Which multivitamins

[kittykat6279]

Hi guys, what mutlivits do you all use? Last time I was on atkins I lost a lot of weight but I didnt use vitamins and my hair and skin went terrible so I need to get some this time. Preferably some that are not horse pill size!! lol I have trouble swallowing big pills. Thanks x

Hello, I'm interested to know this too, but although it may be different for a bloke.

Wow Misterj that is fantastic!!!!!
I have read different things, I think if you get a quality one I get sanatogen.
I read somewhere that the vits should not have iron in them and sanatogen doesnt, hope that helps????

Hi guys

I take a few pills B mix, iron plus C (I'm anaemic) and CoEnzyme Q10 - I buy them all from Superdrug as the pill sizes are small i know some people take a multivit, and chromium (a blood sugar balancer).

If you're interested in vitamins, Dr Atkins wrote this - Dr. Atkins' Vita-nutrient Solution: Your Complete Guide to Natural Health: Nature's Answer to Drugs: Amazon.co.uk: Robert C. Atkins: Books

You can pick up a copy for a penny and it really is invaluable reading.

Another to consider is L-Carnitine, which is really helpful in fat metabolism. It helps reduce fat mass whilst promoting muscle mass, really useful in any diet. Trouble is, the only ones I've ever found are like liquorice torpedo size.

Good idea Jayne - L-Carntine is one of the essential amino acids, might be worth speaking to someone in Holland and Barrett about a combo pill (that isn't the size of a torpedo! )

Dr Atkins raves about amino acids! But having said that, it's worth checking out the possible side effects of amino acids here http://www.ehow.com/facts_4894266_side-effects-amino-acid-supplements.html

Bloody hell guys!! haha I was hoping my asda's own multivitamin would be good enough lol

 

[Jiggerz]

Haha, sorry Kat! Those are good enough, the least you should take is your multivit, all the others are just a bonus. Best thing to do is wait until H&B do their wonderful buy one get another for a penny offer, then stock up as a lot of these supplements are quite pricey.

Yes I would buy what you can afford, what ever your comfortable paying, I got 3 different vitamins for £10 from asda, that works for me.
