Vitamins

[PudgeBeGone 99]

So I’ve been taking one Multivitamin every morning and calcium citrate twice throughout the day. Somewhere in the binder they gave it it says you’re supposed to take Multivitamins three times a day.. but the multivitamins I have meet the requirements of the list they gave me for the “total amount of mg,mcg, or IUs needed of each type of vitamin) do I still take it three times a day even though it meets the requirements with only one pill or do I just keep taking one every morning(I cut all my pills in half instead of taking them whole). I asked them during my last visit (yesterday) but she just kinda brushed it off and said do what they told you to do. Which doesn’t really help me.. considering it has the total amount of Vitamins you need everyday and then a separate page saying you need to take three multivitamins a day. I feel super stupid for asking this question because I should know. But my binder is telling me to do two separate things.

I don't know the answer, but I take a bariatric Vitamin twice a day and calcium citrate twice a day, and one B12.

It’s not a stupid question at all and I’m rather shocked your question at the drs office was brushed off. My initial plan told me I’d have to take them twice a days as well but I’m using one specifically formulated for bariatric patients so I only have to take one. As long as one meets the requirements you’ll be fine 😎
