Vitamin Needed

Silverfox1 — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 18:49:55 GMT

My doctor has told me I need to take a Multi-Vitamin we some iron in it. I have never taken a vitamin and am at a lost as to which one to take. I sure could use some suggestions, please! BTW, I am 74 if this matters.

Many thanks!!

I take a Centrum for women over 50 daily and I have also taken the Walmart version called Equate multivitamin for women over 50. I have also taken a over the counter iron tablet. Hope that helps

I'm sure any second now someone who drank the Kool-Aid will chime in and tell you how Andrew Lessman's vitamins changed their life.

@Silverfox1

I take Centrum Silver for women. It does have some iron in it.

Did your doctor say how much iron he wants you to take?

Your doctor should have made suggestions. I don't take a multivitamin but buy what I do take from either Walgreens or CVS. IMO, there's not much difference from brand to brand.

I'm tired of taking so many pills, so I thought I'd make it a little more fun by taking my multi vitamin in a gummy form.

Ask your pharmacist. They are usually happy to help.

@Silverfox1 I take Centrum or 1 a day for those over 50 (the gummy version since I don't like huge pills). I also take a very small pill, Move Free Ultra (available at Target and other retailers), that helps with my joints. I'm 61 and pretty active due to my job, so they have really made a difference for me.

I take this one too, or Sentry Senior, same thing, but there is NO iron in it, most supp for women over 50 have no iron. Women over 50 dont need the iron as younger women do.

I totally agree with Centrum vitamins, and prefer gummies.

@Kachina624 I don't think much of him and his sales pitches and so many products all overloaded with too many supplements. I really don't trust his pitch at all.

That being said, I did buy the smallest 1 a day type of his (hasn't arrived yet) because I am trying to go more and more to USA made when I can especially vitamines--and yes I know they import ingredients.

But it was not too expensive, easy and I'll try it. But him I think is way too hard sell and pushing supplements people don't need.

@Sooner Many people here think Lessman hung the moon. I happen to feel as you do. I can't understand how they sit and listen to him drone on about vitamins hour after hour.

How does a consumer tell if one vitamin is better than another?

My Opinion You should definitely ask your doctor what she recommends....You dont want to take too much or too little....She should of mentioned a few I would think.

@Kachina624 I would worry about poisoning myself with all the stuff he tells you to take!

@Silverfox1 @Centrum Silver for Women Over Fifty is good for me. It contains 8mg of iron. That's about 40% of the RDA for iron. They have two versions now, including one with smaller size pills available. They also make gummies.

I have had back problems for years and have always been open to more natural remedies, as I cannot have injections due to a scary reaction years ago.

Well, always “on the hunt,” Lessman’s “Tumeric 400 Curcumin” has turned my life around. CBD oil seemed to work quite a while back, but didn’t longer term.

I am sure many might doubt me, but I am having so many good days for quite some time. Some weather conditions may still bother my back, but I can tolerate those few times.

All I can say is that it is working for me, otherwise I would never think of posting this.

I agree with your assessmant of Lessman I just can't watch him go on and on about how his vitamins are so much better. I take the Centrum Senior or it's Walmart alternative and it works just as well in my opinion

@Goodie2shoes I am not arguing that, but I want to try to find USA made ones. And I'm not a fan of Walmart either.

I find vitamins from "MegaFood: Farm Fresh Multivitamins & Supplements" much easier on the stomach and GI tract!

They have a website.

I've been taking Kirkland adult multivitamin gummies for several years. I purchase them at Costco, but you can also find them on amazon.

I also take Kirkland adult calcium gummies, 500 mg. with D3 (Costco). They are gummies also.

I love getting up in the morning, getting my coffee and knowing that I can have some "candy" first thing in the morning. {*_*}
