    My multivitamin has SUGAR!!!!

    I just discovered today that the multivitamin I have been taking contains sucrose, glucose and starch. I am on my 9th day of induction, and feel great, all the benefits of induction. Even though it appears I haven't had a "clean" induction, I have been losing weight. But I have to wonder if it could have been better? Does anyone have a favorite brand that contains no "ose's" or starch?

    Centrum Silver doesn't contain sugars. Don't sweat it at this point. Chalk it up as a learning experience. I'm surprized that your multi contained sugar because most over-the-counter preparations don't contain them.

      I just went to the CVS website and pulled up Centrum Silver, and it too contains sucrose, glucose and starch. So the search is on.

      How long have you been taking it? By the looks of your impressive results, the Centrum Silver didn't seem to hurt your progress.Thanks for your imput Meg.

        I take One-A-Day Women's formula and it does have glucose, but it's near the end of the ingredients so it's probably a very miniscule amount.

          Is your multivitamin a chewable tablet? Sometimes they put sugar in them so that it taste better when chewed. Mine have sugar in them as well. They are from Trader Joes. They are one of the only ones I have found that don't upset my stomach, so I still take them from time to time.

            I found a multivitamin at Wal-Mart that doesn't have all the bad stuff. J.R.Watkins Complete Multivitamin.
