  • Quality absorbable form of nutrients should be used after bariatric surgery due to the absorption challenges of bariatric patients
  • Gastric Bypass (RYGB/RNY) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG/SG) patients are recommended to take dietary supplements as chewable or liquid in the first 1-3 months after surgery.  Gastric Band (AGB) patients should always use chewable or liquid dietary supplements.

Good flavor

I was worried about the flavor of the vitamins before getting them but they taste really good! They’re not chalky, decent fruit flavor and they’re not hard to chew. Great vitamins!
