vitamins Nasty smelling vitamins

[Jessica Marie 15]

My doctor is having me starting some daily Vitamins. I have to take a multivitamin with Iron, zinc,and B-1.

My B-1 that I have to take smells HORRIBLE! And they don't taste that good either. Does anyone have any recommendations on a less smelling B-1 Vitamin, or a trick to get mine to not smell so bad?

yea B1 really stinks. I get mine in capsule form because of that - I couldn't deal with the tablets. The capsules don't really smell. (I take B-complex since the brand I take has all the Vitamin B1 we were required to take. This is the brand I take (see link below), but there are undoubtedly others that come in capsule form (this one says "serving size" is 2 capsules, but one capsule has everything we need, so that's all I take. Any extra vitamin B you take comes out a few hours later in your urine, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to take more than you need

By taking an all-in-one Bariatric Multivitamin like BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE, you can get 1,667% of the daily Thiamine (B-1) value. Why take a separate B-1 supplement?

I'm not taking a bariatric multivitamin. Just a regular one.
