I need to know why no Flintstones vitamins
The Flintstones Complete IS the one missing all kinds of things. Compare the labels, and see what is missing. The problem with gummies is the same. It has nothing to do with getting stuck.
Chewables DO NOT absorb better than pills or capsules. They recommend chewables at first because they won't irritate suture lines like pills might.
Doctors recommend chewables because too many patients become noncompliant, and take no vitamins at all. And they recommend them to us for the same reason adults give Flintstones to their kids, instead of tablets or capsules. Chewables are like candy, and hey, since fat people and kids like candy so much, maybe they'll take these crappy kid's vitamins instead.
You can be satisfied with getting some things and not others by taking crappy vitamins. I'd rather ensure my long term health and take something much better. If I go to the trouble of taking vitamins, I'd rather they be the right ones.

My doctor has us taking Flintstones COMPLETE, I saw there was a regular Flintstones and it was a lot cheaper, so I suppose the complete may have some of the missing vitamins that the regular does not have. My Dr. wants a chewable so it absorbs better and is easier to digest versus taking an adult vitamin, and of course we can not do gummies on bypass.
there is no proof that chewables absorb better -- and I am a person that has taken chewable for 20 months!
