Hello, so I was set on wanting to use Bariatricpal once a day multivitamin but cost of shipping is more than the cost of 3 months of supply.

So I am back on square one and not sure which brand to go with.

Anyone from Canada? Which brand of supplements did you use, easily accessible for Canada, specifically Ontario?

I've always used drugstore vitamins (the better brands, like Centrum). You have to take two of them to meet the requirements. Here are the vitamin (and dosage) recommendations of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (you have to scroll down to see them).

I have been on the Jamieson Prenatal with DHA. I was told at my last appointment I could switch to Centrum Forte (2 a day)...but I had bought a bunch of the Jamieson, so I will finish that first.

Also, I believe Jamieson is Canadian, and the prices are pretty good. You can order online...though I haven't had any issues getting them at the Drugstore or Grocery Store.

I take ProCare health multivitamin with 45mg iron. Not sure of the shipping cost to Canada though. The number on the back of the bottle is 877 822 5808. ProCarenow.com.

Yeh Jamieson is easily available here. But I was looking to get 1 pill a day kinda routine. But most of them are available in the US that costs shipping as much as the price of the meds.

But I finally found a bariatric brand available on iHerb Canada and decent pricing with free shipping.

It's called "Naturelo Bariatric multivitamin". It has all the requirements and my dietician is happy with it. So I'll be taking that for now until I get my blood work done. No other extra supplements needed. Even Calcium I get it from dairy consumption, so dietician will wait till the blood work to see if I need anything more.

Progressive's multi vitamin chewable is easy to take and is good. I take two. . Find them at Popeyes supplements or healthy planet. The compleat Colligen is great also. I'm in Mississauga and these two have location close to eachother so pricing is competitive.
