Has anyone heard of Vitamins by "Garden of Life"? Thank you

I had tried a green juice Vitamin energy powder from them last summer. It wasn't too bad tasting and I really did feel better while using it. I just wanted to save money so stopped buying it.

Here is my understanding about vitamns. What my surgeons office informed me to do, buy a chewable one a day multi, and some type of calcium citrate, I already take a Vitamin d3 prescribed. What else? Is this wrong? Are there more I will need to take??

I was also told a B12 dissolvable.

BariatricPal fusion chewable has everything in it you need. No need for extra Calcium, Biotin, b12....it has it all! Recommended by my surgeon and all my levels at 6 mos. are excellent. Take 2 in the morning and 2 in afternoon/evening and you are good to go. Comes in a bunch of different flavors too.

For the Calcium I was told 500 mcg 3 times a day at least 2 hrs apart. It's this the same amount in the one you take and do you know if it would be absorbed differently by taking at different times?

I don't know how they taste yet but I just ordered mine from Amazon. liquid ones for post op. Company is Wellese.

I think that's what I have. Tastes pretty good.

My Dr recommended any Multivitamin that's chewable or dissolvable. I use Nature Made Vitamelts. Got them of Amazon for about 6.00. They taste good. They more in them than some I looked at. I also found a dissolvable Biotin at costco. It's good too.

Don't take your calcium citrate with your multi Vitamin.
