Stop Flinstone vits: Most MVI's are taken once a day. Better to get better quality multivitamins that are well absorbed. At 80 pounds, you only need one tablet of a high quality multivitamin.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

In the past, many…: …docs would have answered "no" with the explanation that a nutritious diet should be adequate. Today, however, many docs feel vitamins are beneficial: people under much stress benefit from extra b & c. Vitamin d is being advised for many preventive reasons. Multivitamins often contain trace minerals essential to good health that many might not otherwise receive.

Question 6

would it be safe for an adult to take children's vitamins?

Question 7

is taking 2 flinstone vitamins equivalent to taking a prenatal?

Accepted Answer

Not the best choice: This might be better than nothing but I do no recommend it because flintstones vitamins are loaded with unhealthy chemicals like artificial colors, hydrogenated oils and ingredients derived from genetically modified corn & soy. I would not want to expose a developing baby to these chemicals. I advise a prenatal with the l-5-mthf form of Folic Acid if possible like vitamin code or thorne prenatals.

Question 8

can you tell me, are child vitamins (like flintstones) ok for adults?

Accepted Answer

Childrens vitamins: Children's vitamins have been formulated to give the recommended doses for them. An adult has different needs. If you have a problem swallowing a pill there are chewable multivitamins for adults or even decent tasting liquid vitamins that are available at a reasonable price.

Question 9

at what age should a person switch from children's to adult's vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Never: A number of recent studies have raised serious questions about taking multi-vitamins. You or your child should not be taking synthetic vitamins, or any supplements for that matter unless advised by a doctor for a known deficiency. You and your child are better off with a full diet of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains, and wild salmon. Spend your money on real foods not hype.

Question 10

what happens if an adult eats an entire bottle of children's gummy vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Little: You will probably get a sugar hit as gummie vitamins are sugar based.  Most of the vitamins will immediately get excreted in your urine after they are picked up by your body stores.  You will almost certainly have no detectable effects.
