Journey 3 + 3 vitamins

Has anyone tried the Journey 3 + 3 vitamin from bariatriceating.com? It claims to be an all in one vitamin which would sure be nice.  

You need eight a day to get your minimum requirements.  They combine calcium and iron in the same pill which cancels each other out.  It is not calcium citrate. They are lacking copper and vitamin K.

They sell extra iron, extra calcium and B12 journey vitamins too, so it is not really an all in one.

Just a clever marketing scheme.

Thank you White Dove. I figured it was too good to be true but thought I'd ask in hopes that it wasn't!

When you have had 85% of your stomach removed or cut in half with intestines bypassed, it's common sense that you must somehow make up for nutrients you are unable to take in via food.

They contain B12, Calcium, D, and even your Iron, in forms that do not interact - it's all in one bottle!

WHY USE CALCIUM CITRATE MALATE (CCM): A REVIEW OF THE SUPPORTING SCIENCE SOURCE: DEPARTMENT OF FOODS AND NUTRITION, PURDUE UNIVERSITY THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE INVESTIGATION INTO THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CALCIUM CITRATE MALATE (CCM) SINCE IT WAS FIRST PATENTED IN THE LATE 1980S. CCM HAS BEEN SHOWN TO FACILITATE CALCIUM RETENTION AND BONE ACCRUAL IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. IN ADULTS, IT EFFECTIVELY PROMOTES THE CONSOLIDATION AND MAINTENANCE OF BONE MASS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH VITAMIN D, CCM ALSO DECREASES BONE FRACTURE RISK IN THE ELDERLY, SLOWS THE RATE OF BONE LOSS IN OLD AGE, AND IS OF BENEFIT TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN. CCM IS EXCEPTIONAL IN THAT IT CONFERS MANY UNIQUE BENEFITS THAT GO BEYOND BONE HEALTH. UNLIKE OTHER CALCIUM SOURCES THAT NECESSITATE SUPPLEMENTATION BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A MEAL TO ENSURE AN APPRECIABLE BENEFIT IS DERIVED, CCM CAN BE CONSUMED WITH OR WITHOUT FOOD AND DELIVERS A SIGNIFICANT NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT TO INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES. THE CHEMISTRY OF CCM MAKES IT A PARTICULARLY BENEFICIAL CALCIUM SOURCE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HYPOCHLORYDIA OR ACHLORYDIA, WHICH GENERALLY INCLUDES THE ELDERLY AND THOSE ON MEDICATIONS THAT DECREASE GASTRIC ACID SECRETION. [THIS WOULD ALSO APPLY TO THOSE WHO HAVE HAD GASTRIC OR BARIATRIC SURGERY.] CCM IS ALSO RECOGNIZED AS A CALCIUM SOURCE THAT DOES NOT INCREASE THE RISK OF KIDNEY STONES, AND IN FACT IT PROTECTS AGAINST STONE-FORMING POTENTIAL. THE MAJOR FACTOR THAT MAY PRECLUDE SELECTION OF CCM AS A PREFERRED CALCIUM SOURCE IS THE HIGHER COST COMPARED TO OTHER SOURCES OF CALCIUM COMMONLY USED FOR FORTIFICATION - CALCIUM CARBONATE, ORDINARY CALCIUM CITRATE AND TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE. *Mechanick Jl, et al.

I just looked at their label and see they have added copper and recommend six a day now.
