I too need to add Vitamin C and Iron, one thing I was not told to take, but I will add it see if it gets rid of some of my dizzy spells.

Yes, chiquita. The amounts are per day. For most multi vitamins you will need to take 2 pills daily to get the right amounts. On the bariatric vitamins that I take the label gives me the amounts for a daily dose, which is two tabs. One in the morning and one at night.
With the iron make sure you aren't taking it with dairy products or with your calcium. Also you will want to check your multi-vitamin. If it has calcium citrate in with it you can't take your iron with your multi-vitamin either.
