Bariatric Advantage® Iron capsule includes thiamin and copper, as well as vitamin C to aid iron absorption. It provides the minimum recommended daily amount of iron for individuals following RYGB, SG, and BPD/BPD-DS procedures as recommended by ASMBS.1 This capsule makes an ideal complement to Bariatric Advantage Multi Chewy Bite multivitamins.
Iron deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies seen with patients of all bariatric procedure types and a capsule form is often preferred over chewable tablets for long-term supplementation by some bariatric surgery patients.
ASMBS guidelines call for a minimum of 18 mg of iron per day for patients of all bariatric procedure types and many female patients need 45-60 mg per day.2
Vitamin C can help with the absorption of iron. Iron and calcium should be taken two hours apart. Calcium has been shown to reduce iron absorption after a meal by 50-60%.
Iron carries oxygen and plays a critical role in enzyme functions, immune function, growth, and development.
