Ray, you have obviously not researched Vita4Life very well. If you would

have done your research you would have found out that Vita4Life is ALSO

formulated with " three " types of WLS patients in mind, distal, medial and

proximal. 12 capsules a day are for distals, 8 a day for medial and 4 a day

for proximals. I know you think your products are superior, however, DON'T

sit there and disclaim a very good product (Vita4Life) if you aren't going to

give the FACTS about it. Let members go to the website at www.vita4life.com

and see for themselves.

I personally have taken this product, but prefer regular OTC vitamins

instead. However, my surgeon recommends these vitamins from Vita4Life OR the

vitamin list from Vitalady.

In the product sold by Vita4Life at http://www.vita4life.net all the

vitamins and minerals are thrown together in a single capsule, iron,

calcium, B-12, everything. A dosage is 12 capsules per day,

http://www.vita4life.net/dosage.html This dosage gives you 2000 mg

calcium(citrate)(200%DC), 2,400 IU vitamin D (600% DV) and 200 mg

magnesium (50% DV). On a per capsule basis, this works out to 166 mg

calcium(citrate), 200 IU vitamin D and 17 mg magnesium. The Vita4Life

product also has 45,000 IU vitamin A(palmitate) per 12 capsule dosage or

3750 IU palmitate per capsule.

Bariatric Supplement System, http://www.bariatricsupplementsystem.com

takes a different approach. It offers three supplement products, the

Multi-Wellness capsule, the Cal-Mag-D capsule and the Sub-B-Trio

sublingual table. Bariatric Supplement System operates on the premise

that there are three basic types of WLS patients. The first type is the

Basic patient who has had a proximal RNY and needs only basic

supplementation (60 mg iron and 1200 mg calcium(citrate), etc.) That

patient takes two Multi-Wellness capsules, 6 Cal-Mag-D capsules and one

Sub-B-Trio tablet. The second type is the Cal+ individual who does fine

with the basic multivitamin supplementation, but needs a higher degree

of calcium supplementation. The Cal+ patient is typically a female over

the age of 50 or anyone under the age of 30 or over the age of 55. That

patient takes two Multi-Wellness capsules, 9 Cal-Mag-D capsules and one

Sub-B-Trio tablet (60 mg iron and 1800 mg calcium(citrate), etc.). The

third type of patient is the Max individual who because of the type of

operation, a medial or distal RNY or BPD/DS, has a higher level of

malabsorption needs to be meet. That patient takes three Multi-Wellness

capsules, nine Cal-Mag-D capsules and one Sub-B-Trio tablet (90 mg iron

and 1800 mg calcium(citrate), etc.). Bariatric Supplement System uses

vitamin A only in the beta-carotene form. Its iron is in the iron amino

acid chelate form typically used in prenatal vitamins.

The standard dosage of Cal-Mag-D is six capsules containing 1200 mg

calcium(citrate) (120% DV), 400 mg magnesium (100% DV) and 800 IU

vitamin D (200% DV). Each capsule contains 200 mg calcium(citrate), 75

mg magnesium, and 133 IU vitamin A.

Bariatric Supplement Systems just sells the three systems, Basic, Cal+

and Max from its web site. If someone want to buy one of the products

individually, they need to email or call the company with their request.

Ahhh, here is my two cents...no slamming either...my spouse and I have been

together for 17 WONDERFUL years...porn is something we look forward to,

together...we both have a very healthy sexual appetite and I SAY " As long as

we BOTH agree with it, then let's do it " meaning, watching porn, flirting,

strip clubs, etc...different strokes for different folks...some couples are

in to " Swinging " , now, I always thought hubby and I were open to mostly

everything but THAT is not our style...we enjoy being together just the two

of us, but flirting and porn is not harmful in the least...my hubby always

says " He always comes home to me because he knows where his tube steak is

seasoned best " he he he...flirting is harmless fun UNLESS someone is looking

for outside action and if that is the case, flirting, titty bars or porn wont

matter...where there is a will there is a way and if someone wants

extracurricular activity they will find it regardless...old fashioned or new

aged, i NEVER judge someone else's choices unless they affect me

personally...their business, NOT MINE!!!!!
