Bariatric Multivitamin Capsule Recommendations?
I've graduated to capsules, which couldn't come soon enough. Chewables of all brands make me gag. I've always been a baby when it comes to swallowing pills, so I need to know what is the most manageable brand of bariatric multivitamin capsule.
Thanks for any recommendations!

My doctor's office recommends Thorne Medipro Multi Complete capsules. But, they are pretty big. They are about an inch long by 1/4 inch. And I have to take 3 per day. $55 for a 90 day supply.

We don't need a bariatric specific multi, just one that has 100% of most of the 28 vitamins and minerals we need. You might want to look for ones that require multiple pills - since those would be smaller.

I like the Celebrate capsules. They don't have iron and I think that makes them more convenient. I can take them with calcium or with a separate iron capsule and not have to worry about mixing iron and calcium. That way I spread out the 3 capsules that make up a serving over the course of the day and get better absorption.
