Hi,

Firstly I hope this is OK to ask as its for my fiance. He has a eating disorder and has a VERY small of range of food he eats. All rubbish. He does however take a shake in the morning with some vitamins in it. I am looking for a multi vitamin that comes in powder/beads form. Any recommendations please?

If post not allowed, thats ok please delete.

Thank you in advance xx

Hi,

You are correct I know. However he always making excuses to deal with it. He saw a pychologist for two years when he was 11. All he eats is pizza and chicken literally!

Thank you though.

If his diet is so restricted then I expect he has some very low nutrient levels or even deficiencies. Multivitamins contain too little of anything to help, very often the cheapest and wrong form of active ingredients, and tend to contain things we should test for first before supplementing, eg iodine, calcium, iron, Vit D.

He needs to test the core nutrients as a start - Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin.
