Potency and Effectiveness backed by a Case Study

There's no question that vitamin/mineral supplementation is important for bariatric patients. But which product should you choose? Chewable multivitamins may provide a good source of foundation nutrition and are readily absorbed, but they often fall short of the recommended nutrient levels for bariatric patients. In contrast, high-potency multivitamins may offer provide a higher concentration of nutrients, yet their ability to dissolve in a patient lacking stomach acid is uncertain. That is, until now…

Using a PillCam™, leading bariatric surgeon Dr. Alan Wittgrove recently studied the absorption of Bx Essentials Multivitamin & Mineral without Iron in bariatric patients. The test showed that even in this difficult population, this Bx Essentials tablet was well-tolerated and dissolved rapidly within 15 minutes. Also, patients reported no “repeating” or reflux after tablet consumption. The results of these groundbreaking observations suggest that the Bx Essentials Multivitamin & Mineral without Iron formula may be uniquely qualified as a tablet delivery form to provide a viable means of nutritional support as part of a doctor-recommended program for bariatric patients.
