Any Gummy multi-Vitamins that work?



Recommended Posts

I have tried several multiple-Vitamins and am struggling. I am only about 2 was out. I never have done good with swallowing pills especially big ones like multi-vitamins. I am

Currently taking the Flinstones ones and so far that has been the best but it still has a little after taste which makes me want to not take it. Therefore, I'm hoping a Gummy one exists that would work and not have aftertaste? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated... :)

Please help!

Centrum chewables are bright colored round balls with a thin candy shell that tastes fruity and good!

Costco has a chewable adult Vitamin. I've been taking them since surgery and they seem just fine.

...the Walmart brand works for me. I think it is called Spring Valley. It gets easier with time. Best of luck to you.

My Doctor told me that the chewables are not sufficient enough. I use the Bariatric Advantage chewable French Vanila Flavored which seems pretty tolerable. For the Calcium I use Bariatric Advantage calcium chewable Caramels it tastes like the werthers originals they have it in 500 mg so you need 4 a day.

My doctor also said gummies work temporarily but they haven't worked very long for any of his patients.

Also, I started the BA calcium chews and my doctor pointed me to GNC. They have Carmel's chews that are 1000 mg. so I only have to chew half as much! Worth looking into :)

How do the ones from GNC taste?

Very similar. I actually prefer them because they're not quite as sugary sweet and don't leave the same taste on my tongue the BA do. I mostly went their because they're cheaper in the long run. About the same price per bag that lasts twice as long. They have chocolate, too. Now if they would just make lemon, I'd be one happy camper :)

Yeah I will have to check that out because to be honest BA is on the pricey side but they make good products. I bought a bag from BA Lemon Flavor it's yummy but they only make Lemon in 250mg. Thanks for the Info

Mu nutritionist said the waxy coating on the gummies keep them from being absorbed as well, no matter how well they are chewed.

My nutritionist said that gummies aren't good because they take a lot of the minerals out of the Vitamins when they make the gummies for taste.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
