Recommendations on Supplements & Vitamins

[Yakomo]

Hey everyone, new to the board here, Accidentally posted this question in the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on some good multivitamin brands to look out for. I was stupid enough to purchase Centrum "Carb Assist" vitamins but I was too lazy to read the massive list of ingredients until I got home and found that it has Starch & GLUCOSE & SUCROSE(omgz ). I was a bit ticked off, how could they advertise "For your low carb lifestyle" on the bottle when it has 3 of the deadly sins of Atkins in the ingredients!

Any recommendations on some good multivitamins would be much appreciated :help

I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is a good one, but I take One A Day Carb Smart...

most vits will have a starch of some kind as that is what holds them together in pill shape.

Take your book and go shopping look for vits at your store that come close to the atkins label but not the atkins priice and go with that ans se how you feel and what your doctor says. I know after taking my mens vit since they don't have iron and eating my Atkins induction veggie choices I was potassium deficient and my doc recommended some potassium OTC supplemtnets. As I progressed on my Atkins andadded back the healthy veggies and fruits from the OWL rungs i didn't need the potassium any more and my doc stopped it.


Happy low carbing.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look around, I'm just afraid that the starch conent would throw the weightloss off or stall it. Even though I'm pretty sure it's an exceptionally small dose. But the Glucose and Sucrose definately isn't something I would want.
