what is a good one a day vitamin with minerals

[quan_daniel]

All,

Currently my child's one a day vitamin has lead in it, calcium phosphorous.

 

I am looking to replace it.

 

What about country life?

Daniel,

 

Have you ever looked at Juice Plus, as a multi vit? I think someone here, not long ago, posted that they use it. I thought that looked like a really interesting, all natural vitamin, but I couldn't find the ingredients and % of values on their web site.

 

It's so hard to comment on a good multi in general.

 

An example, for my youngest son, I wouldn't want more than about 1 mg. of copper, right now,

then you have to decide if you want iron or not. We also need more B's than what most multi's provide.

 

I hope people keep posting these links though, for others to consider. It would be nice to have a thread, with everyones links and opinions, in one place.

 

I'm looking to switch to a multi, and add zinc, mag and calcium, Vit C, and few other's individually too.

 

By using a lesser amount of Bonnie's vits, my boys are not getting even the RDA of some things, like vit A, which I think is really important.

 

As you pointed out, the amount of supplements that need to be taken, is a problem, but we just have to deal with it around here. With two boys, with different needs, I'm constantly putting out something, for someone to take.

 

BTW, I recently switched internet providers. My email has changed, so I didn't get yours! Sorry.

 

I will send you something, so you will have my new address.

I agree with Kim that it is hard to recommend a multi because different people have different requirements and may also be getting individual supps that the Multi contains etc etc

 

take a look at the variety of multi's on http://www.metagenics.com as well, although the one by Country Life that you posted looks ok

 

also, the Vitamin Shoppe have a good selection of multi's including liquid ones that have calcium and magnesium in the lactate form http://www.vitaminshoppe.com

 

iHerb also has a very broad selection of multi's that suit a variety of needs http://www.iherb.com
