Are Low -carb vitamins really low carb?

Reading the pharmacist letter, I came across this quote and realized how true it is… Last week I was trying to counsel a patient on the difference between Celexa and Lexapro and was having a hard time explaining that lexapro is celexa in a purer form. ( the same with albuterol and levalbuterol)

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
- Albert Einstein

Moving on… I came across some information about low carb diet multivitamins that are appearing everywhere…. I really have not paid too much attention to them until I got a question about them…. there are many of these vitamins that are popping up, even Centrum is getting in with the game…. These vitamins are not low in carbs, just like regular vitamins… they just have great marketers behind the scenes. They do tend to have more B vitamins and antioxidants. Thus if you are a person that is considering the low carb diet, you do not have to spend the money and get the low carb vitamins, a regular every day vitamin is good enough– like Centrum. Also, for all of the low carb dieters– vitamins do not replace the necessary supplements that vegetables, fruits, and grains and dairy products provide for the body– keep the diet a healthy diet that is well balanced.
