    If you're eating balanced throughout the day you don't need them anyway.

    If your body is rejecting it, I'm thinking you don't need it. I would advise, don't take it before bed and sleep through the sick! If you eat a healthy/balanced diet you really don't need any vitamins.

    Good luck! :)

    I have never been able to take them in the morning. I take them at night right before bed. I think it is the iron that makes me so ill. I couldn't take prenatals for the same reason.

    I used to take Centrum for women and always felt nauseated afterwards. It got to the point where just the smell makes me sick. I switched to Centrum chewables (orange) and don't feel sick any more, but do burp quite a bit and can taste the orange of it

    My solid women's daily multi-vitamin makes me sick too. I have actually thrown up from it before and it's not because I didn't eat breakfast and it's not because I didn't drink enough water. (I drink a LOT of water.) My body just doesn't like them. Now I take my vitamins separately (B12, E, Biotin, Calcium +D, iron, etc) and I'm totally fine. A nutritionist told me that the solid single-pill multis are very difficult to digest and to look into a multi-vitamin that comes in a set of different pills for each day. That way each vitamin or mineral is in the type of pill/capsule/tablet that is best for you, not all just lumped into one solid pill.

    I've also heard on these boards that some people have had better luck with prenatals.
