I think that is very wise. I am interested to see if CLOS comments on this, but

I have a friend here who had RNY and she takes Flintstones chewables. I am

always interested to hear what other surgeons are telling their patients to do.

(experienced surgeons) So last week I bought a bottle of Flintstone chewables

(actually I bought the much cheaper Equate brand) and have added them to my One

Source. I haven't had any blood work done, so I don't know if I was down in any

of my counts but I thought I would go ahead and take this in hopes of staying on

top of everything.

Thanks for the info and let us know how your levels turn out when you have them

tested again.

-------------- Original message --------------

Let me say right now I am NOT giving advice and am NOT endorsing the

information below - just giving it as information. Everyone has to make

decisions for themselves and do what is right for themselves.

I was having trouble remembering to take my vitamins and am currently

paying the price by having a low B12 level and low iron levels. So - I

was trying to find a way to remember to take my vitamins regularly. I

also think it makes sense that a chewable vitamin would be absorbed more

easily than a " horse pill " . So I spent several minutes reading package

labels at the pharmacy. The first thing I noticed was that the Centrum

chewable which is an " adult vitamin " had the same ingredients as the

children's chewable!

Below is what I found for Wal-Mart One source which is what Dr. R

recommends. The value after the ingredient is what is in One Souce and

the value in brackets is the value found in One Source Active Kids

Complete. I have found that what works for me is keeping the bottle on

my desk and I am taking six per day for a while instead of 3. The

values are very similar as far and I feel great. We'll see in a month

or so what my labs are doing though. I do supplement with additional

iron and sublingual B12 as well as B1 and B6.

One again - NOT telling anyone to switch - just providing information!

O feel I must mention that someone privately pointed out to me that

some vitamins in large doses are toxic -- like vitamin A. So - be

cautious with everything.

Just a quick note on vitamins. I've been doing some heavy research on vitamin

and mineral supplementation. In my studies, I have learned that for the human

body to operate at its fullest potential, it needs 91 nutrients daily, 60

minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 3 fatty acids. Check your labels,

are you getting all of that? I also found that the body only absorbs about 10%

of the vitamins and minerals when taken in the pill form. If it is in the

chelated form (amino acids added to bond with for better absorption) about 40%

of the vitamins and minerals are absorbed. In the colloidal form (liquid)

about 98% of the vitamins and minerals are absorbed. I have been on a liquid

vitamin and mineral supplement that offers all 91 of the nutrients, and have

only been taking it once a day. My labs have all been perfect and I have so

much more energy. It is a little pricey ($60.00 a month plus shipping), but

hey...I spent $17,000.00 on this surgery, I figure I'm worth that and another

$60.00 a month. If any of you want any more information about the supplement I

am using, e-mail me privately at jewely@... . I will be happy to talk with

you.
