Powdered Vitamins and Calcium
for the Bariatric Patient

 As bariatric patients, we know that nutrition is an important part of our weight loss success and vitamin supplementation is always required.  But there are hundreds of vitamin brands to choose from and it is hard to know which is the best.  Another major concern is the ease of taking the supplement.  How do we deal with all those big pills?
Many of us are currently taking children's chewable multi-vitamins because they are easy to swallow and easily pass through our small pouches. But who wants to take a supplement that is designed for the nutritional needs of children?  And what about calcium? How many of you have struggled with taking gigantic pills, chewing candy caramels, or using tablets that are designed to be an anti-acid?

I have been using a line of calcium and vitamin supplements that I totally enjoy.  They are the perfect solution for the nutritional needs of bariatric patients and anyone else who wants nutritional supplements that are easy to take. Because they are in powdered form, when you mix them with water, they are instantly in a form to be absorbed.  

Supplements in pill form must sit in your stomach for a long time until they dissolve enough to be absorbed.  With our altered anatomy, we do not have sufficient time for pills to break down completely in our new pouch, thus we have the potential for those vitamins and calcium to not be properly absorbed.  

Our supplement products deliver a high concentration of vitamin and mineral nutrients faster than any tablet on the market today! This concentration of liquid is called "isotonic."  Isotonic solutions offer the fastest and most efficient delivery of all oral forms of nutritional supplementation. This means a faster and more efficient absorption of product nutrients into the bloodstream.  When you consider that weight loss surgery normally restricts the digestion of food to some degree, you must take supplements that give the highest possibility of absorption.
 

Finally, we can get all the benefits of the vitamins and calcium that we pay for, instead of "Flushing" our money down the drain.

This line of powdered vitamin and mineral supplements is mixed with water to provide you with a good tasting, and easy to prepare drink that is easily absorbed by your new digestive system.  

 

Multivitamins    
How many of us sit down at home to three complete and balanced meals a day? Very few! Today's eating habits have been heavily influenced by fast-food restaurants, food fads, weight-loss diets and ever increasing use of unfortified convenience foods. Modern processing and preparation techniques often rob foods of vitamin content, as can growth, harvest, and storage conditions. We often come up short. It is up to us to make up the difference with supplements.
Calcium              
Currently, osteoporosis affects over one-third of postmenopausal women in this country. Recent clinical data suggest that aging men are also susceptible to this health condition. Most physicians now recommend that their female patients take supplemental calcium to bring their daily intake up to 1,500 mg.
