Can I use this as a multivitamin?



Recommended Posts

A Protein Shake that I recently tried and really liked has a lot of good stuff in it. I was wondering if I could use this as a Multivitamin during the first & second stage after surgery? Here are the supplement facts: Serving Size: 3 Scoops Servings Per Container: 14 spacer.gifAmount per Serving spacer.gifspacer.gifCalories Total 134 spacer.gif from Fat 11 spacer.gifAmount per Serving % Daily Value+spacer.gifspacer.gifTotal Fat 1 g 2 spacer.gifSodium 140 mg 6 spacer.gifTotal Carbohydrate 17 g 6 spacer.gif Dietary Fiber 6 g 24 Sugars 6 g Protein 15 g 30 % Daily Value Vitamin A 100% Beta Carotene 5000 IU 100 Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 60 mg 100 Vitamin D Ergocalciferol 400 IU 100 Vitamin E D-Alpha Tocopherol Succinate 30 IU 100 Thiamin (B1) Thiamine Mononitrate 1.5 mg 100 Riboflavin (B2) 1.7 mg 100 Niacin (B3) 20 mg 100 Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine HCL 2 mg 100 Folate,Folic Acid,Folacin 400 mcg 100 Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin 12 mcg 200 Biotin D-Biotin 300 mcg 100 Pantothenic acid Calcium Pantothenate 10 mg 100 Calcium Calcium Carbonate 30 mg 3 Iodine Potassium Iodide 45 mcg 30 Magnesium Magnesium Oxide 120 mg 30 Zinc Zinc Oxide 4.5 mg 30 Selenium Sodium Selenite 21 mcg 30 Manganese Manganese Sulfate .600 mg 30 Chromium Chromium Chelate 36 mcg 30 Molybdenum Amino Acid Chelate 22.5 mcg 30 Nickel Nickel Amino Acid Chelate 5 mcg Silicon Silicon Dioxide 2 mg Vanadium Vanadium Sulfate 10 mcg Boron Boron Amino Acid Chelate 50 mcg Brown Rice Solids 20000 mg*Vegan Protein Blend 18677 mg*Pea Protein Isolate Rice Protein Isolate Organic Hemp Spirulina Chlorella Barley Grass Juice Organic Inulin from Agave 5682 mg*Greens Blend 500 mg*DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid from Algal Oil) Life's DHA 1000 mg*Proteolytic Enzyme 84 mg*Protease (4.5) 29000 HUT*Bromelain 540000 FCCPU*Protease (3.0) 27 SAPU*Peptidase 2000 HUT*Protease (6.0) 4000 HUT*Dairy Free Probiotic Blend 19 mg*Lactobacillus Plantarum Bifidobacterium Bifidum (Providing 8 Billion Active Cells

Since no one responded I'm going to assume that's because no one was sure about it. I compared it to common Gummy Multivitamins (since that is what I would be taking during the first few months after surgery) and this Protein Powder mixed with milk or Water seems to have more Vitamins per serving so I'll probably just use this as my multivitamin and kill two birds with one stone and get my Protein and multivitamin in in one shot.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
