Does anyone recall the other multi-vitamin that is recommended by CHRIAS? 

CHRIAS sells Bariatric Advantage there is another one out there called Bariatric Fusion also but that can only be ordered from their website.

The newer one started with a F.
I actually have the vitamin paper from class right here as I was sharing it with someone at work....
The ones they talked about were:  Flintstones (still needed B12, Ca, Thiamin), Centrum Silver (still needed b12, Ca, Thiamin), Bariatric Advantage (still needed b12, Ca, Iron, Thiamin), and Optisource (still needed Iron, B12, Thiamin)

Hope this helps (the paper was from 2009)
