Nutritional Deficiency - Malabsorption

After your weight loss surgery (WLS), permanent changes made by the procedure, as well as very small food portions affect your ability to maintain healthy levels of some key vitamins and minerals.
Your health professional will advise you need a WLS specific Multivitamin and Mineral supplement to prevent health problems related to nutritional deficiency. 

What’s the big deal? 

Left unmanaged, B12, Iron and Calcium deficiency, for example, may leave you with health problems like fatigue, poor memory, poor immunity and brittle bones.

Undergoing bariatric surgery is a fantastic tool to improve health, and it comes with a life long commitment to Multivitamins and regular blood testing.

Made in Australia, the BN Multi range are designed for you based on the research into more than 30,000 gastric sleeve and bypass patients and their specific needs after weight loss surgery. Trust your health is in good hands.

The following products when taken as directed, will be your insurance policy along the journey.
