Re: ADEK replacements-Questions

Bariatric Advantage is a good product. But can you use it to replace

ADEKs? That depends on the reason you were taking ADEKs. Did you

just start taking it because you wanted to be pro-active? Or did Dr.

K say to take it...and why...are you low on something?

Dr. K gave a thumbs up on the Aquadeks at a support meeting a couple

months ago. He was brought literature and from what he read he

determined that it was still in a water miscible form and therefore

okay for us to take.

Compare Aquadeks vitamin level with the Bariatric Advantage and YOU

make the determination what you should do.

Aquadeks:

18,167 IU Vitamin A

800 IU Vitamin D

50 IU vitamin E

700 mcg vitamin K

Plus assorted water soluable vitamins.

If you are having a problem with..oh lets say...vitamin D but

everything else is fine. You may want to use bariatric advantage

and only take an additional Vitamin D...instead of trying to take

individual pills for each vitamin.

Right now I am choosing to take a multi (kirkland), Kirkland calcium

citrate, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, and Iron. The advantage

of doing this is I can tweek individual vitamins as needed. But I do

hate all the extra bottles hanging around.

unavailability of the ADEK pills we were originally told to take.

Would this be a good replacement multiple without supplementing A,D,E

& K separately? This is from VitaLady. Cost is $36.99 for 180

count. Why take 2 - 3 tablets when ADEK's only required one?

A few days ago I bought a couple of bottles (60 Softgel Capsules) of ADEK on the

internet.  " SourceCF Softgels Multivitamins with A,B,D,E & K plus Zinc. "

Without seeing the actual product, " softgel " tips me off that the

vitamins are in their fat soluable form, not water soluable like we

need, so we won't absorb as much as we may need - if any!

I wouldn't make assumptions. Time will tell. For example, I take beta

carotene in soft gels and do fine.

Aquadeks being in a softgel formula had many folks questioning if it

was in a formula that we could absorb. AquAdek's formulation was

looked over by Dr. K at a support meeting and he stated that it was

formulated in a way that is absorb-able by us.

The whole " microsphere technology " basically wraps itself around the

fat soluble vitamin and tricks the body into accepting it like a

water soluble vitamin. Kinda, sorta, in a very simplistic

explanation.

Taken from AquAdeks literature:

AquADEKs™ Softgels are a complete nutritional supplement specifically

designed to meet the needs of cystic fibrosis patients and those who

have difficulty absorbing fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients.*

AquADEKs™ uses microsphere technology to enhance the absorption of

this antioxidant rich multivitamin and mineral supplement.
