Is it a variety of vitamins? A multi, calcium citrate, iron and sublingual B12? $40 a month is a good price if it includes all that.
It's not one of those all-in-one vitamins, is it?

It also won't work for B12 because we have to take that in a sublingual that dissolves under the tongue, or else the nasal spray or injections, because we lack intrinsic factor in our pouch.
