Vitamins

My doctor has told me to take liquid or chewable vitamins everyday. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good brand that's not very expensive. Thanks.

My doc recommended either Centrum(?) chewable or Flintstones chewable I honestly think any store brand chewable multi-vitamin is OK.

My Doc recommended bariatric vitamins at bariatric advantage .com

We just bought some Flintstone chewables for my son and they taste awful.

I take the Emergen-C Multivitamin, which is liquid. (and yummy) It's not as comprehensive as some of the other Multivitamins, but it's fine for what I need, since I eat a pretty balanced diet overall.

When I find myself consistently falling short on Calcium, I have Viactiv chews.

For Iron, I try to get in a bowl or two of Total Cereal over the course of a week. So far my iron levels are fine. (just had them tested recently)

The maker of my kids' gummy Vitamins (which are yummy) and my favorite probiotic (PB8) just introduced a new line of adult gummy vitamins:

NNI Adult Gummy Vitamins I'm going to try some out whenever I happen to run into them locally.

I am also having a hard time finding the chewable and liquid vitamins. The Walmart in my area must no carry them.

I take the Flinstones w/iron. The taste doesn't really bother me. I am quite childish when it comes to the color though, lol. If I shake out some in the palm of my hand, and there is a red one...I have to take it. There is absolutely no taste difference. Now I see where my kids get it.
