After bariatric surgery I found that the vitamins I needed to take made me feel ill and I found that I was only taking them half of the time. Optiscouce was recommended to me by a nurse during a support group meeting. What a wonderful product! Chewable, great tasting and no more feeling sick! They taste a little like orange sweet-tarts. My bloodwork has been comming back good. I'm happy. The doctor is happy. Great product!

 
The Only Vitamin You Need

Cons:
It sells out
Best Uses:
Everyday Use
Describe Yourself:
Busy Active, Runner, Wife and mommy
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use this product daily as a nutritional supplement. It is designed for people that have had the bariatric surgery and I find that it has all that I need to maintain healthy levels of vitamins and minerals. I could feel the tug of not having it for over a month while I waited for my shipment to come. I would reccommend this vitamin to anyone who has had the gastric by-pass or lap-band procedure. It is wonderful. The only thing at this time that is a drawback is that it is hard to come by since it is only sold at Walgreens. I reccommend that you purchase at least 3 months at a time so you have time to order when you are opening month 3 of your supply.

I love this product and I give it a high rating becasue it is the only vitamin supplement that I need.

I had weight loss surgery in Ypsilanti MI, on Monday, July 14, Dr. Schram. My Nutrionist approved these vitamins for my post bariatric daily use. They taste great, go down easily but you do have to take 2 in morning and 2 afternoon. I think they are a bit pricey but I will continue to use them as they gave me no problems during digestion and flavor was great.

Optisource is a great product. The taste is slightly citrus. I have been using it for 4 years now and my bloodwork comes out great evrytime. This is so much easier and tastier than other vitamins which I would have to take by the handsful to equal the value in Optisource. This was recommended by my doctor after gastric by-pass. It works!!

After surgery I stopped using vitamins and my bloodwork levels went way down. I started using optisource and my bloodwork improved immediately.
They taste great and go down easy. I tried the new Fusion and found they did not taste as good or dissolve as easy. I would recommend Optisource to any gastric bypass patient.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I thought Optisource was a good product until I read about Bariatric Fusion. It has more B12, calcium, Vit D, biotin and has chelated minerals that Optisource does not. BF also has two flavors-and both are great. It is a better product for less money and a free travel bottle!!! I found it on the internet- [@]

A MUST for post GBS

Best Uses:
Everyday Use
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've been using OptiSource for at least 3 years and am about 5-1/2 years since gastric bypass. The importance of proper vitamin nutrition can't be stressed enough for us. That portion of the intestine that we are now missing is what helps our bodies absorb iron, calcium, B12 and other goodies. All calcium is not equal in our bodies, and you shouldn't take calcium and iron together. Nevermind trying to keep up those B12 levels.

Optisource did all the work for us. Their formulation works so that we can take one type of vitamin without worrying about who, what, when and were. I started Optisource after showing low B12 and iron levels on various other regimens. Since starting I have not had ONE blood test showing my levels low. I love the way they taste and spread the 4 of them throughout the day as a sort of mini-treat.

There are similar vitamins out there - one brand is actually sold by the physician and staff performing the surgery! How self-serving can you get, folks?? Make sure you do your homework before taking any supplements or protein shakes.

I can't recommend these highly enough!!

This vitamin was recommended by a bariatric weight loss support group and I have not found a better tasting vitamin that offers the nutritional value found here. My medical doctor absolutely supports my continued use and since being diagnosed with cancer, my oncologist agrees that the continued use is a benefit. The orange taste is very pleasant. I look forward to taking my vitamins daily.

I like these because they replaced two products I used to take: my tablet multivite, and dry ADEKS. I was looking around because the water soluble chewable ADEKs were becoming hard to find. This product has both multivite and the water soluble ADEK. I also like that it is chewable, as tablets often give me indigestion. They are easy to take.

Glad to have them
By Bonnie RNVerified Reviewer from Vero Beach, Fl on 12/13/2007
Pros:
Goes Down Easy, Good Taste, Good Value, Nutritional, Provides A Boost
Best Uses:
Everyday Use, Quick Boost, Women
Describe Yourself:
Very active no routine
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Have not found any cons after nearly 3 years use post op. I keep sample bottles in purse, close at work, etc and refill as needed so they are available. The taste and texture better than the tums I took before surgery. I like the convenience and price of not buying all the individual supplements. As an RN, I give samples to patients who are not aware of them, samples to MD's who may recommend them to their patients. I just plain love 'em.

 
Does not have potassium
By CCVerified Reviewer from Royal Oak Mi on 12/4/2007

Cons:
Never on sale/expensive, Poor Value, Require 2 daily
Best Uses:
Everyday Use
Describe Yourself:
Weekend Warrior
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product is being used as a post bariatric surgery formula. Please note it has no potassium which is very important for the health. Make sure you are getting your required potassium so you do not end up in the hospital/or dead. (I did - could have died).

 
I have to have these, Gastric Bypass
By DebbieVerified Purchaser from Grand Island, New York 14072 on 11/27/2007
Pros:
Nutritional
Cons:
4 times a day, Poor Taste
Best Uses:
Everyday Use
Describe Yourself:
Rarely Workout
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These vitamins are required becaue I had gastric bypass surgery. If I had my choice I would rather have a once a day pill or something I could swallow and not chew. It is difficult to remember to take these four times a day. However, when I forget to take them, I get bruises and do not feel as well as I do when I take them as I should.

Great Post-WLS
By Stacy from Iowa City, IA on 11/23/2007
Pros:
A lot less pills, Goes Down Easy, Good Taste, Good Value, Nutritional
Best Uses:
Everyday Use, Women
Describe Yourself:
5x per week workout
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm not big on chewables, but between taking 12 pills a day (and try to swallow them all!) or chewing four of these plus a B1 pill, I'll happily take them.

I usually take one at breakfast, 2x at lunch, and then 1x at supper.

 
Best I've Found
By JayVerified Purchaser from Dallas, TX on 11/22/2007
Pros:
Good Taste
Cons:
None
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

You've got to take four per day which is a little bit of a pain. Would be nice if one chewable per day could provide the necessary supplements.
