You should dissolve a portion of Whey in a smoothie or in 200 ml of water, milk or juice. In addition, you should dissolve Whey in cold drinks, as warm drinks enhance the risk of lump formation. Also, you can mix a portion of Whey with a meal of choice.

It’s recommended to take additional calcium citrate alongside Bariatric Advantage® Multi. An additional 1200 mg, and preferably 1500 mg of calcium (3 chewable tablets), per day is recommended for maintaining strong bones and teeth.

The amount of iron in Bariatric Advantage® Multi Capsules/Chewable Tablets is in accordance with international bariatric guidelines. Bariatric Advantage® Multi Chewable Tablets contain only 18 mg of iron and a daily intake of Bariatric Advantage® Multi Capsules contains 28 mg of iron. 

Bariatric Advantage® Multi Capsules/Chewable Tablets contain iodine, i.e. 150 µg of iodine per chewable tablet or per 2 capsules. Nutritionists generally recommend that healthy adults take 100-200 µg of iodine per day.

As you’ve undergone stomach surgery, you can’t digest as much food as before. As a result, iodine intake through food is significantly reduced.

People who suffer from hypothyroidism and are being treated with L-thyroxine can take this multivitamin as well. If in doubt, please consult your treating doctor. 

You may find it easier to take the capsules by opening a capsule and mixing its powder into a small portion of your meal.
