Vitamins

[Chrissy_1978]

I'm in Canada and having a hard time finding a multi-vitamin that doesn't contain iron. Is it absolutely necessary to omit iron? I'm not taking anything except fish oil as a result, but am worried about the lack of other vitamins and minerals in my diet. Any suggestions?

Edit: Oops, nevermind. I only just realized that there is a vitamin thread. Sorry.

I had a similar problem. I found that the Equate (walmart brand) Men's Daily vitamin has no iron. I've not been able to find a vitamin for my wife yet that contains none. Any of you more long time atkin dieters care to weigh in with the vitamins you use?

Look for multivitamins that are geared for seniors. Yes, seniors. You don't have to be a certain age to take a senior multivitamin, but they usually made without iron. Check the label to be certain. In the US, Centrum Silver is a multivitamin without iron.

Best of luck!
