The VitaBand™ formula is specifically designed to meet the needs of patients who have an Adjustable Gastric Banding (AGB). Patients with bands can develop deficiencies due to lower food intake, rapid weight loss and other reasons. Some of the deficiencies reported with AGB include Thiamine, B12, Folate, and Iron. Bone loss is also risk. The VitaBand product consists of two chewable wafers per day, which can be taken at any time of the day. It is available in both Watermelon and Lemon Cream flavors. Some features and benefits of this product include:
Comprehensive B-Complex. VitaBand provides an average of 200% of the RDA for most of the B vitamins as well as the accessory nutrients choline and inositol. Bariatric Advantage adds additional B1 to help support patients in maintaining levels of this nutrient that is a risk for deficiency, especially in the early months after surgery. They also include a full 800 micrograms of folic acid, for healthy homocysteine metabolism and to support women who may get pregnant after surgery.
600 milligrams of calcium. This is a very substantial level of calcium for a multivitamin – most provide less than 100mg in a daily dose. With 600 milligrams in a multi, most AGB patients should be able to achieve the RDA of calcium through the combination of this product and dietary intake.
Trace Element Support. All of the Bariatric Advantage multivitamins contain comprehensive trace element support with selenium, zinc, copper, chromium, vanadium and more.
Easy on the digestive system. Many nutrients, especially minerals like magnesium and zinc can be hard on the digestive system. They have opted for nutrient forms like zinc citrate and selenomethionine that are both well absorbed and easy on the gut.
Minimal Use of Sweeteners. Many chewable vitamins provide 4 to 8 grams of sugars in a daily dose. VitaBand™ is sweetened with sucralose (Splenda®) and a minimal amount of low-glycemic, crystalline fructose (less than 1 gram per daily serving).
Minimal “other” ingredients. Bariatric Advantage chewable multivitamins contain the minimal amount of low-allergen tableting materials needed to create a chewable tablet. There is no wheat, gluten, egg, or dairy in our formulas. They also do not include ingredients such as starch, talc, vegetable oils, waxes, or chemical dyes.
Great Taste. This formula comes in two great flavors selected by patients.
