Multivitamin Recommendation

[Nikki2777]

Hi - I would like to start taking a multivitamin that's a senior formula type (mid 50s here, so probably ready for that).  

What do you take and recommend?  I don't like gummie (taste) or gel cap (oils) types, so just plain old fashioned pills are best.

 

Also, I'm currently taking 1000 IU of D3 along with my thyroid meds (Synthroid generic), per doctor's orders for low D.

 

I assume I would stop taking the D3 if I'm getting 1000 iu in my multi, correct?

 

Thanks

I use the MegaFood brand food-based multivitamin, the one labeled "men over 40 one daily". I think they have a similar product for women.

I take a women's One Daily put out by Wegmans if you have a store near you. Reasonable price and have had no problems with it.

Do ask your doctor if you should drop your D supplement when you start a multi. The doc may want to recheck your levels.

New here, do not have Celiac disease, avoid gluten due to CRP (cardiac inflammation marker). I was researching some supplements today and saw Gluten a Free, but as I read it said 'fermented wheat that is gluten free'. My question is, can this be counted on not to have an inflammatory effect? Thanks in advance.

BB11 I would not take it. I also wouldn't take any vitamin with wheat or barley grass. It is important to read the whole ingredient list on any supplements we take as labeling laws are different for drugs and supplements.

I should note that if you are not celiac you might tolerate them but personally I would choose something else.
