which low carb vitamin suppliment is best

Would anyone like to analyze the low carb vitamins out there. Centrum and
One- A Day have new low carb diet formulas. I was stocking back up on my
basic 3 Atkins supplements and decided to stick with them, but these others
aren't bad- just don't have L carotene in the formula.

After reading 2 labels, I decided it was too confusing since the dosages
were different for each one- a graph or something would be nice on the top
choices. also the recommended dosages

I've been taking just a generic multivitamin all this time - nothing
special. I did take the Atkins Basic 3 for a week or so when I first
started (family member got me an 'Atkins pack' that had them in it along
with the book), but I didn't like having to take pills with every meal, plus
try to remember the 'Dieters Advantage' ones an hour _before_ every meal. I
don't like taking pills as it is, so trying to choke supplements down six
times a day was definitely more than I wanted to deal with.

So I looked around my local pharmacy, found a multi that was once a day and
no iron (brand name is Sundown 50+, made by Rexall/Sundown - orange/tan
label on a dark brown bottle). The price was decent (seems like it's around
$20 for 90 pills), so I have been taking those ever since. No L-Carnitine
in them either, but as I understand it the main reason for taking that is to
help reduce cravings - which I never really had cravings past Induction
anyway, so I didn't miss it. Otherwise the multi I take seems to have lots
of good stuff, including a few minerals/extracts that most of the other
brand-name multis (at least the ones with no iron) didn't have.

I take that once a day, and a flax oil capsule once or twice a day
(depending on how often I remember), and that's it for supplements. I see
supplementation as something that is really for overall health, not weight
loss (i.e., something you'd do whether you're on any kind of weight-loss
plan or not). So I'd say that any supplement that meets your basic
nutritional needs would be fine, really.
