Liquid Vitamin Suggestions

Does anyone have any suggestions for liquid vitamins. I took the advice of some people and purchased Bariatric Advantage Vitaband multivitamins and calcium citrate vitamins, all chewables. Well.. I strongly dislike them. I hate the way they taste when I begin to chew them Then, to top it off, I have to take 3 of the calcium vitamins a day... YUCK!!! Please help me with any suggestions for liquid vitamins as I think those will be more tolerable. Thanks!!!

I got liquid Vitamins and liquid calcium at Walgreens. I put the vitamins in my Protein shake and that seems to work ok.

I take the kroger childrens gummy vitamins from kroger. They taste like sour patch kids. I have tried the Calcet creamy lemon bites and they werent bad just a little gritty. I would like to try the cherry wafers from GNC but i wish they had a different flavor.

They are gross but I just do it, it's not that unbearable haha. Might look for another option when I finish the bottles. I got a sample of Bariatric Advantage.. I think they were like soft chews, those tasted good.

I've tried Ecodrink. They are packets you mix in water. They don't upset my stomach like the chewable but it still has that vitamin taste.

You can also look for sublingual vitamins or chewable. I use One A Day sours plus others for B12 supplementation, etc.

I have a friend who had by-pass surgery 8 years ago and she told me she takes ReVita. You can get it at Sam's Club. They are about $12.00 for a months supply. Kind of a tropical taste. I take 2 oz. every morning. I am on my second bottle. You keep them in the refrigerator. Not bad tasting. I bought all the vitimins my Dr. recommended and I just couldn't take them. They made me gag and I don't like that feeling. My last blood tests were great.

I am currently taking Flintstones Chewable and absolutely HATE them . I much rather eat my kids Flintstones Gummy Sours, but my doc says NO GUMMIES. Claims they will get stuck in the band. :(

I second the vote for EcoDrink. The chewable Vitamins make me gag but this drink works well for me (and I don't mind the taste)

If you chew them really really well then they're fine. The stoma (hole from pouch to stomach) is about the size of a dime.

WOW, the size of a dime ??? I didn't even realize that it was that tiny. I really would much rather take my kids gummy vits instead of my nasty chewables. Most fo the time I don't really chew them all the way....end up swallowing them early. YUCK

I use the liquid Reviva from Sam's club too. I was taking the same chewables as you and I have a hard time with the taste. You only have to take 1-2 tbsp of this liquid. Tastes good mixed with diet V-8 juice.

For Calcium I take Viactin chew, they come in choc or vanilla. The choc ones taste like candy and are delicious.
