Individuals who undergo duodenal switch surgery require higher levels of fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K for optimal health after weight loss surgery. Multi-ADEK vitamin capsules are specifically designed to address the unique needs of bariatric surgery patients, delivering a targeted blend of vitamins and minerals in convenient, easy-to-swallow capsules. Bariatric multivitamin with the highest levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K available in a bariatric supplement Utilizes high-bioavailability nutrients for effective absorption in an altered digestive system ADEK vitamin includes higher levels of vitamin B-12, zinc, and copper for comprehensive post-surgical support Iron free formula allows you to personalize your iron supplementation plan as needed Multi ADEK vitamin capsules meet the guidelines set forth by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Made from veggie capsules that are gelatin free. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between Multi-ADEK and a regular bariatric multivitamin?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A standard bariatric multivitamin covers a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals at doses suitable for most surgery types, while Multi-ADEK delivers vitamins A, D, E and K at higher therapeutic doses specifically calibrated for patients with significant fat malabsorption where a standard formula falls short. Most DS and SADI-S patients use Multi-ADEK with higher levels of vitamin B-12, Zinc, and Copper rather than as a standalone multivitamin, because their nutritional needs require a more targeted approach." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who should take A, D, E, K vitamins after bariatric surgery?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Multi-ADEK is primarily formulated for Duodenal Switch and SADI-S patients, for whom ADEK deficiencies are a near-universal concern and dedicated supplementation is strongly recommended by ASMBS guidelines. It also may be recommended for any bariatric patient whose routine bloodwork shows low levels of vitamins A, D, E or K despite standard multivitamin use." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does ADEK stand for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "ADEK stands for Vitamins A, D, E and K — the four fat-soluble vitamins essential for long-term health that are frequently depleted after certain types of bariatric surgery. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins require healthy fat absorption to be processed, and after surgeries that significantly affect fat absorption the body's ability to absorb all four is dramatically reduced." } } ] }
