This stuff is really gross....

At my drs office last week, they did blood work and found I was severly anemic and not getting enough nutrients so my metabolism started slowing down.

My dr put me on Advanced B-Complex vitamins that are a powder that you mix with water and drink ....kinda tastes like metamucil or tang just not as good lol

He also put me on Complete Greens powder EWWW weeee this stuff is horrendous and makes me sick to my stomach.

I would much rather take pill form any day over powder and drink it, but this is supposed to be better for you. I HAVE to take these, I don't want to waste $100 so I need to find a way.

Any suggestions on taking this or what to mix it with to make it more tolerable?

I have been anemic since I was 15...maybe your doctor can put you on a iron program only using pills (and supplmenting with natural iron loaded veggies? , perhaps? I would speak with them...if it is too gross you may not be consistent in taking(or rather drinking it)...maybe there is an alternative? Good luck!

I don't know much about this but your Doc sounds like he is into Herbs. Go to the health food store and see about this green stuff and compare contents.
They might have something that makes the stuff taste better.
I don't get why he is gives you powdered stuff.
How about B12 and Bcomplex vitamin shots? He could give you shots once a month.

I don't know what to add to greens. I know that wheat grass is a green drink. Never tasted it though.
Okay just thought of something. Call your Health food Store not a (chain like GNC) one like Mother Earth or a Big private owned one. I know Mother Earth is in Fla and has other stores but they are really good and know there stuff.
They might be able to tell you what to mix it with to make it palitable.
