How are the multivitamins packaged? Our tablets and capsules are packaged in convenient and childproof bottles. This also ensures that they are well protected against the influence of oxygen, moisture, light and bacteria. It’s very hygienic and important for the shelf life.

All of our multivitamins are Halal-friendly. It means that our entire production process and all the materials used meet the set Halal standards. However, currently we do not obtain an internationally recognized certification for it.

Almost all of our supplements are free of lactose, yeast, gluten, and synthetic fragrances, colors, and flavors. Consult the complete ingredient list on our website to ensure you’re able to take our multivitamins.

Yes and also if you are nursing, you can safely use our multivitamins. Just don’t take an extra separate vitamin A supplement if you are pregnant or nursing.

A chewable tablet does not contain iron and copper. That’s because high doses of iron and copper are not nice to eat. It can even hurt when you chew it. That’s why you get a separate Ferro tablet with iron and copper with chewable tablets. Make sure there is a gap of at least 2 hours between the intake of calcium supplements, dairy products and iron (the Ferro tablet). Calcium reduces the absorption of iron.

You swallow a capsule with a sip of water or sugar-free drink. Do you have trouble swallowing capsules? Moisten the capsule in your mouth before swallowing. This makes it stick less. Or choose our chewable vitamin. The composition is almost the same, only there is no iron and copper in the chewable tablet. That’s because high doses of iron and copper are not nice to swallow. It can even hurt when you chew it. That’s why you get a separate iron/copper tablet with the chewable tablet to take daily.

You only need 1 capsule per day. Do you use Forte or Opti and choose chewable tablets? Then you take 1 chewable tablet and 1 iron/copper tablet daily. Our multivitamins are designed so that with this one intake you limit the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and stay in balance.

Why are multivitamins important before my surgery? Vitamin and mineral deficiencies and insufficient values often occur in overweight people. Hair loss is a common complaint after weight loss surgery. You can start taking FitForMe multivitamins before your surgery to prepare your body well for the operation. You improve your blood values. And thanks to the relatively high dose of zinc in this multivitamin, you keep your hair strong.

A multivitamin is not a quick fix or temporary solution. Moreover, your body has changed and will continue to do so. To combat vitamin and mineral deficiencies and feel fit, now and later, you need multivitamins permanently. So taking good care of yourself after a weight loss surgery is extremely important. Even if the operation was done some time ago.

Because of a weight loss surgery your body absorbs fewer vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately, it will continue to do so. To prevent deficiencies and complaints, take multivitamins every day, throughout your life. As an extra addition to your diet. To support your energy, balance and a strong body. 

We recommend starting with WLS Start from 90 to 45 days before your surgery. Will you have surgery within 45 days? Then start the multivitamin for your surgery type 2 weeks before surgery. After surgery, your stomach and digestive system have changed. This affects how you tolerate nutrients. By starting multivitamins earlier, your body is more likely to respond well to them. This makes it easier to keep taking multivitamins after surgery. In the first two weeks after surgery, your body must recover and swallowing can be painful. In that period it is better not to take any multivitamins.

Taking vitamins is not always about taking more. In fact, too much can be harmful. It’s about getting the right vitamins and minerals in the right proportions. Multivitamins available at a drugstore or supermarket are designed for people with a healthy weight and intact digestive system. FitForMe believes that everyone needs something different. And that’s especially true for you if you’ve had a weight loss surgery. Through scientific research, we know which vitamins and minerals you absorb less of. Therefore, our multivitamins are uniquely formulated. In the right proportions, tailored to your operation. So that you get exactly what you need to stay fit.

That depends on your type of weight loss surgery. Through scientific research we know exactly which vitamins and minerals you absorb less of after the operation. As a result, our multivitamins are specially designed to meet your body’s needs. With a multivitamin as a supplement to your diet, you get the right vitamins and minerals. No more, no less. Find out which multivitamin suits you best here.

There are different types of weight loss surgeries such as Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass (also called One Anastomosis Bypass or Omega Loop Gastric Bypass), Gastric Band and Biliopancreatic Diversion/Duodenal Switch. In all of these surgeries, the surgeon makes your stomach smaller. In Australia we distinguish between a Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass and Gastric Band. You should discuss which surgery is best for you with a doctor.

A weight loss surgery is an operation to help you lose weight if you are severely overweight. We also call it bariatric metabolic surgery. A weight loss surgery is performed only when all other methods of weight loss fail. In most surgeries, the stomach is reduced in size and your digestive tract is adjusted. As a result, you eat less and feel less hungry. In this way you lose weight and complaints caused by obesity can be reduced or disappear altogether.

In addition to Fiber Complex, exercise is incredibly important. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and work out twice a week. This is not only good for your intestines. Exercise also helps you feel fit and lose weight faster. In addition, drink 1.5 liters to 2 liters of water per day and eat high-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits and whole grain products. Another important factor for a healthy intestines is to avoid stress. Your brain is strongly connected to your intestines. So make some time every day for necessary relaxation.

Besides calcium, iron is an important mineral that you need after weight loss surgery. That’s why iron is often included in multivitamins. Calcium limits the absorption of iron. For this reason it is not advisable to take calcium together with a multivitamin. Also, your body is not capable of absorbing more than 500mg of calcium at a time. Dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt contain calcium. Therefore, take a calcium tablet separately, at least 2 hours before or after a multivitamin or dairy products. 

Magnesium citrate is the form of magnesium that your body absorbs well. So it’s very valuable. Magnesium citrate only takes up a lot of space. That would mean that our multivitamins would be much larger. That makes it harder to consume. This is why we have not opted for this. Do you have a magnesium deficiency? Then we recommend using magnesium tablets in addition to a multivitamin.

Magnesium is not something you produce yourself. Therefore, you need a supplement or food rich in magnesium. Vegetables like kale, broccoli and spinach, nuts, seeds and kernels are good sources of magnesium. It is also found in fish, beans and avocado. Too much caffeine (coffee and tea) and alcohol actually reduce magnesium absorption.  

  • Do not take the capsule or chewable tablet on an empty stomach, but during or right after your lunch or dinner. Before bedtime is also possible. If you have food in your stomach, the chance of nausea after taking a multivitamin is lower.
  • The easiest way to swallow the capsule is with a sip of water or sugar-free drink.
  • Move your chin towards your chest and not backward while swallowing the capsule.
  • Is the multivitamin too big to swallow? Open the capsule and take the contents (powder). You can mix the powder with sugar-free applesauce or other sugar-free liquid foods. We recommend sugar-free foods because you may not be able to tolerate sugar and sugary foods after weight loss surgery.
  • Do you also use dairy products or calcium supplements? Do not take them at the same time as the multivitamin. Make sure that there is a minimum of 2 hours between taking the multivitamin and calcium supplements/dairy products.
  • Bonus tip: set a daily reminder on your phone. It will help you stay on track with your multivitamin intake.
  • Do you still have questions or difficulty taking the multivitamins? Feel free to contact us. We would be happy to help you.

Strong bones are important, especially after a weight loss surgery. They protect your organs and literally help you move forward. Calcium is important for maintaining strong bones. Since you can eat less after weight loss surgery, there is a high chance of a calcium deficiency. With Calcium Forte and Calcium Forte you still get your daily required amount. Or choose Calcium Soft Chew. Easy to take thanks to a unique, soft texture and fresh lemon flavor.

Your heart and vessels provide your body with oxygen and essential nutrients. You want to keep them healthy. Since you eat less after a weight loss surgery, you don’t get enough nutrients. For example, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fatty fish. Unable to eat fish a few times a week after surgery? Our Omega-3 fish oil capsules are a source of EPA and DHA. Strengthen your heart and vessels without feeling full. How nice!

After weight loss surgery, there are a lot of changes. Mental and physical. You will suddenly get fewer nutrients which can affect your bowel movements. FitForMe Fiber Complex can help you. Our natural fiber tablets promote intestinal function and stimulate bowel movements. In addition, fiber contributes to a healthy weight. It contains hardly any calories but gives you a satisfying feeling. As a result, you are less likely to eat snacks. A perfect addition to your diet!

Unfortunately hair loss is more common after weight loss surgery. Usually in the first months after surgery. This is a very unpleasant experience, which no one wants. How can this happen? After the operation, your body is working hard. To lose pounds and recover. This is why other processes are at a lower ebb. So too the production and quality of hair and nails. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals can also lead to hair loss. Multivitamins supplement these deficiencies. They prevent deficiencies and support the processes in your body. Therefore, it is beneficial to start with WLS Start Multivitamins even before surgery.

Need extra support for smooth muscles and muscle building? Take Pure Whey Protein as a supplement to protein rich food. Specifically for after a weight loss surgery. Easy to prepare as a protein shake or to process in a tasty dish. Available in 3 delicious flavors.

Muscle and nerve disorders can indicate a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is an important mineral that contributes to supple muscles and normal nervous system function. Athletes, people over 50 and people who want to become fitter often take extra magnesium. Do you suffer from muscle cramps or muscle mass loss? Then we recommend a magnesium supplement. A magnesium tablet contains the right dose of magnesium citrate as an extra addition to your diet and is easily absorbed by your body.

Some people get nauseous after taking a multivitamin. This may be because the stomach, esophagus or small intestine is sensitive. Or due to the high doses of vitamins and minerals in our multivitamins. It helps to take the multivitamin after you’ve eaten something. Thus, not on an empty stomach. In addition, FitForMe conducts research and adjusts products to reduce the risk of nausea. Do you continue to suffer from nausea? Try a chewable tablet. Only WLS Primo and WLS Maximum are not available as chewable vitamins.

Although you may not feel it, inside your body the multivitamin is working hard to keep you balanced. But, a multivitamin is not a super pill. It doesn’t give you superpowers. A multivitamin is your daily extra support to combat deficiencies. Deficiencies occur when you don’t get or absorb enough important nutrients. This is especially the case after a weight loss surgery. You only experience a shortage when you no longer take a multivitamin. Moreover, a deficiency can be difficult to correct. So don’t wait until you have symptoms. Take a multivitamin preventively to support your health every day.

Calcium is not in our multivitamin because it reduces the absorption of iron. Iron is another important nutrient that is in our multivitamin. That is why we developed Calcium Soft Chew. It contains calcium citrate, a form of calcium that your body absorbs best. And with the least chance of side effects.  For your daily dose of calcium, take at least 2 Calcium Soft Chews per day as a supplement to your diet. Easy to take and tasty thanks to its fine texture. Read more about the intake here.

As a result of weight loss surgery, you take in less calcium. Calcium is an important nutrient that helps maintain strong bones and teeth. You can’t live without it! The amount of calcium you need depends on your operation. We recommend that you take about 1500 to 2000 milligrams per day, spread over intakes of 500 milligrams at a time. This is when your body absorbs calcium best. To get enough calcium every day, we have developed Calcium Soft Chew. With at least 2 Calcium Soft Chews per day as a supplement to your diet, you are well off.

Multivitamins, like food and drinks, should be stored properly to keep them fresh. Keep them in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight. Preferably away from the microwave or oven. Are the supplements in a jar? Close the lid tightly after each use. Do not leave your capsules or tablets out of the blister packs for too long. This will affect the shelf life.
