and if so, what kind? Do you buy them at the pharmacy, or the health food stores?

We're just getting over a sickness here that sent one to the dr.'s office. The dr. instructed me to give her one Flintstone vitamin per day to build up her blood work #s.

Lisa, do you happen to sell Shaklee? I am SO impressed with their basic H cleaner (or whatever the super concentrated "natural" stuff is that works great on everything.) I'm hesitant to become a "member" or distributor but it looks like a good deal in the long run.
PM me if you are involved with the company. thanks

And we are infrequent and forgetful vitamin takers- but we did get in the habit of taking "Emergen C" during the winter months (the kids took 1/2 a packet) and we stayed much more healthy- which I would like to think is because of the vitamins. Trader Joes actually sells the same thing, in their own brand, at 1/2 the price...

What is the Trader Joe's brand called?

We take a multivitamin here every day- Walmart or Target brand with iron. We don't eat a lot of red meat, and my ds had borderline low iron at his 4 yr checkup. Just taking the generic vitamin with iron brought his levels up nicely. He eats iron-fortified cereal, lentils, raisins, spinach- the borderline iron was a surprise.

We've been having the kids take Gummi-vites from Price Club (you might call it Costco - but I just can't ). They don't have any artificial sweetener.

Dd takes one Teen OneSource a day, I was just looking at it this morning as the bottle is getting low and wondering if it is a gimmick...I can't remember why I fell for the Teen vs. Women vitamin this last time??? More Calcium? More Iron? More tiny print to read? Oh, for the old simplicity of Gummi-vites!
