vitamin help--please

[mckeev5]

I have tried One A Day weight smart vitamins and they make me nauseous. I take them in the morning while I am eating. I have tried taking them with milk to coat my stomach. Neither seems to help. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or alternatives?

Thank you!

Hi, sometimes its the iron in the vitamin that causes stomache upset. Try another vitamin supplement without iron and see if that helps. There are also vitamins with different iron salts that are less upsetting to your tummy. I would avoid the mega-dose vitamin supplements that you find in health food stores. The body usually doesn't need these high doses. If a doctor is perscribing high dose of a certain supplement(s) for a certain condition than go along with what he prescribes.

Sabrina,

I have tried those too and they make me sick. Matter of fact, everyone that I know that has tried them it has made sick. I switched over the Women's One a day and Citracal and have felt fine. I think it was the Green Tea Extract or the extra Chromium that was making me sick.

Either way, I hope you get to feeling better!

No prescription. I just wanted an extra boost. I will have to look at the vitamins more closely for the iron. I do remember that I had problems with iron when I had to take it when I was pregnant with my first son and then I couldn't take them with either of my other sons either. They made me sick. Thanks for your help.
