Question:
good vitamin
I need a good vitamin have been under alot of stress and hair loss once again. I have been off vitamins, I know I'm bad! But I will get back on them, so let me know what out there? I can't swallow too big of a pill, and the chewables are gross. Thanks. — luvmytrucker51 (posted on December 6, 2007)

My program calls for me to take 1 Flintstones Complete chewable twice a day
plus 1 B12 sublinqual. Addressing the hair loss--your protein intake is
probably going to help most with your hair...but don't miss the vitamins,
ever... remember, they're for life! Good Luck, Leslie

I use a liquid vitiman that I like extremely well. You need to take your
vitamins daily, at least twice the adult RDA. The one I use is on a
website www.bariatricliquidvitamins.com . It far exceeds the standard RDA
levels, had high antioxidant rating, as well as additional benefits. My
surgeon and the instructors for the bariatric classes reviewed it, and
found it to be more than satisfactory for bariatric patients. It sure beats
swallowing several pills daily. Biotin will help with hair loss, and this
vitamins has 100% RDA of Biotin, which most vitamins do not have.

If you are stressed make sure your multi is extra high in B-Vitamins b/c
you deplete your body of these when you are stressed. As for hair look for
a collagen protein if you can. They tend to be more expensive so it might
not be a route you wish to go but collagen is the chief protein that makes
up the connective tissue so great for hair, skin, nails. Just an option
whatever protein you have will help if you stick with it. If you have a
question don't hesitate to ask. [email protected]

I take a chewable vitamin twice a day. I order them from
bariatricadvantage.com. They are offered in three flavors, berry, orange
and tropical fruit. I've tried all three and they are not bad tasting.
GOOD LUCK !!

bariatriceating.com has many bariatric friendly vitamens. also be sure you
are getting the maxium protien you need. That will help with the hair
thinning.
there are chewable vitamens so you don't have to swallow.

I would highly recommend a liquid supplement that I've been taking called
Vemma (recommended by my own surgeon). Not only does it have all of your
daily required values, I've experienced a serious increase in my energy
levels since I've begun taking it. It doesn't taste bad and is taken by
many people outside the realm of weightloss surgery. See link below for
more info.

I too could not find a good chewable vitamin. My friend told me that
everyone she knew uses the childrens Gummie Vits, they are good, just use
double for the adult dose.

Hi I was told by my Dr. to take one source prenatal they are in Walmart and
have a pink lable. They are not big and I have had no trouble swallowing
them.

I have been using the GNC brand of chewables. The ones I have recently
been taking are lemon lime and cherry. Please take your vitamins and
protein.

Sherry,
I take the Women's One a Day Multi-Vitamin and I purchased Vitamin D Soft
Gels 400 to take on the side--these I usually take at night so they can
work through the body while it's at rest -- a fitness guru told me that.

Centrum sells a liquid formula of their multivitamin. If you can't find it
in the store, try their website. http://www.centrum.com/
If you prefer to use a pill crusher for your medications, try this site.

They have some good choices and no shipping charges.

Just a suggestion about taking pills...buy a pill cutter. There are less
than $5 at most drug stores or places like Walmart. You can cut pills
several times until they are really small. Pill crushers are also available
if you wish to hid them in your food.
