On the top of my screen I saw an ad for Opurity vits and clicked on it. They are made by the makes of Unjury. Ok, so here is my question. It states that its only necessary to take 1 vit a day (multi) can our bodies absorb 200% of required vits in one sitting?

They are basically the same as my BA's although they seem more natural. No dyes or sugar subsitutes but their big claim is no ingredients from China therfore making them "safer"

ETA: I would like to say that I am happy with my BA. I am just wondering if this is more of a scam type thing.

We can probably absorb at least close to 200% of most stuff at one time, yeah. One thing I don't like about Opurity, though, is that they have no copper. So you'd need to take a copper supplement with them, so you would still need two pills. I spoke with someone at Unjury about the lack of copper and I was told that 1) they did not believe RNY patients need copper (even though the ASMBS says we do) and 2) there is no place in the whole world they can get copper from except China and no ingredients from China are safe so they could not put copper in the vitamin even if they did believe we needed it (which they don't). Does that make sense to you? Because it really doesn't make sense to me.

ETA: I think they are fine as long as you take some copper with them. I don't know if they are any safer than your BA, though.

I really recommend requesting samples before you buy a bunch of any chewable vitamins. Some people love them, some hate them.

I use the Opurity Bypass Optimized Multi chewable. I looked on my bottle and it does have copper in it. I will only be 9 weeks out tomorrow so I haven't had any blood tests done yet to know if this multi will in fact be good enough. That said, it is nice to only take one a day.

Really? They must have changed the formula. That's good. When they first came out they had no copper and I had a long discussion with someone at the company who told me they could only get copper from china so they weren't putting any in there.

Their website also shows that it has copper. I might look into these.

They do have copper now. At some point they added it. When they first came out with them, they didn't. They look like a pretty good choice to me now.

Luckily for me, they taste good, too. The flavor is orange berry. I hope when I have lab work done, these will suffice.
