Does such a thing exist? I am not a fan of taking pills. In fact, I hate it. I would like to take an adult vitamin, but I will continue munching the Flintstones vitamins if I have to.

Anyone know where to look for them? The grocery store and drug store both just seem to have these huge horse pills that taste crappy when you have to cut them or crush them like I do, lol.

    They make gummy vitamins for adults. My daughter's boyfriend eats those because he has trouble swallowing pills. I don't remember the brand off hand but they are in the major stores.
    Above poster beat me to it...:wink:

    like, liquid vitamins? i know they make them for babies so im sure they have them in adult form. never seen it in store but google pulled up a lot of results for me.

    maybe vitamin powder? i guess you can drink your multi vitamin instead. i found this site ..

    I take the adult gummie vit's and they taste really good and go down easy. I take them because I cant swallow a horse pill either. Try them, i think you will like them.

    Gummy vitamins!!! They taste delicious, which reminds me I need to buy more, I've seen them in walmart and target and walgreens. Pretty much anywhere, one-a-day makes them (however you have to take 2 which is kind of ironic to me, why make ONE-a-day vitamins if you have to take TWO of them??? End philosophical rant :))

    I take Flinstones w/ Iron, but its a kid vitamin & Chewable. However I chose that because I noticed that it had the exact amounts of another vitamin pill (I think it was Centrum). Also check out the chewable ones, lol I chose flinstones because it was chewable and only 5 something at walmart and all the other citamins were 8 or 9

    I had some adult chewables from Centrum. They were kind of orange tasting, not gross at all. Or the adult gummies like everyone has said. I went back to kids vitamins tho because the adult gummies I had didn't have any iron and the kids did.

    You can get of lot of vitamins (not all) in emulsion form. With these you just put a drop a day on or under your tongue. I recommend getting reputable brands like Thorne Research or Biotics (there are lot of others but these are my favorites). Be careful with gummy vitamins and some chewables. You want to make sure that you are getting the vitamins in their most absorbent forms. Often gummy and chewables use a cheaper, less absorbent version of the vitamin. If this is the case why bother?

    I love gummy vitamins! They are like fruit snacks so you have to be careful and just take your alloted amount.

    I take Vitafusion Gummy Multi Vitamins. I got them at Walmart for like 6 dollars and last time I got the only bottle that was left!

    They taste like candy and are really gentle on the stomach too.. Def. look into them!

    i just can't remember to take vitamins if i have to swallow them. So i have the centrum pills orange chewable, and then the os-cal i think. its calcium and D. Those come in either choc, or vanilla.

    What about a multi vitamin effervescent? They have them here in the UK anyway. I don't likr tablets either, but can't eat the jellies because I don't eat gelatin.
