High ADEK Multi Capsule

Research suggests that patients who have undergone Biliopancreatic Diversion (BP-D) or Biliopancreatic Diversion/Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) procedures face higher risks for deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.1

ASMBS guidelines for patients of Gastric Bypass (RYGB/RNY), Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG/SG), and Duodenal Switch (DS) call for a high-potency multivitamin.2 Nutrient forms should be targeted to address the absorption challenges faced by bariatric patients.

Bariatric Advantage High ADEK Multi is specifically designed to help meet the nutritional needs of patients who have undergone malabsorptive procedures by delivering high levels of vitamins A, D, E, and K in bioavailable nutrient forms.

Each two-capsule serving delivers:
Vitamin A 15,000 IU
Vitamin D  5,000 IU
Vitamin E  100 IU
Vitamin K  400 mcg
Provides a full complex of all B vitamins.
Utilizes only vitamin D3, which is more bioactive compared to the D2 form. Vitamin D is critical for calcium absorption.
Utilizes only natural source vitamin E.
Provides comprehensive trace mineral support with zinc, selenium from selenomethionine which is a preferred form for the correction of deficiency,3 along with copper, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum.
