Cheat sheet: vitamin recommendations

While sharing some information with a poster yesterday, I realized my go-to vitamin cheet sheet is over 10 years old! So I decided to look up the newest expert recommendations from the ASMBS and share them in an easy-to-read format.

The newest guidelines I could find came from 2016. You can read the full article here.

Here are the guidelines, laid next to a fairly standard multivitamin from the drugstore:

Excel format can be found here.

As you can see, the regular (not bariatric) multi does OK on the basics, but you'll want to add in separate calcium, iron, and B12 supplements to hit your targets.

Hope this is helpful!

Thanks Julie, it IS helpful. I'm at the point where I'm reviewing my vitamin dosage and this is perfect. Thanks for taking the time to put it up. =)

This is TRULY awesome--but I wouldn't expect any less, from YOU !!

This is serendipitous for me--I was researching vitamin d and that brought up a couple of questions on other supplements. Thank you!!

This should be pinned at the top so everyone can see it. Great job thanks Julie.
