Helpful vitamin info

Thank you!

wow, this is really good thanks for sharing!!

Hi! I found a vitamin for your sheet if you want it! I'm kinda stoked about these! These are the iron free version - I haven't started them yet, but they look ever-so-promising - have you heard of them? (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XS5JCD7/ref=oh_aui_deta ilpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1):

1. They are inexpensive ($20/for 30)
2. You can get them on Amazon
3. You only need ONE a day!!

The bolded ones are the ASMBS Recommendations (thanks to you for that amazing spreadsheet!) - and these meet or exceed those recommendations except for Calcium - and I was going to do the chews for that anyway. There are TWO versions that have different dosages of iron!

ProCare Health Bariatric MultiVitamin IRON FREE
Name	1 multi
A	10,000 I.U.
B1 (Thiamin)	20 mg
B12	1,000 mcg
B2	12 mg
B6	12 mg
Biotin	600 mcg
C	130 mg
Calcium
Chromium	100 mcg
Copper	2 mg
D3	3,000 I.U.
E	60 I.U.
Folic acid	800 mcg
Iron
K	120mcg
Magnesium	100 mg
Manganese	2 mg
Niacin	40 mg
Pantothenic Acid	20 mg
Selenium	100 mg
Zinc	15 mg

I've never seen these before, but they look like they would be a good choice!

They do work out to be a bit more expensive than two multi's a day, though. I pay $5 each (BOGO free) for a bottle of 365 multivitamins at Walgreen's, and two pills will get you to about the same spot.

Thank you julie!

Important to note the type of surgery you've had.

I had the DS, and we do not absorb fat soluble vitamins easily. I know 10k IU of A is not nearly enough for me. I need 100K IU per day to keep in the normal range. Same with D (I take 100 to 150K IUs per day).

I absorb Bs normally- so I actually cut back on my b supplement.
