I was just wondering what you use as a multivitamin or what you believe is the best? I am currently not taking one and would like to start because I am lacking some of my vitamins at the end of the day! Thanks in advance :)

    I know this sounds silly, but I take children's vitamins, two a day. The adult ones, especially One a Day, make me ill when I take them without a full stomach. Not just with a small meal, but I have to feel STUFFED before I could take one of them without getting sick. A lot of folks here may tell you to take One a Day Women's, but if you find you're getting nauseous after taking them, try two tablets of Flintstone's vitamins. The chewable ones have iron, so I take those (not the gummies). My doctor recommended that to me, and it's been working great.

    I also take Biotin (my hair is growing NONSTOP from it), a B Complex, and a Viactiv Chew. I'm kind of a vitamin freak! lol

    I personally take Vitafusion Multi-Vites Gummy Vitamens.

    They can be found at Walmart or Target for about 6 dollars.. They taste so yummy and are much easier to take then pills.

    I was taking the Women's Sport multivitamins from Vitamin World before I got pregnant. In addition to the vitamins and minerals they had herbal complexes for female health and glucosamine and chondroitin for joints.

    Thanks Ladies! I have heard that about One A Day, my friend used to take them and she got really sick as well. The other ones mentioned are the ones I looked at Walmart today!

    i use the gummy ones when I remember to take them. I agree that the One A Days are HUGE and I can't swallow them along with the fact they make me ill, too!

    I like GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Vitamins. Unlike others I've tried I can take them on an empty stomach without getting sick.

    You should be careful about taking children's vitamins: they are formulated for children. The idea for "adult gummies" is better.
    I take women's one-a-day, but can only take it after I eat. I also sometimes take half in the morning and half in the evening. I've read that the body has a hard time absorbing the vitamins all at once, so taking half and half can help maintain levels in your system.

    the absolute best is prob AOR Orthrocore but it's expensive. there are other good multis on the market but a lot depends on your goals. some other good ones Source Naturals Life Force, Controlled Labs Orange Triad, Gaspari Anavite, SAN DR Goodfood
