Vitamins and supplements



Recommended Posts

For years I took the generic brand from Sam's Club and never really notice a difference in my energy levels on the days I forgot to take them.


Recently, I tried a brand of Multivitamin that has whole food concentrates added. I'm not saying I have amazing energy levels because of it, but I do feel a bit of a boost on the days I do take them. I've tried 2 brands that have the whole food concentrate, and both seem to provide a nice energy boost for the day. The only down side is having to take 3 tablets a day.

No tougher than any other Multi-Vitamin tablet. Just have to take 3 of them either 1 tablet 3 times a day or all 3 at once.

Thanks! Are they hard to swallow?

I'm surprised your surgeon didn't put you on calcium citrate + D3 post-op. That seems to be pretty common practice for bariatric patients. I would definitely add D3, especially because it's winter. As for Iron, pretty much any Multivitamin should at least get you your daily recommended dose. Have you had bloodwork done recently?

I was never told to take the calcium citrate + d3. I haven't had bloodwork done lately either. I have an appointment with my PCP next week. I'll ask her to give me a script for the bloodwork

Sounds like perfect timing! Hopefully the results can help you figure out what you might be missing.
