I've been using Daily Total One (Iron free) by Country Life ($7.33 for 60 veg caps at Vitacost), ingredients follow:
Quote:
A Complete and Balanced Iron Free Dietary Supplement. - A basic one a day multi-vitamin and mineral formula designed to support general health and well-being.
- Designed to accentuate quality and balanced ingredients rather than "mega-doses" of nutrients.
- Iron-free formula which is most appropriate for the majority of the population.
- Ingredients selected for bioavailability, as well as hypoallergenic properties.
- This formulation is vegetarian compliant and is manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and contains no iodine.
- Available in convenient, easy to swallow vegetarian capsules.
- Bioperine� is a patented black pepper extract that has been clinically proven to improve nutrient uptake.
- Plant enzymes support nutrient digestion and assimilation, sparing the body's valuable supply of enzymes and saving energy in the digestive process. Plant enzymes have been shown to work synergistically with Bioperine� extract.
- Phytase enzymes break down the "anti-nutrient" compound phytate found in whole grains that can inhibit nutrient uptake through potential nutrient binding.

I believe that chelated forms of minerals include citrate, asparate, ascorbate, etc., they are preferred. Carbonate, such as calcium carbonate is poorly absorbed.
