Question:
Has anyone used Schiff Children's Multivitamin Liquid?

My daughter couldn't stand the taste of this, but I am feeling desperate because I can't stand the chewables. And I tried the microdots and they HURT in my pouch. These vitamins have per 20ml in adult RDA:<br><ul><li>vitamin A as vitamin A acetate 5000 IU - 100% RDA</li><li>vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 80mg - 134% RDA</li><li>vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) 800 IU - 200% RDA</li><li>vitamin E (as vitamin E acetate) 20 IU - 66% RDA</li><li>Thiamin (as thiamin hydrochloride) 1.4mg - 94% RDA</li><li>Riboflavin (as riboflavin-5-phosphate) 1.6mg - 94% RDA</li><li>Niacin (as niacinamide) 18mg - 90% RDA</li><li>Vitamin B6 (as pyroxidine hydrochloride) 1.4mg - 70% RDA</li><li>Folate (as folic acid) 400 mcg - 100% RDA</li><li>Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) 6mcg - 100% RDA</li><li>Biotin 300mcg - 100% RDA</li><li>Pantothenic Acid (as d-calcium pantothenate) 10mg - 100% RDA</li><li>Iron (as ferrous sulfate) 20mg - 112% RDA</li><li>Zinc (as zinc sulfate) 16mg - 106% RDA</li></ul>Other ingredients include: maltitol, water, glycerine, propylene glycol, natural flavor, carageenan, citric acid.<br><br>Are these going to work reasonably well for me post-op? I am struggling to swallow giant calcium citrate capsules twice a day as well.    — Julia M. (posted on October 5, 2001)

I'm not sure about the vitamines... but as for the calcium citrate, I'm feeling your pain. My nutritionist and doctor told me that I specifically need calcium citrate because the calcium carbonate (Found in tums and other products) does not get absorbed correctly due to the lack of stamach acid to mix with. However, CitriCal just came out with tablets that mix with water and makes like asugar free orange drink. They're called citrical liqui-tabs and so far the only place I can find them is online at drugstore.com. Hope that helps!!
