Can anyone tell me if there is a Chewable 200% RDA Multi Vitamin, except Bariatric Advantage? I purchased these on-line, and I hate the taste, and they seem to make me nauseated (and I don't take them on an empty stomach). I would appreciate it if any one of you has found another brand. Thanks. :-)

I haven't found one yet. I purchased the BA multivitamins and had the same issues as you. To alleviate this I crush the vitamins and mix them with 30-40g plain greek yogurt. Makes them infinitely easier to take for both taste and texture. No more nausea either.

I used Centrum with good results for a while . Now I just take the regular vit and swallow them on down.

My doc said it was better to take 2 regular multivitamins, one in the morning and one in the evening so you have a better chance of being able to absorb it all. I am taking regular centrum adult but I haven't had any trouble swallowing pills.

To get 200% of the Bariatric Advantage, you need 2 chewables. Labels cab be misleading.

One brand of "bariatric" vitamins requires EIGHT to get 200%

Centrum chewables are pretty good.

I don't really like the taste either but it has gotten better.  I just hold my breath and chew quickly followed by a sip of water.  I may try the yogurt idea - that sounds like a winner!
