Multivitamins

I haven't seen many liquid multivitamins and many of the ones I have seen, are missing a lot of important ingredients.  One that comes to mind right off is the Wellesse multi.  It has no minerals in it.

Celebrate makes a product called ENS which is like a drink mix.  Looks sorta like those individual packets of ENS.  It's a multi plus 500 mg calcium citrate.  It has all the stuff we need in a multi and it tastes good (I think).  It's pricy, though.

You need to look at the labels.  Look for 100% of the RDA of most stuff.  It should list all the vitamins A, a bunch of B's, C, D, E, K, and a bunch of minerals including zinc, copper, selenium.  There should be a percentage next to each thing and look for one that has 100% of most of those things.  Then you need to take two a day.

Sometimes you have to do a little math.  Like, on the bottle of Bariatric Fusion, you will see 100% next to most of the things listed.  but that is for FOUR tablets.  So that's why you'd have to double it and take EIGHT, because we need 200% of the RDA total for most things.
