Description
A water-miscible form of vitamin D is important for some patients as other fat-soluble forms require dietary fat for proper absorption. Some bariatric surgery patients lack the necessary dietary fat due to the impaired ability to absorb fat or reduced fat intake.
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies seen in both pre- and post-surgery patients of all bariatric procedure types.
ASMBS guidelines call for at least 3,000 IU vitamin D per day for patients of most bariatric procedure types.
Vitamin D promotes calcium and phosphorus absorption and is needed for bone growth and bone remodeling.
Each Bariatric Advantage Dry Vitamin D Capsule provides 5000 IU of vitamin D as cholecalciferol (D3). The vitamin D3 form is more bioactive than D2 which is often the form used in many high-potency products. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common causes of metabolic bone disease and can also impact your immune system. This high-potency product can be used to support healthy vitamin D levels before and after bariatric surgery. The water-miscible powder used in this supplement is a good choice for bariatric patients with fat malabsorption issues. As an added benefit, this water-miscible "dry" vitamin D comes in a small, easy to swallow capsule.
