question about vitamins

I was wondering if anyone on here took any kinds of vitamins? My thirteen year old sister takes a flintstone vitamin everyday, do you think that I would get enough from a Flintstone vitamin since we already have them in the house, or do I need something a little more "adult"? I bought one-a-day vitamins a couple of months ago, but everytime I took them they would make my tummy hurt.

Make sure you take your multivitamin with food, especially if it has a significant amount of iron in it - that could be what's hurting your stomach.

I know they tell preg. women they can take flinstones if they can't handle the regular vitamins. Also make sure you are getting enough calcium. I really like the chocolate chews. I can't remember the brand. sharla

Kristin!

You need a vitamin designed for you...a woman! So go to your doctor and see what is best for you!

I can't take iron so I have to take a different one for iron...(even thou I don't right now) and I am shopping around for a good vitamin.
