Question:
Does anyone take Shaklee vitamins Post-Op?
I currently take Shaklee's Vita-Lea w/Iron. Does anyone else take these? — Ashley S. (posted on July 16, 2003)

I take the Vita-Lea w/Iron, the separate iron supplement, Vita E, B complex
and C. I don't use their calcium b/c it has both the carbonate and citrate
and I am not sure of the ratio. I love their products, their quick
dissolve/absorption time, and that they are considered a whole food with
nothing artificial. At my 18 mo post-op appt, my surgeon said that
whatever I was doing to keep doing it because my labs were fantastic.

You should alway's check with your nutritionist before switching vitamins.
The latest studies out show that 37% of us will become vitamin deficient
within the first two years. That is probably was so many doctors are
moving away from recommending Flinstones or childrens vitamins. We have
special needs because some vitamins are usually absorbed in a portion of
the digestive tract that is now bypassed. I take Bariatric Lifestyle
Complete Nutritional System vitamins. They were created especially for
post ops and only cost around $9 a month. Here is a link for more info

Hi, I am a Shaklee distributor. For right now I am not taking Vita Lea
because I have chewables in the house. I am going to be starting on the
liquid form of it real soon. They do have a chewable calcium and you can
crush the b-complex if you take that also. Their pill form of Vita Lea with
iron can be crushed also and it will not degrade the contents.

Hi there. I am 3 years post-op. I take Shaklee products because they are
all natural and completely bio-available. They are not filled with tars,
coals, and artificial colors that most store-bought products are. I take
Vita Lea with iron, B-Complex, Soy Protein Powder, Iron Plus C, Opti-Flora
Complex witch aids in colon health, and Super Cal Mag Plus. The Super Cal
Mag Plus is a combination of citrate and carbonate, however it also has
Vitamin D to stimulate calcium absorption, magnesium, Vitamin K and other
bone-health minerals including manganese, copper, zinc, and boron. I have
had no deficiencies. I believe in these products so much that I became a
distributor myself!! For more information and ordering, visit my website
at www.shaklee.net/nutritionsupplements.
