My son can't take anything uncoated without getting a gag reflex five minutes later. He's fine with the coated capsules. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

I take one tablet a day, shortly after (or during) eating, like it says to do, but I usually end up throwing up. :( I’ve even tried taking only half. I still feel sick about 10 min or so after taking it. Should I try something else? If so, what? Thanks for any help in advance. ~ Erin -------------- Friends call me Irish...
	2005/11/05, 04:08 PM Anything is possible. The main thing that makes me sick is One a Day marketing a vitamin claiming it's smart enough to cause weight loss... now that's sickening. -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie

Though the only ones in it with any punch( and it is a small amount) is Vit. E and Selenium. I would suggest taking it after you eat on a full stomach and see if it helps. I am not sure why this would do that to you for any other reason, the only "weight smart" involved in it is it contains ECGC and Chromium. Neither of these should do this. ECGC is simply the factor in green tea that is touted to contain all the benefits of green tea. This dose is not excessive in any way. Chromium by the way for your interest is reputed to help insulin do its job. This keeps blood sugars more steady. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I was eating about 4 times a day and for about a month, I just didn't feel hungry enough to eat that often. Now I've gotten used to taking it regularly and I'm back up to 4-5 meals a day.

It kept getting worse and worse and now when I take it I just throw up. Empty or full stomach. Now I take Centrum Silver and can take those on an empty stomach.
