I know I need this, but can't tolerate the foods that contain it. And the vitamin supplements all have some type of synthetic sugars e.g. sorbitol/mannitol, etc.

Anyone found a way to get this with the above limitations?

Thanks............carole

There are a lot of vitamin brands out that don't have synthetic sugars.

In fact I have NEVER seen a vitamin piill with any of these sugar alcohols. Are you talking about chewable "kiddie vitamins" that are made to taste sweet to appeal to children?

Other than that, what possible reason could they have to sweeten something that is swallowed whole?
