Supplemental Facts & Ingredients
See individual product information for details on Supplement Facts & Ingredients
How to Take
2 Servings or 2 Single Serve Packs or as directed
Formulation
- Water-Miscible Vitamins A, D and E (WM): We utilize dry, water-miscible forms of vitamins A, D and E to further enhance absorption. This means that these nutrients do not need to be taken with fat to optimize absorption, unlike many fat-soluble vitamins included in other brands.
- Chelated Minerals: Mineral-Chelation means "attaching to." By chelating our minerals to an amino acid (the building block of protein), we have increased the likelihood that these minerals will be absorbed in a low-acidic environment.
Product Information
- This product is as close as a bariatric patient can get to an “all in one” supplement without causing absorption interference. Iron is not included in this product and will have to be added separately if recommended by a physician.
- Calcium dosage is listed as elemental level.
- Our formula utilizes a 50/50 blend of methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin to optimize absorption and prevent deficiencies.
- By blending pre-formed (retinyl palmitate) and beta-carotene to make up our vitamin A, we are providing the safest and most effective approach available for this key vitamin. This blend allows your body to regulate its intake of vitamin A, absorbing only what it needs to function properly and excrete the rest.
- One serving (2 scoops) = one chewable multivitamin + 600 mg calcium + 25 g whey protein isolate
- This product is most used by early post-op patients as it may eliminate nausea, athletes, and anyone looking for a convenient alternative to chewables or pills.
- It is important to look for a product manufactured in a GMP Certified facility. A GMP Certified facility is one that has proven to have good manufacturing practices. This is a pharmaceutical certification that ensures products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
- No artificial colors.
- Manufactured in a peanut free facility.
Safety & Warnings
- Very low calorie diets (below 400 Calories per day) may cause serious illness or death. Do Not use for Weight Reduction in such diets without medical supervision. Not for use by infants, children, or pregnant or nursing women.
- Patients should follow the instructions of their bariatric surgeon regarding proper supplementation. Proper supplementation should be viewed as an individualized regimen based on each patient’s individual medical history, laboratory studies, and current medication use.
