RE: ? ABOUT TIME RELEASE VITAMINS

Hello Everyone: Hope all is well with each of you. I have been lurking more than posting but I was wondering about the time release vitamins. I know they mentioned not to take time release at the beginning but since I am over a year, can we take them now. I have been taking the GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Bone Density and it is time released. Can we take them. Thanks for your response and I hope you have a safe fourth of July. Mary

I tried at about 6 months post op then again at a year post op to take those vitamins and I have not been successful. I was told it was because the pouch doesn't make as much acid that is needed to dissolve them as would be required. Not to mention they do not stay in your system to absorbe enough of what they provide for the daily intake if they don't stay in your stomach. I've heard only great things about the vitamins though....if you can tolderate them i'd check with your doctor and if he gives you the go-ahead then use them! Good luck to you! Dee Dee

I was told not to take anything time released but you should just check with your doctor. I had more luck taking the vitamins from Market America. I miss the powder with water and drink it. Doesn't taste too bad and I know it goes directly into my system instead of having to wait to dissolve.
