We are pleased to announce that FitForMe is joining forces with Baricol Bariatrics.
The collaboration is a valuable step toward supporting more patients to maintain healthy routines post-surgery and preventing medical complications in the long term. Research1 shows that >75% of all patients develop one or more deficiencies in one year after a Sleeve Gastrectomy.
We are active in more than 29 countries conducting medical research and developing personalized supplements to decrease deficiencies after bariatric surgery. Joining forces with Baricol allows us to reach new regions and deliver innovative solutions to improve medical results in the long term.
Simon Hamer, CEO FitForMe: “Baricol is the leading brand in the Scandinavian region and has developed the innovative digital patient application BariBuddy. This is a solution for the long-term challenge of adherence to daily supplementation and healthy routines post-surgery. We aim to make such innovations available on a global scale”.
Haris Fazlic, CEO Baricol: “FitForMe is a leading example in bariatric supplements in Europe and has always been an inspiration and a source of knowledge for Baricol. We’ve proudly reviewed and learned from the extensive research done by FitForMe. We are looking forward to jointly meeting the challenge of supplementation with our shared base in science and patient products”.
Our journey to provide more patients and healthcare professionals with scientifically proven solutions and a worldwide platform has just begun. We will continue to seek out more ways to increase our impact and support as many patients and healthcare professionals as possible.
At this moment, the acquisition will not have a direct impact on the products and services offered by FitForMe and Baricol Bariatrics. All products and services can be advised and applied in practice as known. In the event of any changes, we will inform you promptly.

About FitForMe
Every person is unique. Wouldn’t it be strange if we all took the same multivitamin? Based on this vision, founders Sjoerd and Simon developed a personal, tailor-made multivitamin in 2005. Originally, the idea was to make healthy people even healthier until they became aware of a patient group in need of help: people with weight loss surgery.
After years of testing, research and improvement, in collaboration with hospitals and medical professionals, we know that our multivitamins work. Our supplements will help you feel reborn and stay in balance before your operation and many years after. We are here for you for the rest of your life. FitForMe enables you to get the most out of yourself every day.
About Baricol
The founders of Baricol also wanted to create a product customized for patients after bariatric surgery. They saw that both the supplements prescribed as well as the after care provided were not focused on patient needs and decided to change this. The first version of Baricol Complete came to life in 2014 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. This planted the seed for Baricol Bariatrics AB which was founded in January 2015.
Their product, Baricol Complete, is a customized bariatric supplement, based on the Nordic guidelines and with their innovative BariBuddy app they educate and remind patients to maintain healthy routines post-surgery.
