Do You Take Your Vitamins?

I can remember taking Flintstones vitamins when I was a kid. Flintstones were great! I loved taking them simply because they tasted good. I would ask my mom if I could have two hah. Well, time goes on, I grew up and things changed.

Well, not everything. I recently started taking Flintstones vitamins again. Why? Because they taste good… oh and they are good for you also. Sure, I may not get the full recommended daily dose for an adult… but hey, its better than nothing, right?

I don’t take adult vitamins for a few reasons. First, I am very forgetful. Heck I forget to take my Prilosec half the time (I have terrible heartburn). I only remember the Prilosec when I start to “feel the burn” lol. Second, most adult vitamins are to be taken with food. The last thing on my mind when I am hungry is to go take my vitamine. Oh, and they have no taste.

Flintstones FTW!

    Oh Shawn..this is funny. I take adult vitamins but since I have a hard time swallowing pills I always have to chew them…so just today I was saying I should probably get the children’s versions and just take two. Ha ha.

  2. Lulu Said,

    Oopsie….Can you please edit the last comment I made to point to my correct new domain name. Thanks.

    Are those multivitamins or just Vitamin C?

  4. Lulu Said,

    Centrum multivitamins…and Vitamin C. I chew everything. I also take cod liver oil (because my mother made me when I was little and I never grew out of it.)

    I’m horrible about remembering to take vitamins, too. I attribute it the fact that I have no regular daily schedule. And the fact that I burp that funky vitamin taste for the rest of the day.

    I used to sneak a Flintstone’s when my siblings still had them. They’re good, but still have that vitamin taste on the way down. =P

  6. Crys Said,

    I take many vitamins every day. A multi-vitamin, some omega oils, extra vitamin C, garlic, etc.

  7. Bobs Said,

    I take:
    Men’s Once-A-Day
    Vitamin C
    Calcium
    Folic Acid
    Fiber

    So every night I usually swallow 5-6 pills. You have to double up on the Vitamin C if anybody close to you is sick, in order to help you not get anything. I only started taking vitamins a couple years ago. Really once you get used to it, its no problem and your body does need all this stuff.

    Lulu - I have edited your comment to include your new URL :)

    I’ve heard a lot about cod oil but eh, that just sounds nasty!

    Damn, Bobs is a walking vitamin! Just follow him around for a few minutes to get your daily dose hah

    Hey Man,
    No lie - it does make you feel better. Put all this junk in your system and give yourself a good health kick! It sucks trying to swallow all these pills, but like I said, you get used to it. I never cared about health for a long long time, but when you become a Dad - you want to stay around - you know ;)

    I used to work at a pharmacy, so I would interact with sick people all the time. I started a regimen of a multi-vit, B-complex, and selenium every morning to help my immune system. To my delight, I have not gotten sick enough to need antibiotics since. I used to take the omega-3 supplement, but couldn’t handle burping up that strong fishy taste the rest of the day.

  11. Tyler Ingram Said,

    I used to take those Flintstones multivitamins!

    Now I don’t seem to take any :( I guess I should huh?

  12. Lulu Said,

    Kattikawn, if you think burping the multivitamin taste is bad…try burping cod liver oil! That will really rock your world.
    I take the cod liver oil now in capsule form…but as a child I used to take the fluid. I actually did not mind it…in fact I enjoyed it weird as that may seem. There is a family story of how I drank an entire bottle when I was about 3 years old. Let’s not talk about what happened for the rest of the day.
    My mom is a nurse…so I am always taking supplements and stuff…cos ‘it’s good for you!’

  13. Leroy Brown Said,

    Shoot I barely remember to eat 2 or 3 meals a day…. no way could I ever remember to throw down a couple vitamins too.

    But I do fondly remember my brother’s friend, probably about 12 or 13 at the time, tossing back an entire bottle of Flintstone’s vitamins in one sitting. I don’t remember exactly, but he probably killed off 100 or more of the little guys. Ended up having to have his stomach pumped. Fun stuff.
