If you don't mind me asking....what vitamins and supplements contain fructose? I take vitamins and supplements myself but none of them have carbs listed or fructose. Soy is the one ingredient I do find and try to keep away from by finding alternatives that do not contain it.

I'm not much into supplements. Basically I do a multi and some extra C.

If you're into supplements, DANDR has quite a lot of information on various supplements. Maybe you could tweak your supplementation by swapping out the carbier ones for others with the same or similar formulas, but without the carbs?

If you continue to take the carby sups, make sure you count those carbs in your totals. Every carb counts.
