Because standard, over the counter vitamin and mineral supplements may not be sufficient for weight loss surgery patients, Healthier Weight and UK weight loss expert Dr David Ashton have developed VitaWeight.
VitaWeight is unique in today's market. Where current products only exist in chewable or tablet form, VitaWeight offers an easy to swallow, soluble solution. They are the first dissolvable vitamin and mineral products to be exclusively tailored for obesity surgery patients and should be considered an essential aftercare product. We make it easy for patients to understand and meet their recommended nutrient requirements.
Why use VitaWeight Vitamins and Minerals?
What's special about VitaWeight?
-
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. Almost all standard multivitamin formulations use calcium carbonate which needs to combine with hydrochloric acid in the stomach to be absorbed. Following weight loss surgery the amount of acid in the stomach is decreased and patients are often prescribed medication to reduce stomach acid secretion further. For this reason we have used the citrate salt which is well digested and absorbed even when stomach acid is decreased
