I know that our resident vitamin guru, Kelly will be popping in here on this one, but in the meantime I just want to say that Flintstone vitamins are not what you want!! They do not have what we need as RNYers. Personally I take Centrum chewables twice a day but there are many others that are much better for you than what you are taking now.

You don't have to take Flintstones ever.  In fact, the ASMBS recommends we avoid children's vitamins that are incomplete (as Flintstones are).  We need an adult multi with 100% of the RDA of things in it.  Centrum or something similar is a good choice.  Flintstones aren't such a good choice since they are missing a number of things we need.

My program said absolutely never Flintstones. Not an adequate vitamin for us. They steared us toward Centrum Plus, Celebrate or Spectravite.
