Vitamin D (5000 IU)
$12.00
Our Vitamin D3 easy-digest mini capsules deliver 5,000 IU of vitamin D as cholecalciferol (D3) in a water-miscible form that is recommended for some bariatric patients.
- Vitamin D3 is the clinically preferred form of vitamin D.
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 with both pre- and post-surgery patients of all bariatric procedure types.
Vitamin D promotes calcium and phosphorus absorption and is needed for bone growth and bone remodeling
