Topical vitamin patch
Dietary Supplement: PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium Patch Dietary Supplement: PatchMD Multivitamin Patch Dietary Supplement: PatchMD B12 Energy Plus Patch
PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium Patch
Wear daily: PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium patch. The patch can be worn immediately after surgery in order to prevent deficiencies, and we hope to show that this supplementation method can also promote lean muscle mass retention. In addition, due to the malabsorptive properties of bariatric surgery, we hope to show that patients will be more likely to completely absorb the micronutrient via transdermal application than through oral intake.
PatchMD Multivitamin Patch
Wear daily: PatchMD Multivitamin patch. The patch can be worn immediately after surgery in order to prevent deficiencies, and we hope to show that this supplementation method can also promote lean muscle mass retention. In addition, due to the malabsorptive properties of bariatric surgery, we hope to show that patients will be more likely to completely absorb the micronutrient via transdermal application than through oral intake.
PatchMD B12 Energy Plus Patch
Wear daily: PatchMD B12 Energy Plus patch. The patch can be worn immediately after surgery in order to prevent deficiencies, and we hope to show that this supplementation method can also promote lean muscle mass retention. In addition, due to the malabsorptive properties of bariatric surgery, we hope to show that patients will be more likely to completely absorb the micronutrient via transdermal application than through oral intake.
Oral vitamins
Dietary Supplement: Chewable Multivitamin with Iron Dietary Supplement: Chewable Calcium Dietary Supplement: Quick Dissolve B12
Chewable Multivitamin with Iron
Take daily: Chewable Multivitamin with Iron. The chewable vitamins, vitamin chew, or vitamin rapid/quick-melts can be consumed after surgery when cleared by the surgeon.
Chewable Calcium
Take daily: Chewable Calcium. The chewable vitamins, vitamin chew, or vitamin rapid/quick-melts can be consumed after surgery when cleared by the surgeon.
Quick Dissolve B12
Take daily: Quick Dissolve B12. The chewable vitamins, vitamin chew, or vitamin rapid/quick-melts can be consumed after surgery when cleared by the surgeon.
