Dr Atkin's vitamin list?

[BajaJac]

Hello...
I am new to this forum and already see that it is full of wonderful information. However, I am trying to find some information on vitamins. I just finished reading "Atkins Diabetes revolution" and thanks to the book I am now able to control my blood sugar without medication. In the book, it mentioned a list of vitamins that could be found on the Atkins site that one should consider taking. I did a search within the Forum and was unable to come up with any list of vitamins recomended by Dr. Atkins, nor could I find a list of vitamins on the Atkins website.

Does anyone have any information regarding the recommended vitamins?

Thank you for any help you can provide...

Any multivitamin without iron is fine.

I do remember reading that he recommended certain doses for specific vitamins. That is why I wanted the list that they recommend in the book. I have notice that most mulitple vitamins do have the doses he specified. I might be a little "anal" on this topic, but I just want to follow through. Thanks...

I have been trying to find a multivitamin without iron. I live in Canada and my son has one brand called Sisu, but it if foul smelling and foul tasting and I cannot get it down. HELP!
I am almost 68 years young and have been taking a multivitamin for women over 50.

Thank you ahead of time!!

Your vitamins for women over 50 shouldn't have added iron in them. Did you check? Women over 50 and men's vitamins usually don't have iron.

I know what you mean about the vitamins. I have to take mine at bedtime and HOPE I fall asleep fast. The taste/after taste is NASTY. If I take them in the morning I have an upset stomach all day. Yuck.

hi blue... pls pls tell me why no iron why?? all the multivitamin products contain.. now am afraid can this cause troubles... if i take one with iron???????thx

Since Atkins diet contains a lot of red meat, you are already eating a lot of iron. If you take an iron supplement on top of that, you can get too much. If you can't find a vitamin supplement without iron, take the one with the smallest amount.

Vitamins for men and for women over 50 do not contain iron. Look for one for older women... you'll get everything you need, and no iron.
