For anyone who may be interested I have 4 different powerpoint presentations I can email you.

1) How to read vitamin labels

2) Evaluating Nutritional supplements

3) Assesing Labs

4) Protein Supplements

These are a bit heavy on the medical language but if you are interested in any of them feel free to message me. I'll email them off to you. A couple of these were presentations at the last National Bariatric Conference in Washington DC

Well I received my samples and my own order yesterday. I sampled the different kinds and though they are certainly chewable vitamins, they aren't bad. They seemed a bit grittier than the Building Blocks I had before but they didn't leave a bad after taste at all. And I've only had the Building Blocks chewable multi-vitamin, so its the only one I could compare to.

In regards to the Calcium I liked the Cocoa one better than the strawberry ones.

Considering they are cheaper and more complete I'm going to stick with them. I can see myself being able to take them the rest of my life. Also if I get to the point that I just can't do the chewables I can go to their capsule form. I have no problem with swallowing pills but feel the absorption may be a bit better with the chewable ones.

Thought I would bump this thread up. I've been seeing several recent questions about vitamins.
