How big are the capsules?
We use Size 00 capsules, which are 0.91 inches long by 0.33 inches wide (23 x 8 millimeters). Most people find that they go down easily with a big gulp of water. However, if you have trouble swallowing, you can easily open the capsule and sprinkle the powder onto your food or drink. Mixing the powder with a thick liquid such as yogurt, applesauce, or a smoothie works best.
Is this supplement safe for long-term use?
Yes. When used as instructed and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, this supplement is entirely safe for both short-term and long-term use.
What is the best time to take my multivitamin?
We recommend that you take your multivitamin with your breakfast or lunch. Generally, supplements are better absorbed when taken earlier in the day, rather than in the evenings or before going to bed.
Should I always take these multivitamins with a meal?
It is best to take your multivitamins with a meal for two reasons. First, certain vitamins are fat-soluble and need fat from your diet in order to be fully absorbed. Second, if you have a sensitive stomach, certain minerals may cause irritation. By diluting these minerals with food, you are less likely to experience any side effects.
How many carbs are in this whole food multivitamin?
While our Bariatric Multivitamin is made with real fruits and vegetables, it contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates per serving, making it perfectly acceptable for a low-carb diet.
What is the iron content in this Bariatric Multivitamin?
Our Bariatric multivitamin contains 36 mg of iron as ferrous fumarate per serving. Ferrous fumarate is the preferred form of iron for bariatric patients because it has better bioavailability (more elemental iron content) than other common iron salts, and it's gentler on the stomach.
Are these vitamins easily absorbed by someone with a shortened intestine, post-gastric bypass surgery?
Our vitamins are delivered in capsules, which are easier to digest than tablets. You can also open the capsules and mix the vitamin powder with your food or drink to make digestion even easier. However, it's always a good idea to make sure your supplements are approved by your physician, who knows your personal history and the medications you are taking.
Has this supplement been lab-tested for contaminants?
Yes, all of our supplements are tested by independent, third-party labs to make sure they are clean and safe before they go to market.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee in case this supplement doesn’t work for me?
Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all our supplements. If you are not fully satisfied with this product for any reason, you can return it for a full refund.
