Question:
Do I need a separate Vit e if my multi contains Vit E?

I take 2 children's chewable multi vitamins per day that also contain 100% RDA of Vit E. I was taking an additional dry Vit E per day but money is tight this month. Do I really need to take the Vit E pill if my multis contain enough? I had a proximal lap RNY.    — lizinPA (posted on July 8, 2003)

Most surgeons no longer recommend childrens vitamins. They have and incomplete b profile as well as miss several other vitamins that we need. I take Bariatric Lifestyle Complete Nutritional System. It costs under $10 a month and has everything that we need. Here is a link to copy and paste for more information http://www.protein-solution.com/BariatricLifestyle/bariatric_lifestyle.htm

dosag for childrens vits 1/2 tab for children under 4. rda is the same for kids over 4 and adults, due to their rapid growth rate kids need proportionately mre vitamins than adults, if you compare the label for childrens vits and centrum or one a day the kids have as much and in some cases more of each vit than the adults vits.

I take 400 units vit e on top of my 2 multis a day , the reason is the heart protection and the help with perimenopausal symptoms. I also take 4 citrical plus with vit D, magnesium, phosphorus etc,and an iron pill a day
