FLINTSTONES VITAMINS
First, they are low on vitamin A. The ASMBS recommends we take 200% of the RDA of most stuff, which would mean 10,000 IU vitamin A, and one Flintstones tablet only has 3000 IU, so two of them would only give you 6000 IU. BUT 33% of that is beta carotene, which is not absorbed well at all, so basically if you took two Flintstones, you'd only get about 4000 IU vitamin A, less than half of what you need.
They have NO vitamin K, magnesium, potatssium, selenium, manganese, chromium or molybdenum.
