Kosher for Pesach vitamins in Jerusalem?

Does anyone know of brands of vitamins that are kosher for Pesach that can be obtained in Jerusalem? I'm specifically looking for calcium and B-complex, but a multi-vitamin would be okay. My daughter would be shopping for them so it would be most helpful to know what store (what neighborhood) and what the packaging would say so she knows which vitamins are in the package? The kosher brands in the US don't seem to be kosher for Pesach.

p.s. It will be okay to go without the vitamins for a week, but just trying to cover the bases.

I doubt you will find any - maybe calcium (why not just eat cheese?) but I doubt any B-complex. Some of the B vitamins are chometz derived. I actually tried to find something to EAT with one of the B vitamins (maybe B6, but I can't remember) over Pesach when I was last pregnant, and in all the lists of foods high in that vitamin, everything was chometz, kitniot, or extremely buggy vegetables. Pre-natals are even more complicated - I think Vitamin E is also always chometz.

You can buy folic acid in Israel that is on the approved Pesach lists.
