About to undergo or had weight loss surgery?             You need VitaWeight Vitamins and Minerals!

VitaWeight^TM is a unique range of vitamins and minerals, formulated by weight loss expert Dr David Ashton to meet the special nutrient needs of a bariatric patient.

Weight loss surgery reduces the volume of food intake and may also result in reduced absorption of key nutrients, such as folate, vitamin B₁₂, calcium, iron, vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, selenium and magnesium.  

It is important that vitamins and minerals are taken daily to maintain:

• Bone health

• Sufficient iron levels

• A healthy immune system

• Energy levels

Are VitaWeight^TM supplements suitable for me? 

Yes! VitaWeight^TM supplements are of vital importance to your health if you are about to undergo or have had any weight loss surgery procedure including; gastric band, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD),  Bandinaro. 

Why are VitaWeight^TM supplements so different to high street brands?

• Dissolvable tablets. Both the multivitamin and iron tablets dissolve in water/juice for rapid and easy absorption into the body. The liquid format is also helpful for post-surgery patients who find tablets and/or capsules difficult to swallow

• Concentrated B vitamins. Our multivitamin contains all eight of the required B vitamins which work together to help the body metabolise food, protect the heart, regulate nerve growth and boost the immune system

• Calcium Citrate. Most multivitamins use calcium carbonate which needs to combine with hydrochloric acid stomach to be absorbed. As weight loss surgery decreases the amount of acid in the stomach and patients are often prescribed medication to reduce it further, we have used the citrate salt which is well digested and absorbed even when stomach acid is decreased

• Trace Elements.Our multivitamin preparation includes optimal trace element support for weight loss surgery patients including zinc, selenium, copper, molybdenum and chromium

• Iron (LipoFer ^® ). Our iron supplement is LipoFer^® which has several important properties. Absorption is 5 times greater than a standard iron salt, it has no metallic taste and it does not irritate the stomach or bowel
