May be some people can get the rest from their food? :wink:

I know these are very cheap, and thanks for posting but, unlike most vitamins, they don't give 100% of any of the vitamins you need.

Of course, these will be helpful to some people but I just thought I'd point out, in a helpful way, that you won't get all of your vitamins from these tablets.

Oh, I totally agree. Thank you for pointing that out.

Indeed.

Most people can get their required vitamins from their food, unfortunately due to loosing a couple of feet of bowel and most of my stomach I can't absorb the necessary quantity from a healthy diet so require as per my doctor daily vitamin tablets,quarterly B12 injections,daily calcium supplements, Ferrous Fumarate (iron) tablets etc etc.

Always buy these for my teenage son when on 3 4 2 .heat added..

I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops. :smile:

Heat added.

After having a gastric sleeve and losing 10 stone, deals on daily multivitamins will always get heat from me! Thank you :smiley:

well done on the weight loss! x

Cheap but still a waste of money imho with tiny quantities of poorly absorbed nutrients! If you need supplements look for a decent brand with levels that might make a difference, such as Biocare.

None of those are even the right item.


What's this then? http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=275396098

there was a program on the telly a while back about cheap nasty so called vitamins that didnt even have what they were supposed to be in the bottle and recommending that people only buy ones with a certain lable i'd assume a certification of some sorts

I recall watching a video on youtube where vitamins of different brands were each separately placed in its own small glass of warm water (perhaps with something added to give it more of a stomach acid composition) and gently stirred every few minutes. In essence they were comparing how well they were dissolving and hence being absorbed. Some did really well, others hardly broke down at all. Not sure how well the results reflect anything useful, but you could always try something similar on your own vitamins and see how you go.

Youre wrong re the doctor and multivitamins.
The bariatric surgeon,GP,,dietician both pre and post op and the post op literature from the NHS ALL advise what to take and not take.All of the required supplements and meds are prescribed with the exception of the multivitamins which need to be bought according to the qualified persons above as they cannot be prescribed.
Please state your medical status/qualifications as it seems they surpass not only the dieticians but also the GPs and bariatric surgeon involved with me and my treatment over the last 18 months or so.
FFS go and troll and hijack someone elses thread!

You are wrong.
My GPs ,bariatric dieticians, and the bariatric surgeons seen both pre and post op have all said I would need to buy multivitamins as they cannot be precscribed.
Whilst not specifically telling me where to buy multivitamins from Tesco by far are the best deal out there hence the post.
You seem to be falling foul of your lack of medical qualifications or should I listen to someone with no medical or scientific qualifications lile you and risk my health?
Stick to voting on whether the deal is a goodone or not.If not reply with a better deal.
The site isnt to go to the far ends on whether products work or not or reasons why products do or dont work its for HOT UK DEALS which this is one of from my looking for better deals (and so far no better deal for buying multivitamins has been posted)
Now you dont need to have medical or scientific qualifications to understand that as you dont so maybe that will get through to you.
Go troll another site

Again assumption! You don't have any medical background so I'll educate you. I'm definitely not trolling and I've been involved in the supplement industry and have a degree in Nutritional therapy. I stand by everything I say. I'm really going to kick this off now the NHS is full of morons and mismanagement to put it bluntly. I've seen it first hand the absolutely moronic and appalling treatment of a friend of mine. The fact that they've told you to buy multi vitamins is the placebo effect.

When Doctors prescribe pharmaceutical drugs they're tested very very rigorously, have you noticed for example that some drugs let's say Sertraline are actually Sertraline Hcl, this indicates the chemical preparation where the bioavailability is known.

So a Doctors or Doctors have told you they can't prescribe multi vitamins, immediate RED FLAG, why do you think that is? They've also told you to buy multi vitamins which possibly contain minerals, check out for example if they contain Magnesium, you'll find they're Magnesium Oxide, which is cheap and the bioavailability is awful.

I'm in no way endangering your health, your Doctors have told you they can't prescribe multi vitamins, that should alarm you, they don't know which multi vitamin formulation you will buy, they don't know the quality control and bioavailability. Seriously why aren't you questioning this! Go show this to a Doctor seriously. Can't you see the absurdity of it?

Now lets give you an example about what we really know about the human body and it's total complexity in the terms of prescribed anti depressants. Bare with me you'll see where I'm going with this. Serotonin is implicated in depression, it's known as the Serotonin model of depression. So modern anti depressants are mostly specific to increasing Serotonin efficacy, there is a novel drug Tianeptine which is also an anti depressant, it works by dreasing Serotonin efficacy! But wait we know Serotonin is implicated in depression and if you increase it's effectiveness then it helps with depression so how does doing the reverse work, well they only found out a year or so ago that it affects the Mu Opioid receptors, so the simplicity of prescribing a drug that modulates Serotonin to help with depression is severely flawed. Doctors will easily prescribe you anti depressants whereby other methods such as talking therapy as researched as just as effective.

What I'm illustrating above is that you see the word Doctor, this automatically puts you in to assumption mode. They have experience, there are many many excellent Doctors and ones that believe in alternative therapies as well. I can tell you as I've stated above the reason you've been told to take multi vitamins is logically flawed based on the factors I've outlined.

So there we go assumption is annoying isn't it, it stops us from questioning, it gives us a false belief of reality, it's also part of placebo, it also made you assume that have no idea what I'm talking about. I believe strongly in science, I have limited belief in alternative therapy and I believe in the scientific community which includes Doctors. I also believe in questioning what is the likely truth.

I call out multi vitamins for what they are bulls^&t and therefore this deal is part of that BS.

Why are you talking and padding out reasons against a product against the DEAL when the site is about deals not reasons for or against a particular product?
Thia is Hot UK Deals not Hot or Cold reasons to buy or not to buy a product.Its a shame you dont get this.
I dont need any medical knowledge,thats why I listen to and follow what I'm told by the medically trained teams , qualified and learned surgeons,specialist dieticians and GPs who all say the same negating any reason for me to query their professional advice contrary to your unqualified advice again which has nothing to do with THE DEAL posted.Period.
Quarterly blood tests are proving that the vitamins I take on medical advice are keeping my levels within tolerances and without taking the supplements my body wouldnt be able to absorb due to not enough bowel to to this.
Stick to whether its a hot or cold deal based on the price , period, and go offer your unqualified "expertise" to another forum where people are bothered about reasons behind them rather than simply the costs.

This "offer" started nearly 2 years ago and ends on 31st December 2020! :man:
