Pages: 1 Vitamin consumers watch out!       #68585 - 05/07/04 03:16 PM Edit Reply Quote tarabara04 Reged: 04/06/04 Posts: 442 Loc: Bay Area, California, USA Okay..so I was going to go food shopping and I was almost out of vitamins but didn't feel like going to the health food store, so I researched big brand name vitamins online. I found out that most of the centrum vitamins have lactose in them! AND..the kids chewable vitamins of most of the brands have Aspertame (sp?) in them. SO watch out! The One A Day vitamins seem to be safe, though! I picked out the One A Day Essential vitamin, as it is a little smaller/easier to swallow for "young adults"/people with difficulty swallowing pills. So I just wanted to let you guys know because I know people, including myself, have asked about vitamins before and I don't want you to get a bad kind!! Okie Dokie..hope this helps! Have a great weekend! -------------------- If you live life to love, you'll love to live life.

Usually it is hidden somewhere in the ingredients. I found out it was in my vitamins the hard way after I had D and cramping on and off for several weeks. Also, too much iron can upset the stomach.

This is in reference to the children's chewable which adults can take also.

Then I recently found them in my health food store. And I believe you can buy them online. Check Freeda.com (I'm not positive that is the correct web address, but you can give it a try).
