Anyone Know Of A Small Vitamin?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a small Vitamin that I can swallow. Has anyone come across one? I bought one tonight that I seen on Amazon but its far from small. I have tried several chewables and can't stand them. I'm starting to feel crappy without them.

I use the women's one a day petite. I'm a gagger. I gag at everything. Told this to my doctor and they said to just try a multivitamin....this one isn't tiny but much smaller than others I've tried.

For some reason I can't swallow those long pills anymore and even have trouble with the smaller ones. Being the tough guy that I am, I just chew em up now. Pretty bad flavors. I tried just dissolving them in Water first but that doesn't work on all of them.

I have heard that some Vitamins are supposed to dissolve in your intestine rather than your stomach. I guess chewing them would ruin that.

I just bought the Natures Made new Mini's and they are working great...they are the only ones I have been able to stand and they are smaller. Target and costco both have them.

Aren't those a soft gel? I'd love to try them but was told to never take gels again.

I'd love to hear feedback on them

"gummy" things swell when exposed to liquids, and can cause a blockage in the sleeve. None for me, thanks! :)

I was told that also. My NUT and Dr both told me no capsules ever.

I put pills that are in question in a cup of Water for 10-20 minutes. If it doesn't dissolve properly there, it won't in my tummy. Super scary

That's a no thanks for me too.

Darn - thought I had found a smaller vitamin!

I throw some of my Vitamins in a crusher and then into my morning Protein shake. Don't even know they are there.

If a person can handle bigger pills is it alright to take them?

Have you considered liquid vitamins? My doctors off gave me a sample of Wellness brand but I never tried them. I am pretty sure they can be purchased at the grocery store or pharmacy.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
