FAQs
Why do bariatric patients need iron supplements after bariatric surgery?
After bariatric surgery, a bariatric patient's body’s ability to absorb iron can be significantly reduced due to changes in the digestive system. Iron supplements help prevent iron deficiency and anemia, which are common in bariatric patients.
How much iron should I take after bariatric surgery?
The typical recommended dosage for bariatric patients is 45-60 mg of elemental iron per day. However, your healthcare provider may adjust this dosage based on your individual needs and blood test results.
Why Barimelts® Iron + Vitamin C
Barimelts® Iron with vitamin C is formulated with carbonyl iron, which is gentler on the stomach and reduces the likelihood of common issues like nausea or constipation that patients may experience with other types of iron. The inclusion of vitamin C is crucial because it enhances iron absorption, ensuring that bariatric patients can efficiently maintain their iron levels. Additionally, the melt-in-your-mouth formulation makes it easy to take, especially for those with post-surgery sensitivities.
Can I take Barimelts® Iron with vitamin C with other vitamins and supplements?
Calcium can interfere with the absorption of iron. It’s best to take iron supplements and calcium supplements at different times of the day to ensure optimal absorption of both nutrients. However, consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements to avoid potential interactions.
How should I take Barimelts® Iron with Vitamin C for best results?
Take Barimelts® Iron + Vitamin C with a meal to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. Avoid taking them with dairy products, coffee, or tea, as these can hinder iron absorption. Follow the instructions on the supplement label and your healthcare provider’s guidance for enhanced absorption.
