Centrum vitamins
I found centrum complete chewable a today at target. They had 100% rda of all the main vitamins and minerals. The servicing was only one tablet. So I would just need two a day? And space them out? Thanks in advance. Surgery in six days so I'm trying to get everything in place. I also found the sublingual b12 there as well.
I didn't get the rest of my supplements because I didn't plan on going to target and so I didn't have my surgery packet with me.

I was instructed to space the two vitamins out...one in the a.m. and one in the late afternoon. I like NatureMade sublingual B12's because they dissolve quickly under the tongue. I carry in my purse a wallet-sized supplement list to refer to when standing in a store reading the back of bottles. Six more days til the beginning of a whole new chapter...

Bariatric Fusion is 4 chewables a day and include the recommended dose of Calcium citrate. No more buying several bottles and all that spacing. The people who created and developed them are on the ASMBS advisory board.

I guess I'm still confused just because my surgeon says 200% rda. Four chews of that only gets me to 100%. Thats why I assumed I have to take 8 a day. Or at least 6 because it's only like 33% rda per dose. That's what the back of the label online said. Maybe I'm missing something. I'd love to not have to take tons of different doses of things. So you only take iron separately since the calcium citrate is in your multi?

You are correct, you would need eight a day.

You have to look the particular numbers. Not everything do you need 200% or the RDA of a 2000 calorie a day diet. You are looking at the Vitamins a c d thiamine, folic acid, calcium and iron..it's simple to say take 200% but it's overkill on some things. These are based on the needs of the bariatric patient. 4 chewables a day will provide you with what you need. These meet the standard guidelines put out by the ASMBS.

Be careful taking vitamin and suppliment information from so called experts who hide behind blocks and then give bad information. Kelly is a good copy and paster but she isn't medically trained in anything. She likes to make false claims concerning any post that has anything to do with Bariatric Fusion. You need 4 a day.
