Helpful vitamin info
Hi! I found a vitamin for your sheet if you want it! I'm kinda stoked about these! These are the iron free version - I haven't started them yet, but they look ever-so-promising - have you heard of them? (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XS5JCD7/ref=oh_aui_deta ilpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1):
- They are inexpensive ($20/for 30)
- You can get them on Amazon
- You only need ONE a day!!
The bolded ones are the ASMBS Recommendations (thanks to you for that amazing spreadsheet!) - and these meet or exceed those recommendations except for Calcium - and I was going to do the chews for that anyway. There are TWO versions that have different dosages of iron!
| ProCare Health Bariatric MultiVitamin IRON FREE | |
| Name | 1 multi |
| A | 10,000 I.U. |

| B2 | 12 mg |

| Pantothenic Acid | 20 mg |
| Selenium | 100 mg |
| Zinc | 15 mg |
I've never seen these before, but they look like they would be a good choice!
They do work out to be a bit more expensive than two multi's a day, though. I pay $5 each (BOGO free) for a bottle of 365 multivitamins at Walgreen's, and two pills will get you to about the same spot.

I had the DS, and we do not absorb fat soluble vitamins easily. I know 10k IU of A is not nearly enough for me. I need 100K IU per day to keep in the normal range. Same with D (I take 100 to 150K IUs per day).
I absorb Bs normally- so I actually cut back on my b supplement.
