Sucrose,

BIG NO NO. Look for a vitamin WITHOUT starch or sugar.

right.. i forgot the ose means sugar thing.. do you have any suggestions

Also, look for one without Iron. The Book is not really clear on the reason behind this, but my assumption is that we are getting enough iron from the meat we consume without needed suplementation. I take Nature's Way, Daily Two Multi, Iron Free Formula. It has modified starch, but no sugar. I didn't find a brand without starch in the health food section.

Walmart -- Sentury Vite brand for those over 50. That's the one I take. No Iron and essentially the same as Centrum only alot cheaper.
