Multivitamin -- Theragran M -- anyone uses them?

Hi Friends, I ran out of my usual Centrum Silver chewables (I was taking 2 per day) and decided to buy the 'easy to swallow' Theragran M. Has anyone tried this vitamin? Do you think it would be a problem if I had two caplets a day? Is Centrum superior to Theragran M? Do you think that chewables are better absorbed than caplets? Thank you in advance for your kind response.

centrium silver I do not use it because it lists NO iron. Same with the Theregran M, NO iron listed. Theregran M has a lot of things I have no what they are too. Personally I use the Vitasmart [k-mart brand] and it has everything I need in it, cheaper too.

I take the Centrum Silver Chewable because it doesn't have iron. I think iron is better absorbed when it is taken by itself with Vitamin C only. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -155 lbs.

hmm how interesting one site doesn't list it

yeah, the one you posted does list the iron - it is listed as Ferrous Fumarate - but most companies tell people this is iron and that site didn't for some reason

iron is iron.. why must "they" call it something else

Oh and what GETS me about it? It's a real waste to put the iron in there. Sadly, as necessary as iron is for most of us, when you take it in a multi with calcium, zinc, Vit E, etc...they compete with the iron and THEY WIN. So you can't even count the iron in a multi when you take it It's like this great race and poor old iron just cannot compete. Sigh...and yet, they continue to put it in multis. Grrrrrrrr
