Vitamin supplements - upset stomach and nausea

7 Replies

Has anyone found that taking supplements has upset their stomach or caused nausea?I know I have an extremely sensitive stomach but I don't seem to be able to take any vitamin or mineral supplements for long without getting nauseous and feeling really yuck.

Hi Joesmum

Yes I do, except they upset my stomach. I am trying a process of elimination to see if I can find out which ones are causing the problem.

Di you take them in the middle of a meal? Which are you taking? I make sure everything I take apart from my Levo and T3 are taken during the course of a meal.

I have never been able to take vits or supps, no matter how or when I try. It's a major problem for me as I have severe Vit D deficiency.

I now take vitamin d spray because of same reason, so far it doesn't upset my stomach.

some of them do. My B vitamins make me feel sick, however, if you take them just after a big meal and wash down with a drink, it should help.

I used to feel awful when I took supplements. I discovered I had an inability to metabolise B12 in the form of cyanocobalamin and folic acid (a man-made chemical) I now take a brilliant supplement which conatinhs these nutrients (along with many others) in the form of methylcobalamin and Lmethylfolatre which are readily available for the body to use. If you would like to know the name of the supplement please pm me and I will get back to you. Barbaraj :)
