They include appetite, hunger, nutrient absorption, metabolic rate, fat and glucose metabolism, energy storage and many others. Thus adequate micronutrient intake is not only important for good health, but also for maximum weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Inadequate vitamin and minteral consumption can lead to potentially serious health consequences so for the obesity surgery patient, it's not just beneficial but essential to have lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation.

What's special about VitaWeight?
VitaWeightTM products have been specially formulated by Healthier Weight and manufactured in Switzerland. Rigorously tested for purity and stability they have a number of important advantages for weight loss surgery patients.
-
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
-
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
