SFI Health Klaire Labs Vitalactiv - Suplemento Multivitamínico y Mineral Bariátrico, Hipoalergénico con Folato Activo y Minerales Quelados (120 Cápsulas)

What is Vitalactiv and for whom is it indicated?

Vitalactiv is a multivitamin and mineral food supplement developed specifically for people who have undergone bariatric surgery. After such an intervention, the gastrointestinal system undergoes alterations that modify the ability to absorb essential nutrients. Therefore, it is essential to have nutritional support adapted to these new needs.

This product has been formulated by Klaire Labs, a brand with more than 50 years of experience and supported by healthcare professionals. Its composition includes highly bioavailable forms of nutrients, designed to maximize absorption even under compromised digestive conditions.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Benefits of a specialized bariatric multivitamin

People who have undergone bariatric surgery have unique and lifelong nutritional requirements. Vitalactiv is designed to cover these needs completely, providing vitamins and minerals in easily assimilable forms.

Among the benefits supported by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) for the included nutrients are:

• Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• Zinc contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
• Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to normal energy metabolism.
• Folic acid contributes to normal blood cell formation.

These are just some of the functions that the nutrients in Vitalactiv can support when integrated into a varied diet.

Key ingredients: active forms and chelates

The quality of a supplement largely depends on the form of its ingredients. Vitalactiv stands out for including:

• Folate as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF): it is the active form of folic acid, ready to be used by the body without the need for hepatic conversion, which is especially useful in people with digestive disorders.
• Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin: biologically active form of B12, essential for neurological function and red blood cell formation.
• Chelated minerals: minerals are bound to amino acids to improve their absorption and reduce digestive discomfort. This includes forms such as magnesium citrate, zinc glycinate or chromium picolinate.

In addition, the product is formulated to be hypoallergenic, free of the most common allergens: milk/casein, fish, shellfish, peanuts, wheat, gluten and soy. It does not contain artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

How to choose the best bariatric multivitamin for you?

Selecting a supplement after bariatric surgery is not a trivial decision. You should consider:

• Nutrient forms: opt for active forms such as methylcobalamin and L-5-MTHF, especially if you have absorption problems.
• Hypoallergenicity: many patients develop food sensitivities; a product without common allergens reduces the risk of reactions.
• Professional advice: Vitalactiv is designed to be used under the direction of a healthcare professional, who can adjust the dose according to your analyses.
• Format: capsules are easy to swallow and can be opened if necessary (consult your doctor).

Remember that each patient is unique; ideally, periodic analyses should be carried out to adapt the supplementation.

Dosage and recommendations for use

The recommended dose of Vitalactiv is 4 capsules per day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is preferable to divide the doses throughout the day to improve absorption.

Capsules should be taken with food to facilitate tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach of small children.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
