Bariatric Advantage B-12 Speedy Melts (1000 mcg)

Deficiencies of B-12 and folate have been demonstrated with virtually all bariatric surgery procedures. Bariatric Advantage's B-12 was designed to meet the vitamin B-12 needs of individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery. Each tablet provides 1000 micrograms of B-12. This product is a 100 percent lactose-free formula that can be placed under the tongue or between cheek and gum and allowed to dissolve over a period of several minutes. This tablet also contains 200mcg of folic acid. B12 with Folic Acid. Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are synergistic nutrients in the body, supporting many of each other’s functions. The 200 mcg of folic acid in this tablet also means that patients who are or wish to become pregnant can get a full milligram (1000 mcg) of folic acid when they take this product together with any of our multivitamins.

100 Percent Lactose-Free. Some percentage of patients who have undergone weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass or duodenal switch develop lactose intolerance. Others have heard about this potential problem and avoid lactose-containing foods and products without a confirmed problem. The vast majority of B-12 products contain lactose for one of two reasons: 1) the tablet itself contains lactose or 2) the B-12 is titrated in lactose. The latter may not show in the ingredient listing and may cause symptoms for unidentifiable reasons. Our B12 is 100 percent lactose-free. There is no lactose in the base and the B12 ingredient is titrated in calcium. Thus, this is the best choice formula for those who may need to avoid lactose.

Great Taste. We consistently get feedback from customers on the great taste of Bariatric Advantage products, especially their B-12. Great taste fosters compliance and makes the process of taking daily vitamins more pleasant.
