Flinstones Vitamins..?

[shellyk018 30]

So my nutritionist suggested Flinstones chewable vitamins at my multivitamin.. I got a generic store brand version and she approved them. They are kinda gross but I can deal with that! I’m just concerned or wondering if there is something better. I know there’s tons of brand and soft chews and all that but they are soo expensive! So if those 2 and half month supply of knock of Flinstones chewables for $6 is just as good as the $30-40 one month supply then I will stick with them! Just curious is anyone else was suggested the Flinstones vitamins..

My team recommends 2 flinstone complete, calcium citrate plus Vitamin D-3 1200-1500 mg/day (500-600mg 2-3 times a day- three if post menopause) and B12 500 mcg/day (sublingual)

I've always taken Centrum or the generic equivalent (both CVS and Walgreens carry generic equivalents)

my clinic did recommend Flintstones, but I know the ASBMS (Amer Soc of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery) does not recommend children's Vitamins, so I decided to go with Centrum. I asked the dietitian about Centrum before I started taking them, and she said they were fine (I take two a day). As long as your vitamins meet the ASBMS standards, they should be fine (mine do...)

I take GNC soft chews, and yes they're on the expensive side, but they work best for me because they don't make me sick to my stomach like a lot of Vitamins do and they make me feel like I'm eating something.

My clinic also said no flintstones and suggested Centrum as budget option. Amazon will do subscription services for vitamins and supplements and deliver them every month.
