Good Multi Vitamin...

Hello Ladies...I recently started taking Women's One A Day vitamins. I had to stop after 5 days because I started feeling neauseated every day around the same time and my mouth would salivate beyond what you would concider normal when you are sick to your stomach. At first I thought maybe I'm pregnant. I took a few tests to check no missed cycles and no other symptoms and a negative test result each time. Saturday was the last time I took it and I actually threw up. I ate before taking it every time. I later googled the vitamin and feeling sick and there were several sites with questions posted about the very same thing I had felt. I think that I'm going to call the manufacturer today because they were almost $8.00 for the bottle and I can't take them not to mention I do not want to give them to anyone. Are there any recommendations for a good multi vitamin?? I really don't want to take 8 different pills every day to get the vitamins I need. I eat a lot of fruits and salads so I feel like I am getting some of what I need by the food choices I make. Suggestions please :o) Thanks!!

I have the same problem, because of the iron in multivitamins. I find taking them on a full stomach will alleviate the problem. Good luck!

Hi!

I have the same problem with ANY adult multi-vitamin that I have tried. I asked my doctor. She told me to get children's vitamins and take 2 of them a day plus because I am post-menopausal - the doctor told me to take a calcium chew each day because the children's vitamins will not give me enough calcium. I take children's gummi vitamins now and not only do I get my vitamins but I also am getting a daily treat!

My rx prenatal vitamins do the same thing to me. I take them before I got to bed and that does the trick. When I'm not pregnant, I take the generic Costco Centrum multi-vitamins. It's around $10 for 300 or 500 vitamins so you can't beat the price and they have never bothered my stomach.

Oligo is a great line. They have a multi vitamins for women, mend, over 50, and prenatal (and for kids too), calcium, and a host of others. They are better quality than you find in the pharmacy or other stores and are made so you actually absorb more of the nutrients. For more info, go to www.LiveTotalWellness.com/madden,

I love Rainbow Light Vitamins. I started with their prenatal vitamins and have been brand loyal for over a decade. They are Green Food Based, are filled with all the good stuff and none of the sugar and other additives that your body does not need. I can tell without a doubt when I take them and if I forget, I feel healthier have more energy and feel more in balance. They have several types, some are one pill a day, I choose to take the one that is 6 pills a day because it works for me. I must eat before I take my pills or they give me a tummy ache. You can find Rainbow Light on line or at a health food store like The Vitamin Shoppe. They are not cheap but they are excellent vitamins. I have suggested them to many people and everyone who takes them become loyal Rainbow Light Vitamin Takers.

Any regular over the counter multi-vitamin should be fine. If you're eating a balanced diet you should be good.

Hi! I haven't had that problem with One A Days, but I take them at night. My OB suggested that when my prenatal vitamins made me nauseous, and I just continued it when I went back to normal multivitamins. Maybe try taking them right before bed if you don't want to throw them away.

Hi, J. - The vitamins that I take are guaranteed to make you feel better, or your money back. Should they make you sick, you could also get your money back. They are scientifically proven to be more absorbable than any other vitamin on the market. Feel free to contact me for more info. Good luck! N.

I use a multi-vitamin and mineral made by Nature Made which you can get at Giant, CVS and other various stores. I haven't had any problems with them and have been taking them for over 20 yrs. They have changed the formula a bit but overall have been good for me along with a few supplements that my chiropractor gave me to take to help out in various areas. You can sign up on their website and log in your points and they send you a $7 coupon or other coupons to get one free. I usually use when it's buy 1 get 1 free and save a lot of money. Healthway and Whole Foods also have vitamins that are natural and good for you and if you have allergies they help you find one that won't affect you.
