The Family Nutrition Center of South Florida
Bariatric Vitamins:
As you transform your body into a healthier you, the use of vitamin supplements are essential. Lucille Beseler MS, RD,CDE - President and Founder of the Family Nutrition Center is committed to helping you achieve optimal health and wellness. Ms. Beseler has worked with Bariatric clients for 19 years. She has assisted them with their goals pre and post surgical weight loss. Her concern for the nutritional health of Bariatric clients is the impetus for her review of vitamins and vitamin companies.
Ms. Beseler has reviewed many studies and supports the expert panel on Nutritional Guidelines for the Surgical Weight Loss patients statement that, "deficiencies of single vitamins are less likely if multiple vitamins are used". She questions the need for a special expensive bariatric vitamin supplement. It a "bariatric vitamin" mandatory? What is needed is a vitamin supplement that contains all the necessary nutrients in the right amounts that is easy to take and formulated by a company that is dedicated to nutritional health and delivered at a reasonable cost.
Many individuals that have undergone Bariatric surgery stop taking their vitamins at approximately 6-8 months after surgery. Why? As reported “the necessity to buy special bariatric vitamins are costly, and the stigma of baritric vitamins prevent many individuals from continuing to take their vitamins". Due to this problem, Lucille Beseler and the Family Nutrition Center has been searching for effective supplements that can be used by Bariatric clients. Again, we looked at many different supplements, research the companies, and decided on Mannatech vitamins and supplements as an excellent choice. We came to this decision for many reasons most importantly, due to the quality of their products, the cost benefit, and the integrity of the company.
