So I am currently taking maltlevol 12 for my liquid multi vitamin. I'm only 5 days post op so I am going to be taking liquid vitamins for awhile but I absolutely can't stand the taste of he one I have. It's like I'm drinking a shot of triple sec in tiny sips. It is already a huge challenge to get my fluids in right now but the taste of this vitamin is brutal. Any suggestions on a better tasting multi I can take so soon out?

I use this one.. mix the powder with water. there's a mango version too. got them at shoppers.

good way to flavour the water you're supposed to drink anyway :)

this company also has flavour burst chews - not gummies - like a chewy powder ball - I'm told they taste great but have yet to find them myself so I cant confirm that.

Thank you that looks a million times better. Mine tastes like I'm sipping in a shot of triple sec lol. I'm calling my shoppers first thing in the morning to see if they have this.

With the patch MD do you still have to take the calcium, vitamin D and b12?

You might.  It has roughly the same amounts that I was getting with taking vitamins four times a day.  I am going to try for a few months and see what my labs say.

Thanks. They're kind of pricey but now that I add it up its actually not to bad since it's once a day where as my other one is 3 a day so a bottle doesn't last more then a month anyways. How long did they take to come in?

If you place an order, I'd be interested in knowing if you get nailed for duty and taxes on import.
