Does this multivitamin contain iron, and if so, how much?
Yes, this specific formula contains 45 mg of Iron (as ferrous fumarate) per daily serving. This is a high-potency dose specifically tailored for weight loss surgery patients who require extra iron to prevent deficiency and anemia.
How many tablets do I need to take each day?
The serving size for the Celebrate Multi-Complete 45 is only 1 chewable tablet per day. This once-daily formula makes it incredibly convenient to stay compliant with your post-op vitamin routine.
Do I need to take a separate Vitamin B-12 supplement with this?
No, a separate B-12 supplement is generally not necessary. This multivitamin includes an increased level of 250 mcg of Vitamin B-12 per serving (utilizing a blend of methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin) to ensure optimal absorption even after digestive tract alterations.
What form does this vitamin come in, and what does it taste like?
This product is a chewable tablet with a tasty, fruity Forest Berry flavor. It is designed to be easy to break down, making it an excellent option for post-op patients who cannot swallow whole capsules or are experiencing pill fatigue.
Can I take this multivitamin at the same time as my calcium supplements?
No, you must not take this product at the same time as calcium supplements. Because iron and calcium compete for the same absorption pathways in the body, taking them together will significantly reduce how much iron you absorb. It is highly recommended to space your calcium supplements at least two hours apart from this multivitamin.
Is this supplement suitable for my specific type of bariatric surgery?
This formula is specifically developed to meet the strict nutritional demands of patients who have undergone Sleeve Gastrectomy, Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y), and all other major weight loss procedures.
Are the nutrients in this chewable easy for a bariatric patient to absorb?
Yes, Celebrate formulates these with maximum bioavailability in mind. It features chelated minerals for superior absorption and water-miscible forms of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), which dissolve more easily in water to ensure your altered digestive system can successfully uptake them.
