Where to buy?
For protein drinks, you can get a bunch of different samples at vitalady.com, and I suggest doing that. That way you don't waste a bunch of money on a big tub of something only to find you don't like it.
I buy my multi and calcium citrate tablets and Meijer. I get vitamin C and Sundown Perfect Iron there, too.
I buy Calcet creamy bites (calcium citrate) from Celebrate (celebratevitamins.com) and caramel calcium citrate chews from Bariatric Advantage (bariatricadvantage.com).
I order my Upcal D (powdered calcium citrate) from Colonial Medical.
I get my D3, vitamin A, zinc and magnesium oxide from vitalady.com.
I have also ordered iron, C and a few other things from drugstore.com and iherb.com, when they've had good deals.
I get my B12 shots from Kroger pharamacy (with a prescription from my PCP).

My multi contains 70% of the RDA of vitamin A, and it really should be 100%. Plus, some of it comes from beta carotene, which we really don't absorb well. I added additional vitamin A when my labs showed my A level was dropping.
I take the magnesium oxide to prevent constipation.
And yeah, my multi has 100% of the RDA of C in it, but I take extra C with my iron to aid in the absorption of the iron.
Sublingual B12 is fine. I just didn't like them. Made me feel nauseous. I like the injections better.
