Really try to get all your nutrients from food; however, if you can't a supplement is a great alternative.

I've been on the Flintstones for almost 2 years and have to quit. The taste of them turns my stomach.

Don't know what happened, all of a sudden one day when chewing them- yuck! Even the thought of them makes me sick.

So I'm stopping Vitamins for now.

Good luck. That Alive sounds deadly! :unsure:

I've been able to swallow my regular multi-vitamin if I cut it in half, but that may not work for you...

I got the Alive liquid for post op, and that stuff is EVIL! I was able to choke it down for almost 3 weeks, then had to stop...I would dread getting up in the morning just because I knew it was waiting for me! ;-) Really nasty stuff.

Reg. Centrum Chewable with iron (the Silver version has different vits) it's orange flavored and I picked it because people said it tasted the best of the three (gummys, Flinstones). Only need one a day.

Flintstone Chewable for me. but you need to take 3 of thema day. you can buy some barctric (sp) chewables and only have to take 1 aday.

I take and LOVE the viaciv calcium raspberry chews! And the I use different viamins, I use a gummy sometimes and centrum chewables,which I also can't stand, and have also had the viaciv vitamin chews but I don't care for them..I also found some gummy fish oil/omega 3 they are nasty, but I chew them with the centrum it helps them both taste better.

It's all trial and error for me..
