I know a lot of people that take vitamins, and I myself have been thinking about it. I know I need more Iron, as for the past year I have REALLY cut back on my red meat, and although I eat a lot of dark green vegetables I don't think its enough. I eventually start to get more and more tired until I change my diet back or start taking iron pills.
I am wondering about everyone's opinions, not only in effectiveness but also in edibility. I can't seem to regularly take large vitamins, as about 50% of the time it turns in my throat (Centrum) and gets stuck.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with vitamin chewables or powders. There is so much binder and filler in the pills.
I'm looking for really maybe Calcium, Iron and Vitamin-D to increase their absorption rate. That's about it, with as little filler as possible. I'd rather it taste horrible and be chewable than some of these peanut sized pills that have no reason to be that large. I don't think I'm deficient in anything else. My wife's doctor recommended her to take something similar as her body has a resistance to iron absorption which causes hair loss if she's not taking it.
