How many of the chewables should i be taking a day?
Im currently taking just a multi but have heard the Centrum 50+ vitamins are good for bypass patients.

Thanks in advance

2 multis per day and you should also be taking calcium, D3, and B12

Yup, i take vitamin D drops, b12, calcium and prevacid.
Just was not sure how many multi vitamins per day. So should i be taking them at the same time or 1 twice a day?

Take them at different times, one in the AM one PM (I always did my multi at waking and with last snack). There are a number of ingredients which can not be absorbed all at once when two are taken together.

Chewables are generally NOT good enough as they have little or no iron. Same goes for childrens or "gummy" vitamins. Most centres recommend either a prenatal or a multivitamin with 18 mg iron twice per day.

Some centres, do, but not all.

Sometimes the best support you can get isn't all purple puddles and pink rainbows.

I take Iron w/ Vit C at bedtime since the calcium in a multi blocks the Iron from being absorbed properly.

Seems like all centres are different and have different rules to follow so what my doc centre may say could be totally different than others, funny how some people actually get mad over this stuff!! Lol
