CelebrateONE Bariatric Multivitamin 18mg Iron 30 Tablets

What is CelebrateONE 18 Chewables?

CelebrateONE 18 Chewables is a chewable multivitamin specifically designed for patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, or intragastric balloon. Each tablet contains 22 essential vitamins and minerals in highly bioavailable forms, including 18 mg of iron (as ferrous fumarate) and a blend of key nutrients like vitamin A, B complex, vitamin D, folic acid, and magnesium. Its innovative formula uses water-miscible vitamins A, D, and E, which are absorbed without the need for fats, and chelated minerals for better assimilation in the low-acid environment typical after surgery. Additionally, it contains no calcium to avoid interference with iron absorption. This product is free of gluten, sugar, and artificial colors, and complies with the rigorous standards of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). Its delicious black cherry flavor makes daily intake pleasant and without unpleasant aftertastes.

Key benefits for your post-surgical recovery

After bariatric surgery, your body needs optimized nutritional support. CelebrateONE 18 Chewables is formulated to meet these needs simply and effectively. These are its main benefits:

• Adapted iron dose: With 18 mg of iron, it is perfect for maintaining healthy levels without excess, especially if you do not require higher doses. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, as well as to normal cognitive function.
• Calcium-free for better absorption: Calcium can interfere with iron absorption. By excluding it, this multivitamin ensures you get the most out of iron and other minerals.
• Optimized absorption: Water-miscible forms of vitamins A, D, and E are absorbed directly without the need for dietary fat, which is crucial when fat digestion is limited. Chelated minerals are bound to amino acids to facilitate their absorption in a modified digestive tract.
• Energy and immune support: B vitamins contribute to normal energy metabolism, while vitamin A aids the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of bones and the normal functioning of muscles.
• Convenient and pleasant: A single chewable tablet daily, no need to swallow large pills. Its black cherry flavor and soft texture make taking it a pleasure.

Main ingredients and their functions

CelebrateONE 18 Chewables includes a careful selection of essential nutrients, each with specific functions supported by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). These are some of the most notable:

• Vitamin A: Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, the normal functioning of the immune system, and the maintenance of skin in normal conditions.
• B Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12): Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and B12 contribute to normal energy metabolism. B6, B12, and folate (B9) contribute to normal red blood cell formation. B5 contributes to normal intellectual performance.
• Vitamin D: Contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of bones under normal conditions, and the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Vitamin E: Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Iron (ferrous fumarate): Contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, the normal transport of oxygen in the body, and normal cognitive function.
• Magnesium: Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, electrolyte balance, and normal muscle function.
• Folic acid (B9): Contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and normal red blood cell formation.

In addition, the product contains other nutrients in chelated and highly absorbable forms. For the complete list of ingredients, please refer to the product label.

How to choose a bariatric multivitamin?

Not all multivitamins are created equal, especially after bariatric surgery. Here are some key factors to consider:

• Adequate iron dose: Iron is essential to prevent anemia. Look for a dose that suits your needs; 18 mg is a balanced option for many patients.
• Bioavailable forms: Water-miscible vitamins and chelated minerals are better absorbed in the modified digestive system. Avoid forms like magnesium oxide or non-water-miscible palmitate vitamin A.
• Absence of calcium: Calcium competes with iron for absorption, so a quality bariatric multivitamin usually excludes it (calcium is taken separately).
• Quality standards: Verify that the product complies with the guidelines of medical societies such as the ASMBS. This ensures that the formula is backed by scientific evidence.
• Chewable format: Chewable tablets or gummies are easier to take than large capsules, especially if you have digestive discomfort.
• No unnecessary allergens: Opt for formulas free of gluten, sugar, and artificial colors to avoid adverse reactions.

The recommended dose is one chewable tablet daily. Chew the tablet thoroughly before swallowing. You can take it with or without food, but it is recommended to take it with a meal for better tolerance. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't it contain calcium?

Calcium can interfere with iron absorption. Therefore, in bariatric multivitamins, calcium is separated to be taken at another time of day, ensuring maximum absorption of both nutrients.

What are water-miscible vitamins?

These are special forms of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) that can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without the need for dietary fats. This is beneficial after bariatric surgery, where fat digestion may be compromised.

Is it suitable for celiacs?

Yes, the product is gluten-free, making it suitable for people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

Does it contain sugar?

No, it is sugar-free and contains no artificial sweeteners. Its pleasant taste comes from natural ingredients.

How long should I take it?

It is recommended to take it long-term as directed by your medical team. Most bariatric patients need lifelong supplementation to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
