    I get a year's supply of Multivitamin und Mineral Brausetabletten when I go to Germany in the summer. They are kind of like the Airborn or Emergen-C sold here in the states but have a more complete profile. I dissolve them in mineral water and drink. It is the only way I can get supplemental iron without puking LOL. I live in a rural area but if you are near a city, you might be able to find something comparable.

    Damn, that didn't even cross my mind believe it or not! I'm on 1200 cal a day, but when I eat a bit more, I'm ok the next day. Thanks for pointing that out!

    I didn't read all of these, so if this is a repeat, I'm sorry.

    I started taking the Vitafusion gummies from Costco, I haven't been sick since I started taking them regularly, last summer.

    I tried a Women's One A Day, but I had a major nausea, and I have a hard time swallowing large foul tasting pills. So... it's a gummy for me. It works. :)

    Here is an example of what I'm talking about, from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Vitafusion-Multi-Vites-Vitamins-Orange/dp/B0015CG01A

    I don't do multi's, but I take a fair amount of the vitamins on this list. http://perfecthealthdiet.com/recommended-supplements/

    I'd definitely look at that first. You can also track some vitamins on MFP. I used to take a multi-vitamin, but since I've changed my eating habits I'm getting most everything I need from food. I am vitamin D deficient, so I take a supplement and I take fish oil, but that's it these days. If you believe you may be deficient in something, have your doctor send you for some blood work and just focus on those vitamins you are deficient in. Iron and vitamin D are two biggies that a lot of people are deficient in.
