Formulation:

Multi-ADEK

• Celebrate Multi-ADEK has been developed specifically for the duodenal switch patient and contains the highest levels of fat-soluble vitamins available in a bariatric supplement. This bariatric multivitamin meets the ASMBS standards of multivitamin after weight loss surgery. In addition to high levels of ADEK, this formula also includes higher amounts of vitamin B-12, Zinc, and Copper. This integrated formula provides maximum bioavailability as we carefully selected each form of vitamin and mineral to enhance interaction and absorption. Multi-ADEK is available in a chewable Berry Sorbet Flavor or as a capsule.
• Our high-ADEK multivitamin contains the highest amounts of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K of any bariatric specific supplement.
• Contains the highest amounts of zinc and copper in a product for duodenal switch patients
• Water-Miscible Vitamins A, D and E (WM): We utilize dry, water-miscible forms of vitamins A, D and E to further enhance absorption. This means that these nutrients do not need to be taken with fat to optimize absorption, unlike many fat-soluble vitamins included in other brands.
• Chelated Minerals: Mineral-Chelation means "attaching to." By chelating our minerals to an amino acid (the building block of protein), we have increased the likelihood that these minerals will be absorbed in a low-acidic environment.
• Gluten Free

Calcium Soft Chew

• Water-Miscible Vitamin D (WM): We utilize a dry, water-miscible form of vitamin D to further enhance absorption. This means that this nutrient does not need to be taken with fat to optimize absorption, unlike many fat-soluble vitamins included in other brands.

IMPORTANT:

• The Celebrate DS Starter Kit helps to simplify our large supplement catalog. This kit meets the 2019 ASMBS Guideline for multivitamin and iron, additional calcium may be required. This kit should serve as a guideline and in no way substitute for medical advice. Ask your health professional before starting any dietary supplement, and communicate if you experience any side effects.
• Excess vitamin A intake, beta-carotene or carotenoid forms excepted, may increase the risk of birth defects and may contribute to osteoporosis. Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not exceed 10,000 IU of vitamin A per day, beta-carotene or carotenoid forms excepted, unless instructed to do so by a healthcare practitioner.
• Excess vitamin D intake can cause non-specific symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and poor appetite. If you are taking a vitamin D supplement contact your healthcare provider for monitoring.
• Taking Copper or Zinc by mouth in higher doses should be monitored. Contact your healthcare provider if you are taking a supplement that contains copper or zinc, and if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
• If you are experiencing persistent nausea, vomiting, GI upset, or other symptoms contact your healthcare provider immediately.
