Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I just stumbled onto vistavitamins.com -- apparently they're associated with spotlighthealth.com which is affiliated with Carnie , et al. My question is: Does anyone have experience with the vitamins they sell? I've been to other web sites regarding vitamins and supplements; trying to not only find the best value for my money, but *convienence* and information. I've already dropped nearly $200 on miscellenous vitamins and supplements and am still confused as to what and how much -- it seems to me that a product that has the right amount of nutrients in one pill rather than having to take 5 or more is convienent and worth the cost. Any insight is appreciated! TIA ~ Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I dunno, but given that you are not supposed to take iron with your other vitamins, etc. I'd be suspicious of a " one vitamin fits all. " type of thing. Since I'm following my bloodwork, I'd rather have my vitamins separately so that if I end up over in one, I can lessen it, rather than have them all together in a pill. Plus - we can't do b12 in a pill - (well, those of us who are bypassed) because we just don't have the intrinsic factor to absorb it.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I take the vistavitamins. I like them! They recommend taking 8 a day I only take 4 a day 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM. I use other vitamins with them. Allot of people think they are expensive, but if they work and keep me healthy then I'm going to keep buying them. They also do not upset my stomach, which allot of vitamins do so this is a plus for me. If you call the 800 number they will send you samples of them to try and a coupon off of your first order. I asked my doctor and he said they have very adequate amounts of minerals that we need now. Hope this helps! a Question: Vista Vitamins I just stumbled onto vistavitamins.com -- apparently they're associated with spotlighthealth.com which is affiliated with Carnie , et al.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 This is why I do only 1/2 of the recommended amount so I supplement with trinsicon, calcium, stool softener, and another multivitamin! I also get a b12 shot monthly. So I don't rely on a 1 fits all pill! a Question: Vista Vitamins I just stumbled onto vistavitamins.com -- apparently they're associated with spotlighthealth.com which is affiliated with Carnie , et al.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Pam, a, , nette, and Sharon ~ Thanks so much for your comments and input. , I don't know if vistavitamins have the proper amount of anything ... henceforth my post. I'm thinking that it's probably better to just buy each tablet individually. I have seen vitalady.com and plan to order some samples soon!

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 They're not a BAD product. But they're just a multi vite in a fancy jacket. They're not " tipped " for us at all. In fact, none of the " bariatric products " I've seen are really right for us. But a few people have found a market in us, so do up special advertising and voila, you have a bariatric supplement. One product sells for $70/jug. You'd go thru 4 jugs/week to get enough out of it, and STILL have to add, calcium + D, iron + C, A, & E, and B12. LOL! Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Good point, . I hadn't thought of that angle before. With as many WLS going on nation-wide, there is a market there.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I think of us as " targets " . LOL! I mean, we're a pretty desperate population, long stigmatized for our obesity, and now we have these people catering just to " us " , and it's kinda flattering. Good thing this whole industry developed long after I started or I'd be foll;owing right along. Pre-op, what I knew about nutrition would fill a teaspoon, you know? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
