BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE - Daily Bariatric Multivitamin with 18 mg Iron, 90 Capsules

What's Inside BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE?

This Multivitamin delivers 22 essential vitamins and minerals at 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV), with a focus on nutrients commonly depleted after bariatric surgery. The formula includes:

• 18 mg of Iron: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal formation of red blood cells, helping to prevent iron-deficiency anaemia after surgery.
• Vitamin B12: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal function of the nervous system.
• Vitamin D: Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to the normal function of the immune system.
• Folic Acid: Contributes to normal blood formation and homocysteine metabolism.
• Biotin: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the maintenance of normal hair, skin and mucous membranes.

This complete profile meets the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS) recommendations for post-surgical nutrition, ensuring you get the nutrients you need.

Supporting Your Recovery After Weight Loss Surgery

After weight loss surgery, your body requires extra nutritional support to heal and function optimally. BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE provides targeted nutrients that contribute to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism and energy production.
• Maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
• Normal wound healing (vitamin C is not included, but other nutrients support the process).
• Normal function of the immune system.
• Maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails.

Each capsule is designed to dissolve quickly and is easy to swallow, even for those with a reduced stomach capacity. The formula excludes calcium to avoid interfering with iron absorption, a key consideration for bariatric patients.

Understanding Bariatric Multivitamins: Who Should Take Them?

A bariatric Multivitamin is specifically formulated for individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery, such as gastric sleeve or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY). These surgeries alter the digestive system, which can affect nutrient absorption. Bariatric patients often require higher doses of certain vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiencies and support overall health. BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE is designed to meet these enhanced needs in one convenient capsule per day.

Selecting a Quality Bariatric Multivitamin

When choosing a bariatric Multivitamin, consider factors such as ingredient quality, absorption, and form. Look for:

• Guideline Compliance: Ensures the formula meets professional recommendations, such as those from BOMSS or ASMBS.
• Iron Content: At least 18 mg of iron is often recommended for premenopausal women and bariatric patients.
• Bio-available Forms: Forms like methylcobalamin (B12) and methylfolate may be better absorbed, but not all products specify them.
• Allergen-Free: BariatricPal ONE is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soya-free, making it suitable for those with sensitivities.
• Manufacturing Standards: Produced in a cGMP-certified facility in the USA.

Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement, especially after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take this Multivitamin on an empty stomach?

It is generally recommended to take multivitamins with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset. However, BariatricPal ONE is designed to be gentle and may be taken with or without food. Follow your surgeon's advice.

Why does this Multivitamin not contain calcium?

Calcium can interfere with iron absorption. Since iron is a critical nutrient for bariatric patients, this formula omits calcium to ensure maximum iron uptake. You may need a separate calcium supplement.

How long does one bottle last?

Each bottle contains 90 capsules, which is a three-month supply when taken as directed (one capsule daily).
