Vitamin C

Anyone know where I can get a good chewable vitamin c? I went to look for one today at target and all of them had sugar as first ingredient. I could not find any sugar free brands.

I can guess why they all have sugar as the first ingredient! I take 1000 mg. daily in caplet form and when that baby touches my tongue...SOUR!! Not sure where you are in your journey (I'm pre-sleeve) but could you take a regular pill with some food? That's what I'm hoping to do as when I take it on an empty stomach it kills me.

Thanks, but I don't need any more reasons to throw up. The multi-vitamin by Celebrate caused me to be sick for 20 minutes this morning, losing all other Vitamins and my Breakfast. I really do need to find a multi that can stay down, even when mixed with other supplements like b50 and b12. I am almost 4 months out.

I had major probs with those vitamins too. I switched to GNC's women's formula Vitamin and am doing well now. It's just a regular vitamin. Saved me tho.

Thanks, I will switch to GNC mens formula and see if that helps. I used to take them in my earlier life pre- sleeve. My only concern is that they are not complete enough for sleevers. Do we need to take 2 doses, perhaps 1 in morning and 1 in evening?

I don't think so. I looked at the levels and they were comparable to BA and Celebrate. The daily dosage for the women's is two tablets per day anyway tho,but I don't think that taking four would be wise. Just my opinion tho. ;)

I just bought a product from trader joes called "vitamin c crystals." The claim is faster absorption because no fillers in crystal form. The dose is 1/4 teaspoon and can be added to water or a juice. It tastes like lemon honey to me. It is 5 calories a serving and provides 1000 mg. they recommend taking it before and after a meal, but that applis to non sleevers so do abide by the standard 30 minute buffers around eating. You might try it as an alternative to sugar tablets or big horse c pills.
