What makes FitForMe more effective (and more expensive) than alternative brands?

Our multivitamins are made for your specific surgery, in the right dosage, and backed by FitForMe’s own clinical studies. We review our formulas as soon as new research becomes available, and that’s how we keep our quality guarantee high: we manufacture in the EU to strict standards, every batch goes through quality control, and our products are tested to stay effective until their best-before date. We also involve patients in product development, so our products fit real life after surgery. These research costs are reflected in the price, but they make sure you’re taking a supplement that is proven to be effective.

We also think it’s important that you can always come to us with your questions. That’s why we employ specialised nutritionists and offer free advice.

These are the biggest differences we see compared with other WLS multivitamins:

• Intake: with FitForMe, you take 1 capsule a day. Other brands often ask for 2, which makes the routine harder to stick to.
• Surgery-specific: we have a separate formula for each type of surgery, instead of one general bariatric multivitamin.
  
  • For example, the amount of iron you need differs greatly between a Gastric Bypass and a Gastric Sleeve.
  • Other brands often dose vitamin B12 much higher, without published research to support the extra amount.
  • The form of vitamin A matters too: a retinyl source is absorbed better than beta-carotene.
• Scientific evidence: other brands claim to be based on “the latest scientific insights”, but don’t publish any research on their own products.
• Aftercare: other brands often only offer customer service through their webshop, without a dietitian or guidance programme.
• Format: other brands often don’t offer a soft chew at all, and their hard chew is usually only suitable after a Gastric Bypass, not after a Sleeve or OAGB.
