chewable vitamins?

[kittiechan]

I take gummy vitamins and I was wondering if any other people would too.

I have a friend who's an EMT and she said because of my body weight that it's better for my body to take them. I only weigh about 94 lbs.

My vitamins are basically gummy bears and it's hard to resist eating more than the dosage. They're pretty yummy!

So would you take them?

I've actually been meaning to get those chewable Flintstones ones.

My doctor recommended them for when I'm on my period, something about iron definiciency etc

But I'd maaaybe try the chewy ones ^^

Seems you'll just have to check for more Iron *nods*

anything chewable is easier to take than a big pill, I have trouble swallowing pills..

Flintstones Vitamins are the BESTTT

But the gummy bears taste just like gummy bears!

I have taken "Bassets chewy Vitamins" they taste nice. Not seen the Gummi bear ones in the UK.

I used to love Flinstones chewable vitamins. Now that I'm an 'adult' I find that without the delicious taste, I usually neglect to take any vitamins

Keep some regular gummy bears on hand, if you don't already. After you chew the vitamin gummy, treat yourself to a few regular gummies to satisfy the urge for more.:smile:

Taking any kind of hard pill is something I hate more than just about anything else. I've never even heard of gummi vitamins. Sounds like something I need to check out...

Lol, I used to have to take those when I was little but I thought they tasted gross, so I always hid them inside the couch :tongue:

I don't take any vitamins, so I guess I'm going to die before all of you guys.

 

[Martin]

Yea I do take vitamins, they just taste horrible.

BIG WARNING!! Only take the prescribed amount of vitamins. There are two types of vitamins, water soluble, and oil soluble. Water soluble vitamins such as vitamin C can be taken in quantity, because the body flushes out that which it cannot use. But oil soluble vitamins such as D (I think), accumulate, and can make you very sick, or kill you. So only take a pill a day.

Yea, without the nice fruity flavor, I often forget to take my vitamins... it's sad really...

Yeah, too many is bad, but I don't take any on a regular basis. I know I should, but I'm too cheap. I just try to eat my fruits and veggies everyday. = )

 

[Chillhouse]

Are we supposed to have vitamins everyday? I hope I'm not any less healthy for it. I used to get the flinstones kind when I was a kid, but they tasted really bad.

 

[Takkun]

Well most people do not get the recommended daily value of many vitamins.
So if you went to a nutritionist, they would probably tell you to take more of this or that vitamin. But if you're pretty healthy, you should be fine.

But it's VERY important for pre-pubescent children, pregnant/ nursing women, and older people to get enough.

Average teens/ adults who don't fall into those categories should be okay with out them, though.

I remember when I was 10 I ate the WHOLE BOTTLE of Gummy Vitamins! I was fine, just a lot of indigestion.
