Please help...I have been trying without
success to take a mutivitamin pill daily.
Every kind of vitamin pill I tried taking
in the past made me nauseated. I have
tried taking them with milk, food etc.
Nothing helped.
Now, just the thought of them makes me
sick. I really need to take one. Can
anyone suggest either a liquid one that
goes in a drink? (no taste) Or does
anyone know of one that is very small like
the One-A-Day vitamins used to be? I am a
60 year old female. Thanks foryour help.

I take GBG 10-in-one liquid multivitamin,
it has plenty of vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, in a liquid delivery system.
It tastes like concentrated orange juice
so it should be OK.

I have been taking the GBG 10 in one as
well for some time now. its faster than
taking the 6 or 7 pills mega men
requires.
Creak, the reason you feel nauseous is
because of the B vitamins. Some people
just can't tolerate them first thing in
the morning. My advice is to take your
multi after your lunch when your stomach
is full. You might also benefit from
taking a capsule or soft gel instead of a
hard tablet. You could be sensitive to one
of the binders in the tablet and capsules
also tend to be smaller.

Time of day as fatnutritionist said is a
good point.
Just about anything can cause
sensitivities for some people. Iron is a
frequent problem. I would suggest that
sensitive people first find an 'iron free'
multiple.
Softgels also can make a difference, but
not with hard-to-digest soy oil as by GNC.
Now Foods Liquid Multi Gels with flax oil
is a nice formula. Suggested dose 2 per
day, so if you take only 1 this will be
low-dose as Creak seems to desire. This
does contain iron, though a special
non-constipating type.
I don't put much stock in the original
one-a-day. Might as well eat a piece of
liver or a spoonful of yeaast. Or go
natural by taking separately:
spirulina capsule or powder for beta
carotene
liver capsule for b complex
ascorbate buffered C pills
calcium citrate with magnesium and D
(best to take calcium only with meals and
only in the afternoon)
use body lotion containing vitamin E
for potassium eat ripe bananas or take
Krebs magnesium-potassium by Enzymatic
Therapy
(Obviously many people will not want to
'go natural' by using so many things but
just a possibility to consider.)
