Bariatric Advantage Vitamin B1 (thiamine) easy-digest mini capsules deliver 100 milligrams of vitamin B1 as thiamine mononitrate. Vitamin B1 deficiency has been found in patients of all bariatric procedure types due to low dietary intake and short-term storage in the body. Patients with GI symptoms are at greater risk for vitamin B1 deficiency.
Vitamin B1 is not stored in the body for a long time, and requires frequent and continual intake, especially when dietary intake is low, and with those experiencing rapid weight loss, nausea, or vomiting.
Vitamin B1 is most important to the brain and cardiovascular system, but also plays important roles in converting food to energy, as well as muscle contraction and nerve health.*
