I need some advice on how to take this vitamin B. I empty the capsule and the powder is super nasty tasting. Any suggestions on how to get this down without wanting to  . |

Have you tried mixing it in a little bit of apple sauce? I think quite a few post ops used this trick.

Centrum chewables have thiamin in them- 1.5mg. They are bearable. I take 2 per day + all the other stuff - iron, b12, biotin, calcium... Hope it wil help.

Hmmm, at first my doc had me on the vit. B complex. Is that what you are trying to take? Smells bad, tastes bad? Makes your urine bright yellow? Yeah, it and the calcium citrate was the devil for me. I tried crushing the b-complex, then got the capsules and sprinkled it. Sorry but none of it worked for me.
the doc ok'd me to take opt-source vitamins + my b-12 sublingual. I hope my labs will be ok later.
