Hi All,

I am having some trouble trying to find a really good, reputable brand that provides both Multi Vitamins & Minerals all in one dose.

I do get some material from Nutrition Express and they have some Multi Vitamin/Mineral formula in powder form (mixes in 8 oz. of water to make an orangy tasting mix), but when I look at the Nutrition Facts, it has crazy, almost insane amounts of it. Like some are 8333% RDA!! Lindberg - Varsity 2 Powder Vitamin/Mineral Formula 3 Pounds - Save 37% No way, my body does not need that much!! I'm shocked over this, is this even remotely safe?

Anyway, I would just like it to be a normal dose. Not much over the 100% RDA -- Any suggestions out there? :help:

I bought some Centrum Chewables which dont taste so bad, as well as some Viactive Calcium chews which taste like candy. (OK honestly I got the store brands for these two and they are identical)

Centrum®: Wyeth Consumer Healthcare

VIACTIV® Calcium Soft Chews

I had been taking the centrum but to me it was gross so I just got some Kmart brand called vitasmart multiple vitamins w/iron I was leary of the with iron but when I looked at the label it has the reg amount of iron as do the rest, this only has 11 vitamins but hey I wasnt even taking any before so I got these to start..and they are SMALL about the size of a ibuprofin thats why I bought them and when I think of it I take some liquid B complex ~Chantay

I am taking Nature's Plus liquit vitamin/mineral supplement. It also has whole food concentrate that probably helps give it the lovely spirulina/chlorophill color! It has a tropical flavor and really isn't too bad. It sure beats the taste of kids liquid Advil!

I also get their chewable calcium hearts, chewable C, and chewable Zinc. The best prices I have found are on Buy Discount Vitamins, Supplements, Low Carb and More at www.Vitacost.com . Oh, I also purchase my protein powder, made by Jarrow, there. It is $10 less per tub than at the health food store.

I don't take Flinstones or Centrum. I once saw a great demonstration...put one in vinegar and see how long it takes to dissolve! Cured me!

I use "Organtic Life Vitamins"

Natural Vitality Products - Natural Calm - Peter Gillham

they are liquid form and taste fruity. They have everything you need.

Just a suggestion

Great, thanks for the suggestions! They are really good ones. I'll check out all that have been given.

Thanks again.

PS, does anyone actually just crush their vit/mins into a powder and just take it that way? If so, does it have a terribly heinous taste to it, or is it even recommended?

I have a brand I have been taking for a long time now and I just love it. I get it from costco, 400 pills for about 12 bucks. Can't beat that. However it is simply huge and I know I will have problems taking it after surgery.
