Does Bariatric Advantage® have multivitamin supplements without iodine?

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.
