multi vitamins on Atkins

[rwarren]

I have been reading Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book and passed upon two paragraphs that stated what vitamins I needed on this diet. All was well, until I got to the store and noticed on the ingredients that it includes corn syrup and glucose. I looked and looked and all the supplements seemed to have these ingredients. I even researched the issue on the internet and the answer i got was to take 50+ years(seniors). It States that of course because you need a suppliment without iron because you get a lot in this diet but states nothing about these two ingredients.Will this hinder me on the induction? Please help me figure this out.

Multivitamins should not have glucose or corn syrup.

Where in the world are you?

Re: multi vitamins on Atkins

We are in the USA it lists under ingrediends not under suppliment facts. this is Centrum Silver 50+. lists corn starch. modified food starch, and sucruse we have checked many many places. all the multividemins seem to have somthing like that in it. this does not contain any iron.

thanks, we would really like to clear this up.

Centrum Silver is fine. The amount of corn starch and sucrose in it is really really small.

I take the one a day advantage 50+ for women. I think in most the sugars are in the coating so not enough to hurt you. I have noticed down at the bottom of my label it has a little note that says contains soy but doesn't say how much. DH takes the mens version and his doesn't say that.

Doesn't seem to be enough to effect my weight loss so I will continue to take them. I think the benefits outweigh any tiny risk of sugar or soy.
