I’m vegetarian (I eat cheese but not eggs or dairy) and I take a centrum multivitamin every day, plus recently started taking omega 3 fish oil capsules (I know these aren’t vegetarian friendly but thought they were the lesser of two evils instead of eating fish!)

I take nothing but I really should, I just have a huge phobia of tablets, always worry they will get stuck in my throat plus can't handle the taste 
I do as well - a tablet got stuck in my throat when I was younger and since then cant take anything too big.I take nothing but I really should, I just have a huge phobia of tablets, always worry they will get stuck in my throat plus can't handle the taste
Vitabiotics Vitamin D are tiny as are their vitamin B (which I just ordered because of this thread lol)
I have a multivitamin that's a gummy - they do adult versions of these now - im not sure how good they are really and they do have sugar in but they are an option
Also Better You sell sprays - they are on Amazon, Holland and Barrett - they do a vitamin D spray, multivitamin, vegan vitamin and a few others I think - all quite good!
I've just ordered the Floradix Tonic recommended on this thread too which is a liquid and looks quite good for vitamins plus iron
Ah thank you so much. I will definitely look into these after work as I really should start taking some especially for my iron levelsI do as well - a tablet got stuck in my throat when I was younger and since then cant take anything too big.

I think that is what happened to me too when I was in my teens and I have struggled since. I couldn't even stay on the pill because i would get serious anxiety about taking it everyday. The thought alone makes me want to be sick.. so weird.
I honestly completely get it. And you feel so stupid saying you're not good at taking pills but I think it's more common than you think!Ah thank you so much. I will definitely look into these after work as I really should start taking some especially for my iron levels

Vitabiotics are about the size of what the pill used to be for me - I think there might be a pic on their amazon listing so if you struggle with that at all then I would just get the sprays better you do as they work really well tbh.
Im fine with the little pills now but anything too big and I can't do it - which seems stupid as I can shove a load of food in no problem at all
You can get liquid iron if tablets are an issueAh thank you so much. I will definitely look into these after work as I really should start taking some especially for my iron levels

Check out Spa Tone and Floradix. Spa tone is expensive but doesn’t taste of anything, floradix doesn’t taste that great so I used to immediately follow with orange juice!
I take a multivitamin and vitamin C.
I need to find a chewable version (can’t swallow tablets) of b12 and iron though. Can anyone suggest anywhere that sells those?

I don't really understand how this is the lesser of two evils? You're still consuming product made from a fish without any of the benefits of actually eating the fish? (Other than the Omega 3 obviously)
i recently bought chewable b12 from aldi, so have a look in there!
i only take vitamin d and b12 atm as I am transitioning to become fully vegan soon. When I am, I'm just going to take the Holland and Barret vegan multiviatmins as I would struggle with taking tons of tablets.

Edit to add, I had a severe vitamin D deficiency, a hospital Dr recommended I take these supplements. My vitamin D level started off at 6 and a year after taking these it came up to 232.

Oh and wholistic Ashwangandha, great for anxiety
Surely your GP gave you a prescription and did they actually bother to find out why your vitamin D tanked that badly. Ideally 70-80 is fine for Vitamin D, 232 sounds very high.
They did but it was low dose, if I remember rightly it was called Adcal? Yes I had recently been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease so was due to that.
I did a lot of research into vitamin deficiencies at the time, people who suffer with certain chronic conditions require higher levels of vitamin D to prevent cardiovascular disease. My hospital consultant was pleased with my results.
I couldn’t take tablets for yeaaaars. Would literally make me vomit. I also had one stick in my throat and panicked.I honestly completely get it. And you feel so stupid saying you're not good at taking pills but I think it's more common than you think!

Then once I had a really bad infection and there was no liquid alternative. I took it once, and after I could do it every time
. The brain does play tricks on youI was told a few months ago i was also low in Bit D. Been taking 20,000IU Vit for 3 months at 2 a week. Can I ask did you feel any difference at the end? I haven't noticed any improvements but not sure whether I should or not
B12 every 3 months prescription
Vit D once a week , I don't know if I should be taking more 32,00 ui or something
And when I remember a multivitamin, which isn't often I must admit I should be taking daily

Vitamin D daily and a probiotic. Im going to start taking agnus castus as well.
I have a huge issue with swallowing tablets tooI (I feel like this would be a great opportunity to make fun of my gag reflex lol). I'm on antidepressants right now, and I've resorted to taking my pills with a petit filous yoghurtI take nothing but I really should, I just have a huge phobia of tablets, always worry they will get stuck in my throat plus can't handle the taste
it's been working so far, so I'm going to try this method with some wellwoman multivitamins I picked up in boots today.Vit D3 because of covid. Made me really thirsty for weeks when I first started. Hopefully it's doing some good.
