with a subtotal gastrectomy(s/p 1 month) . The patient is scheduled labs for

Vit B12 level.Also, what is your professional opinion about a a whole food

supplement called " NanoGreens10 by Bioparma Scientific.( Fact or Fiction)

Thank you for your help!

I don't have a vitamin recommendation but I looked at the Nanogreens website -

looks expensive and processed - not necessarily worse than other similar

products but not better than food. The " Meal " has a pitiful B vitamin balance -

so could be worse than Carnation and the like. Their antioxidant and superfood

content includes some nice names on the label but at half a gram of a

" proprietary blend " - I question whether any one of the phytonutrients would be

present in an effective amount. Cinnamon is contained but the tested dose in

diabetes is more like 1/2 tsp/day, not a few milligrams.

Vitamin B2 (as Riboflavin) 170mcg 10%

Vitamin B3 (as Niacin) 400mcg 2%

Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxial-5phosphate) 1mg 50%

Vitamin B9 (as folic acid) 200mcg 12%

Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) 85.5mcg 1425%

and their independent chemical analysis showed their product as not meeting the

stated B12 amount, only tested at 27.3 mcg - not too close to their label's 85.5

claim.

and would 200 mcg of folic acid be only 12% of the RDA? I didn't see any change

to that number and I thought it was 400 for most age groups.
