Vitamins!!!

Is anyone having problems taking Vitamins???

I've never been a real pill taker. I've been able to take my B1's fine because theyre small, but for some reason I cant take these calcium citrate pills. I bought the smaller ones and stil cut those in half. Because I have to take 1200mg a day, that means I have to swallow 12 pieces. I cant get them down. I gag everytime I try.

Can anyone recommend anything that will help me??:confused2:

Hi there! I take 2 chewable Vitamins (they're Kroger generic brand) & for calcium I take 3 Viactiv chocolate chews. I let them sit on the top of my mouth and melt since they're chewy. They're 500 mg of calcium and also contain vitamins d & k.

Hi all! Found a new Vitamin that I really like! Found them @ the Vitamin Shoppe: Slice of Life-they're gummy vitamins for adults-made by Hero Nutritionals. They were $14.99 for 60 gummy slices.

I just started taking liquid Source of Life (vitamin) and sublingual B12 complex. I knew i should be taking a Vitamin and just couldn't stomach my chewables in the morning (more a mental thing than a physical thing.)

I saw both of the ones i mentioned above recommend on this site and checked them out and thought i'd give them a try. I can't say i love the taste of the Liquid Source of Life, but the sublingual B12 is a breeze. I haven't felt a difference yet, but it's only been 2 days!
