Where do you find your vitamin supplements?

[paulamelton 13]

I just bought my Multi-Vitamin (required to have folic acid of 400mcg, Iron of 18 mg, zinc, copper and selenium and B12 500 mcg) and my calcium citrate (required to have 1200-1500 mg) for $20. I got the opurity calcium-citrate plus chewable from unjury.com and the multi-vitamin from Amazon, the Pro Care Health Bariatric Multivitamin for $20. Is there somewhere out there that has all of this that is easier on the pocketbook?

I use the Walgreen multi Vitamin for 50 plus. I eat enough dairy for the Calcium and I take D3 because I am deficient in Vitamin D. You can get sublingual B12 at Walmart for cheap. You don't need any vitamin with Iron unless you are iron deficient.

The first Vitamins which was the chewable ones right after surgery I got from Walgreens and CVS, after finishing the chewable ones I got the pill form from Walmart and they are working just fine for me. I’m taking a multi Vitamin, B12 and Calcium. CVS and Walgreens always have sales so when I run out I’ll check them out. Look for sales 🙂

I use the B12 sublingual from Bariatric Pal , good tasting, reasonable and sold by somewhere they care about us Bariatric people, not just chasing the Almighty Dollar!

I'm required to take a multi with iron. @paulamelton If your surgeon has recommended one with iron, I would follow his or her recommendation.

right now i take the pro health multivitamin from Amazon, the one with Iron.

I have a crazy, long Vitamin list by specific brand and I just get them all on Amazon.

NO gummies

1. Multivitamin w/minerals (Centrum or One-A-Day)
2. B12 (I get monthly shots at my PCP because TOO MANY PILLS!)
3. Calcium Vivactiv brand 630 mg 3x a day
4. Vitamin D
5. Iron Vitron-C (cool side effect, green poop)

This on top of my normal meds is enough that I have to use an app to manage it. You can't take iron and calcium within 2 hours of each other. The app is called Medisafe.

I bought them all in chewable form at GNC but they weren't cheap

I buy the Bariatric Advantage chewables online (either Amazon or here). I like only having to remember to take one kind of Vitamin. I think if I had to take a bunch of different Vitamins, I'd routinely miss some. They're expensive, but in reality, its no more than I'd have spent on one a couple nights of take out before the surgery and they last me a month.

I live in a small town, and tried to find stuff... drove to a larger city... checked at Walgreens.... I got tired of looking, and just didn't want to try and consume all the requirements... so i just went to tespo... and ordered bariatric & hair & nails. I"ve been very happy with them, and know that I'm getting the right amount. It probably is more expensive, but i have so many other things going on in my life with job, family... it makes my life simple.
