    I had the same problem - I would vomit every time I took a vitamin. I tried different brands, taking at different times of the day and taking in with a variety of different food but nothing worked.

    I take the chewable Centrum Complete now and I have no issues what so ever.

    I made a video about another solution because I have a similar problem. Its cheaper than the gummies and one issue with the gummies is they take a lot of stuff out of it because of limitations to that particular formulation. I hope you like it!

    I have the same issue but am anemic and need the iron - I cut them in half and just take half a day and try to also eat some iron rich foods.

    Don't supplement iron unless directed by your doctor. It's easy to overdose. My sister did.

    Iron tablets are notorious for makeing people feel sick.

    Vitamin supplementation in general is only benefitial if you have a deficiency; your body won't do anything exciting with any extras other than excrete them (mostly in urine).

    If a doctor hasn't prescribed/recommended the vitamins and iron tablets for medical reason, don't take them if they are disagreeing with you.

    If they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor let them know the reaction you are having. They may want to adjust the dose.
