Default What MultiVitamins do you take?

Hi!

I have tried One A Day for Women 50+, and Centrum Silver. The Centrum comes in a chewable that makes me gag. The pills for both are huge, and even cut up are a bit hard to take.

Has anyone found a multivitamin that comes in a small pill, even if I had to take two?

Thanks!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I take the One a Day Essentials. They are little red pills about or smaller than a M&M size. Works for me. I had orignaly bought something else and they were horse pills so my surgeon suggested these.

I use Bariatric Advantage...the Calcium and multi vitamin are both chewable and come in several flavors...little more expensive, but worth it. I think you can get them online at bariatricstore.com
