miangr 11 Posted June 14, 2013 Hi, Okay I know you need you Multivitamin and b-12, but is the thiamin, Iron, and folic acid included in the multivitamin? Also, will I be needing Calcium and other supplements? My NUT is closed and I wanna go shopping tomorrow before my surgery nx week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jandseakin 96 Posted June 14, 2013 My nut prescribed the following: chewable or liquid multivitamin with at least 100% daily value of thiamin (Vitamin B1) Chewable calcium citrate 500-600 mg 2 - 3 times daily. B12 sublingual (1000mcg) Hope this helps. 1 MrsPierre reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The viactiv chews are good. If you get the complete multivitamin it will have thiamin Iron and some folic acid in it. Extra Iron is needed only if you have periods or if history of anemia. 1 MrsPierre reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoiaRox 430 Posted June 14, 2013 My regimen includes a multivitamin and calcium citrate - that's it! I bought opurity online after clearing that brand with my NUT. The only caution is to take the Calcium citrate at least an hour away from the multivitamin (no matter what brand you go with) because the Iron in the multi negates the absorption of the calcium citrate. 1 SuNMooNStaRS816 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted June 14, 2013 Citracal brand is calcium citrate with Vitamin d. Just a different brand. I buy the store brand from Walmart, CVS or Walgreens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sixbuttons 102 Posted June 14, 2013 I'm going to get the fusion Vitamins. My NUT said it has everything in it and it will be the only thing I'll have to take. It's only gonna cost me around $25 a month too - which will be a lot cheaper than buying everything separately. 1 Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted June 15, 2013 my NUT said i shouldnt have to take Calcium. has anyone else been told this? Every female should take Calcium. And if you are on a PPI (acid reducer) you definitely should be on calcium because it reduces calcium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
