Comparing Bariatric Vitamins
Proper nutrition is vital after weight loss surgery and requires taking vitamin supplements. Flintstones vitamins just won’t do. Bariatric patients have unique requirements and must take bariatric vitamins designed to meet those needs.
Along with your nutritional needs, there are some best practices to consider when taking your vitamins.
- Drinking orange juice with your vitamin can help increase iron absorption.
- Take your vitamins at the same time everyday to increase remembrance and effectiveness.
Most doctors and dietitians agree that Calcium and Iron should not be taken at the same time due to issues with absorption when present together. For best results, consume at least two hours apart. This is why our once-daily vitamins do NOT have Calcium added. Not all vitamin companies marketing to bariatric patients adhere to the rule of keeping Calcium and Iron separate, so beware, and look at your labels closely. If you choose to use a vitamin that combines both supplements, be sure your Calcium and Iron levels are being monitored closely.
When searching online for bariatric multivitamins, you might see ads for Optisource, Celebrate, or Bariatric Advantage. However, the comparison below reveals why ProCare Health was proclaimed the “best bariatric vitamin” by customer C. Jensen. As the innovator of the once-daily multivitamin, we used data from real patients to tweak and adjust our vitamin to make sure we are the superior choice for weight loss surgery patients.

ProCare Health: Recognized as a Leader in Multivitamin Quality Control
ProCare Health quality control line has received praise from Consumer Labs, which stated,
“16 out of 35 (46%) of multivitamins selected by ConsumerLab.com for testing failed to get our approval….[ProCare Health] product was tested, and it passed testing: ProCare Health Bariatric Multivitamins (39 cent per day for 1 capsule). It provides significant amounts of a broad range of vitamins and minerals…”
Based on independent tests by ConsumerLab.com
Chewable Vitamins that are Easier on the Palate and Budget
Unlike other brands, we have minimized binders and fillers to pack the most nutrients into an easy-to-take size. This has resulted in the highest quality supplement and has reduced the chalky taste that many consumers complain about in other vitamins. Most chewable tablets are made up of 40-60% fillers, which is why they require a higher daily dose and result in a higher cost.
Choosing ProCare Health vitamins means a 40-60% savings on this essential element of your health!
“I was trying to take like 5 different supplements after my gastric sleeve. I wish I would have discovered these earlier.”
– Brandon S.
