BariatricPal Vitamin Packs for Optimal Nutrition
This time of year, the focus tends to be on making sure the holidays are not too detrimental to weight loss plans. That is certainly an important goal, but it is just as important not to lose sight of nutrition. Getting the right vitamins and minerals is crucial for staying healthy and losing weight as fast as you can, but it can be tricky business. BariatricPal Vitamin Packs are designed to help you stay nourished easily.
Why Vitamin and Mineral Supplements?
Why do you need to take vitamin and mineral supplements if you are eating healthily? Can you not just get your nutrients from foods? Some people can, in theory, but there are three barriers to getting enough vitamins and minerals from food.
- Some are harder to get than others. For example, many people are deficient in iron and low in vitamin D.
- You may be eating less food since you are losing weight, which means you are getting fewer nutrients from your food.
- You may have malabsorption trouble due to bariatric surgical procedure such as gastric sleeve or mini or roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
BariatricPal Vitamin Packs deliver the vitamins and minerals that can make up for possible shortfalls in your diet or due to absorption troubles.
Nutrition to Meet Your Needs
BariatricPal Vitamin Packs have over 20 essential vitamins and minerals, They are formulated to meet or exceed ASMBS guidelines, and they come in the following options.
- Capsule with iron, chewable with iron, or iron-free
- 1 or 3-month supply
- Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, and Gastric Band packs
No matter which bariatric surgery you have, or if you have not gotten surgery, there is a BariatricPal Vitamin Pack for you. You do not even need to worry about swallowing capsules if you cannot or do not want to. Just choose a pack with Chewables.
What about Calcium?
It is usually recommended to take calcium separately from most other vitamins and minerals to enhance absorption, so BariatricPal Vitamin Packs have separate calcium chews. They come with vitamin D to increase absorption. There is no need to dread taking more bariatric supplements, though. BariatricPal Calcium Chews have a delicious, French Vanilla Caramel flavor, although they are sugar-free.
Easy to Use
Ask your doctor or bariatric surgeon before taking any supplements. BariatricPal Vitamin Packs are designed to be taken as a one-a-day multivitamin, plus 2 to 3 calcium chews daily at other times. Get plenty of protein and vegetables, and you should be on your way to staying nourished and losing weight!
