Need info on vitamins

I'm confused about vitamins. My instructions say I will need to take a multivitamin or children's chewable vitamin, twice per day, 200% DV. Does that mean 2 vitamins that are 100% DV each and that EQUALS 200% DV or each one should be 200% with a DV total of 400%? What vitamins do others recommend? I'm thinking chewables would be best for me but I'm open to suggestions.

When I had surgery 4 years ago, my surgeon recommended 3 Flintstone complete chewable multivitamins daily. Since at the time these vitamins were readily available in large bottles at Sam's club, that is what I went with. But Sam's club has transitioned to gummy Flintstones which cannot be used for gastric bypass patients. The chewable are still available in small bottles at drug stores but they cost more. But they are still available in large bottles on-line at Amazon.

Yeah my NUT said 2x your daily value. I take the myKind prenatal because it has the correct amount of iron. I also take the myKind chewable vitamin D and b12 spray.


If your insurance covers it, Google nascobal. 25 bucks a month and geared towards the standards for bariatric patients. My bloodwork comes back great.
All the best!

Try to get the sublingual vitamins. They melt under your tongue in a few seconds.

A couple of the major vitamin suppliers have applied the term RAPI-MELTS to the vitamin name when it is a sublingual rapid-melting kind.

My Men's Over 50 Multivitamin and my B12 are rapi-melts.
