help re dissolvable or chewable vitamins? (graphic)

March 27, 2003

Hello all you brave souls

I think I have just discovered that my " centrum A-Zinc with lutein " daily

vitamins are sometimes not disssolving-- with as much as half of each tablet

being excreted without 'melting. " (don't ask)

I need a good daily vitamin that has 100% RDA iron and the other usual good

things in it each day that is digestable and non-constipating. I am a very

proximal rny. And ancient in age.

Does anyone have a vitamin they are sure dissolves ok? Maybe a chewable?

You know, I just wonder if Centrum has some tablets in a single bottle that

are like, um, hmmm, like more jammed up with more glue than other ones in the

same bottle. You know, like have too much binder in them and don[t dissolve.

I found that the excreted hard remains of the tablets will NOT dissolve in a

cup water (don't ask). They've been standing in that water for about two

hours now. (dont ask)

I bought this Centrum at Costco. The expiration date is 12/93. I feel I can't

take a chance like this again. I used to take Flintstonees chewables (two a

day) ever since surgery, but coudn't hardly stand the sour taste and so

changed to Centrum about 3-4 months ago. Maybe its part of why i have been so

exhausted. I hope I have not hurt myself. Should probably go have blood drawn

asap maybe.

thanks for any help you can give

love,

Ceep,

Is this a typo? If not, better file them with the " standing water, "

but if you still have the receipt, try to get your money back!

As for your question, I'm afraid I can't help there, as I still do a

couple of Flinstone's Complete every day. I just can't handle pills

well.

Hugs,

Dear Ceep Momma!!

I have heard this on several occasions. Someone once told me that their

brother-in-law works for a port a company.........he said when they

power spray the bottoms out there is usually a big solid pile of " Centrum "

vitamins...............

Personally I take an Adult Chewable. It is a " Nature's Plus " Multi-Vitamin

and Mineral Dietary Supplement. It Pineapple Flavored and taste awesome. I

get it at GNC. P.

I am not ancient in age (tho I aspire to become so) or proximal. I have

heard that there are adult chewables out there. Do you have a pharmacy that

is associated with a medical complex? WE have one near by and they carry

things I have NEVER seen in Drug stores! Also, there are still pharmacy's

that can MAKE UP meds for you. There is one in Bremerton where I used to

live and they could make things for you based on what you need. Like a

Calcium that actually DISOLVED in a drink instead of being grit at the

bottom of the glass. I am just wondering what you would come up with if you

went to www.google.com and did a search on adult chewable vitamins. I buy

the Costco chewable vits and they taste different then the Flinstone ones.
