been taking all my vitamins without issues, however started taking a stronger vitamin and now the headaches are unbearable, does this happen to any of you? is there an ingredient on this vitamins that is causing it?

this is the brand, SuperNutrition Simply One Women's Iron-Free Multivitamin Tablet

I take it without Iron because I am having iron infusions, any feedback will be appreciated, I possibly will be changing them but I am puzzled about this symptom.

I pulled up the nutrition info, and it looks like there's a lot of random herbal stuff in this type of vitamin. Alfalfa, spirulina, pine bark, ginko, bilberry, and ginseng. Is it possible that you're allergic to one of those additional ingredients?

Actually that makes sense, I've never had any of these herbs before so might be a possibility, thank you so much for the reply.

Try another brand, and see what happens.

I get wicked headaches from iron infusions. They last for a few days. Are you getting the headaches right after infusions?

I was allergic to some ingredient in certain Bariatric multi vitamins, and in another regular multi. I would sneeze like crazy after taking them. And I've never been allergic to anything. Still not sure what it was.

So now, I'm on my third multi. I'd say just shop around ! Might be some trial and error involved.

thank you, I have tried many of them and is so weird that the ones that don't cause me any issues are the Smarty Pants multi But the problem is that they are not as complete for what we need and high in sugar,

but I will continue my search,

Thank you for the reply!
