Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 I was trying to find a good liquid vitamin before surgery and all of them but one had alcohol in them. The one that didn't I bought at GNC, and it didn't have enough vitamins or iron in it when I got back and compared it to what we are supposed to be getting (not to mention it tasted terrible, too. It was supposed to be cherry . . .) Please let me know if you find a good one! I don't have too much trouble with the tablets, but they sit hard in the stomach. :{ Kind regards, smootgen@... wrote: > > Hi Karin, > No I wouldn't try to take three One Source Vitamins at one > time.

So far i am satisfied but i am always on the look for the PERFECT VITAMIN.... Zoey 4/20/2000 262/208 Cigna Approved Louisiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
