Multi vitamins

[DaisyB]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a brand of multi vitamin that's available in the UK and doesn't cause them any digestive issues? There are so many different brands I don't know where to start and hoping someone can help.

I'm on a Paleo diet so the supplements don't have to be vegan or veggie, and also I take separate ferrous sulphate supplements.

I've also been considering taking Omega 3 supplements if anyone has any recommendations?

Thanks

Personally I wouldn't bother. I tried them and they did nothing

I would rather get blood tests to see if there's any deficiencies and go from there.

Remember too much of certain vitamins can be very harmful

I agree with rygon - there's no need to take vitamins unless you have a deficiency or other exceptional circumstances. I'm currently in hospital and being given them, because I'm very underweight, but I don't see the need since my blood tests are always fine, and every vitamin pill I've been tried on upset my stomach a bit.

Thanks both for your advice. There are no specific deficiencies that I know of other than iron so I guess I was looking at supplements as more of a 'reinforcement'. Guess I'll be saving myself a bit of money

UnXmas, I hope you are feeling better and out of hospital soon.
