Women's Vitamins for Sensitive Stomachs

Vitamins provide nutritional insurance for all women, but vitamin supplements are especially important for women of childbearing age: the presence of adequate levels of certain vitamins at conception is crucial for proper fetal development. Unfortunately, many women, especially pregnant women who already have sensitive stomachs, find that vitamins cause stomach upset. The culprit is likely to be iron; supplemental iron can cause stomach upset, constipation, dark stools and heartburn. While taking vitamins with food or milk or taking them at a different time of day can help, sometimes a different vitamin is required.

The tablets are designed to dissolve in the stomach in 15 to 30 minutes for easy digestibility and less stomach upset.
