Over and over again I see people singing the praises of their doctor who told them all they need is 2 Children’s Flintstone’s chewables a day.

On the other side of the debate you see people saying it’s pretty much common sense that a vitamin for children can’t possibly be adequate for a full-grown adult, let alone alone an adult with rearranged intestines.

So what exactly is wrong with Flintstone’s chewables?

For starters, they do not have:

• Zinc
• Selenium
• Copper
• Magnesium
• Vitamin K

These are all essential vitamins that your body needs. No one wants to say negative things about anyone’s doctor, especially when they are not a doctor themselves. But can you see why some people think your doctor might be misinformed if they are suggesting Flintstone’s chewable vitamins as your vitamin supplements?
