> I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience, I take calcium, mag, zinc, vit D combo and some extra Mag. I seem to tolerate them fine. Any time I try just a plain 'ole multi vit and mineral or separate, say B vits, I feel awful. It's not just a GI thing, but a all over "bad", achy feeling, headache. If I stop taking them, within a few days, I feel alright. I've tried various types and forms, taking them different ways, etc. and it happens with all tries. I would really like to use a Multi vit/min for just overall insurance, but, well, I can't seem to tolerate them. Anybody else have this problem? I know a number of folks here suppliment ALOT, How do you tolerate them?
Well, I don't have the bad result you describe. I've heard of this same thing once before, and I think this friend finally decided it had something to do with either the binders or yeast (sometimes used as a source for B-vitamins). She eventually found a product she could tolerate, but I have no idea what it is.
Have you tried a liquid product?
