Bariatric Advantage capsules



Recommended Posts

Hi All, just wondering if anyone is on the newer Ultra Multivitamin capsules from Bariatric Advantage. I am wondering what size they are. It says 3 capsules is the dosage, and they are supposed to be more potent. I am currently taking the "regular" multivitamin capsules, which they tote as smaller, non horsepills. I take 6 of those a day. I don't think I could handle a bigger pill to swallow, as I do have a slight stricture. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

I think that is the pill that I'm on, but I only have to take two per day. They are kind of big, but fortunately I don't have issues taking pills. I think if you contact Bariatric Advantage they will send you a sample. I take two of those and two calcium chews every day.

I have the Bariatric Advantage ultra with Iron. They are too big to swallow and yes you have to take 3. I empty all 3 of them and mix them into one of my Protein Drinks. There is a little bit of a twang but it's not too bad. You could probably split them up as long as you wait the 3 hours before/after Calcium. I still have to try and get the calcium pills in but I've been putting that off. I'm struggling with all of the pills I have to take and I admit sometimes I take a day off! I take other meds for an existing condition, so taking those plus the Prevacid and potassium to heal, plus stool softeners and vitamins.....ugh. AND, they want me to quarter all of my pills and wait 15 minutes between each piece. So basically I take something every 15 minutes from morning until I go to bed. I miss popping 2-3 pills at a time with a gulp of Water. This is actually the hardest thing for me, as I don't really have any other issues so far. I would crush everything but then each meal would be hideous. Wish there was a daily IV I could hook up to!
