Bariatric Advantage Chewable Advanced Multi EA – High Potency Multivitamin with Iron, Mixed Fruit, 60 Tablets

Key Ingredients and Enhanced Absorption

This advanced formula is designed to meet the specific nutritional needs of bariatric surgery patients. It delivers over 20 essential nutrients, each carefully selected for its role in post-surgery recovery. The standout feature is the uses of micelle technology, which improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K – a critical factor when digestion is compromised.

• Iron: contributes to normal red blood cell formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol): contributes to normal calcium absorption and bone health.
• Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin): contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and neurological function.
• Folate (as methylfolate): contributes to normal blood formation and cell division.
• Thiamin (Vitamin B1): contributes to normal energy metabolism and nerve function.
• Zinc: contributes to normal immune function and wound healing.
• Magnesium: contributes to normal muscle and nerve function.
• Biotin: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails.

Each nutrient is present in amounts tailored for bariatric patients, ensuring you get the support you need in a single daily serving of two chewable tablets.

How to Choose the Right Multivitamin

Selecting a bariatric Multivitamin involves several considerations:

• Form: Chewable tablets are often easier to tolerate, especially after surgery, and can be more effectively absorbed than some capsules.
• Nutrient Completeness: Look for a comprehensive formula that includes iron, vitamin D, B12, folate, and other key nutrients. This product provides over 20 nutrients in just two tablets daily.
• Dosage: Two tablets per day deliver equivalent or higher levels of vitamins and minerals compared to up to five standard retail products, making it a practicable option when food intake is limited.
• Flavour: The pleasant mixed fruit taste makes daily supplementation more enjoyable, encouraging you to stick with it.

Always consult your GP or registered dietitian to tailor your supplement regimen to your specific surgery type and blood test results.

Understanding Multivitamins

Multivitamins are daily supplements that help fill nutritional gaps, even when you eat a balanced diet. For bariatric surgery patients, the need is even greater because of reduced food intake, altered digestion, and malabsorption. The Bariatric Advantage Chewable Advanced Multi EA is specially designed for post-surgery patients, providing comprehensive nutrition in a convenient chewable form that is gentle on the stomach.
