can anyone suggest a good multi-vitamin for someone with cirrosis and hep-c ?
some have iron and vit-e which i heard isnt good for the liver.

I use Essential Iron Free vitamins by Megafood which I buy online from Vitacost.com They are food based which appeals to me.
Its important to use an iron free vitamin no matter which one you choose.

BTW: I cut them in half with a pill splitter and only take half at a time.

Vitamin Shoppe - Ultimate Mens Formula. I take a half dose (1 pill) I think we overdo it with the vitamins, and I eat a healthy diet.

centrum silver  and all the commericial brands are garbage...chocked with fillers....there are better out there

[newleaf09]

I guess the centrum silver and it's clones must be the only non-iron multi out there, since we all found it.  If' it's a vitamin designed for older folks (Not that I ain't silver myself), why do you suppose healthy seniors should not take iron?

4th vote for Centrum Silver (or equivalent).

[Bill1954]

I take a generic equivalent to Centrum Silver; I get them from Sam’s club; they’re called ‘Mature Multi’ from ‘Member’s Mark’; no iron, and they cost about $U.S.12.00 per 400 count bottle. They do contain 50 IU vitamin E; I’m still alive, though :o). I'm late stage 3/early stage 4.

I have Hep C but not cirrhosis.  Centrum Silver is also what I use...has no iron.

I have cirrhosis and take Centrum Silver that has no iron with my Dr.s OK. The Vitamin E in the multi vitamin is minimal but I stopped my Vit. E supps prior to treatment.
