Liquid Bariatric Vitamins--NHR EPIC Ultra All-IN-One Liquid Vitamins and BariCare Protein

Liquid vitamins and liquid minerals are optimum for bariatric surgery patients, or anyone who may have difficulty swallowing pills. Liquid vitamins, liquid minerals, and liquid medications are the first choice of bariatric surgeons for their gastric bypass patients. Bariatric surgery is a common term for the many forms of weight loss surgery, including roux-en-y surgery--also known as RNY, gastric bypass surgery, lap band surgery, etc. Pills take from 2 to 6 hours to begin working in the body, as they have to be broken down by stomach acid. Liquid vitamins avoid this digestion process, so they are working in your body in about 3 minutes. The EPIC ULTRA All-IN-One is a great form of a liquid vitamin and minerals for the bariatric patient, due to the reduced stomach size. Bariatric patients must take at least twice the RDA of normal vitamins, and EPIC ULTRA's formula exceeds these requirements several times in most cases (see supplement fact sheet link below). This vitamin is ideal for lap band patients, as you do NOT have to grind your larger vitamin supplements to get them past your stomach restriction from the lap band. It tastes good, like an apple cider, but it's also a greatly enhanced liquid vitamin formula, offering several additional health supplements. The greatest things about Epic Ultra All-IN-One is HOW GREAT IT MAKES YOU FEEL, and it's low price of $19.95 per month (plus S & H), when set up on an auto-ship basis, OR it can be purchased on an individual order basis from the new link further down this page. Shipment is available to the US and all of it's territories. International shipments not available at this time.

Photo above is a side by side comparison of me prior to my RNY surgery of May 10, 2006, and May, 2006, 2 years after surgery.

My name is Dave Chambers and I am a bariatric surgery patient, having the surgery done on May 10, 2006. I had the Roux-en-Y bariatric procedure done, which tends to be the most successful. One of the biggest problems facing bariatric patients is the ability to consume all the vitamins and nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body, while loosing weight. My bariatric surgeon has reviewed the supplemental fact sheet on the EPIC ULTRA Liquid Vitamins and found it to be more than satisfactory for use with bariatric patients. Instead of taking several vitamins pills twice daily (besides other supplements), only a one ounce serving of the EPIC ULTRA Liquid Vitamins is needed each day. TIP: place one capful of vitamins in your mouth, hold under tongue for 30 seconds, and then swallow. This allows you to absorb part of the B12 liquid vitamin component sublingually, and then the rest after ingestion. The only other supplement bariatric surgery patients need is some additional calcium citrate, which I take later in the day. You should NEVER take your calcium citrate supplement with vitamins, as the iron content of the vitamin will be adversely affected by the calcium . Wait two hours between taking vitamins and calcium citrate supplement. Here are my lab results from 2 years past surgery, taking the liquid vitamin levels in NRH Epic liquid vitamins for 7 months:

Cholesterol, 135 (normal <200), Triglyceride 86 (normal <150), HDL (good) 60 (normal >/=40), LDL (bad) 58 (normal <100), cholesterol/HDL 2.3 (normal <5.0).

Albumin was 4.6, normal 3.3 to 4.8----Calcium 9.7, normal 8.5 to 10.5----Creatinine 1.3, normal 0.7 to 1.3, Electrolytes (Sodium was 142, normal 135-145, Potassium was 4.8, normal 3.5 to 5.0, Chloride was 103, normal 101-111, CO2 was 29.5, normal 21-31),--- Glucose (fasting) was 84, normal 70-99, Iron was 107, normal 60-170---- Total Iron Binding Capacity was 290, normal 250-420----Iron Sat was 37%, normal 20-50%----Ferritin was 416.8, normal 30-400----Folate was 13.95, normal >5.38----Parathyroid was 57, normal 15-65----Thiamine (B1) was 192, normal 87-280----B12 was 584, normal 200-910----Vitamin D was 33 (25 for D3 and 8 for D2), normal total is 30-100.

Lab results are the only way to monitor how any vitamin is being absorbed by your body. Recent studies have shown that over half of the US population suffers from low or seriously low levels of Vitamin D. Based upon this study, I've opted to augment my daily vitamins with additional 5000 IU capsules. Every blood test I had taken for the first 18 months post op had levels of D that ran from 8 to 14, and this was after 50,000 IU prescription D caplets. It was only after I began taking liquid vitamins that my levels of D were within normal limits. So liquid vitamins do get absorbed better, as you can see from my experience with levels of D vitamins.

This web site speaks about how well EPIC ULTA liquid vitamins work for bariatric patients. But EPIC ULTRA is actually a liquid vitamin that anyone can take. Any adult or child can use EPIC ULTRA. Children under 12 are advised to take 1/2 the adult dose. One nice thing about this product is that it has a naturally sweet taste. Those parents who have troubles getting their children to take daily vitamins have a resolution to that problem. When is the last time you saw you child refuse a sweet food item--like candy, etc?? Now, children can take vitamins, and actually enjoy the taste, and not complain about swallowing vitamins.

EPIC ULTRA vitamins are made with all natural products, NO artificial flavors, no wheat or soy derived ingredients, and no added sugars. Each ounce (daily serving) has 17 calories, 3 grams of carbs (from fruit juices), 3 grams of sugar (from fruit juices), 80+ vitamins and minerals, and 2 grams of protein. How many vitamins have you ever heard of that contain protein?? Also included are a 250mg energy blend, and a 1000mg blend of trace minerals.

1668% RDA of B12, 1000% of B2 & B2, 500% of B6, 1250 % of C, 250% of E, PLUS 4000mg of a fruit/veggie blend to assure a minimum ORAC score of 3000+, etc. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, a rating on how effective that antioxidant works. Higher ORAC numbers are desired for maximum results in eliminating free radicals that do harm to your body.

Please examine the food chart to compare some nutrients levels of FDA and NHR liquid vitamins

EPIC ULTRA liquid vitamins have a high ORAC score of 3000 or more, which means it is a very good antioxidant, removing many more free radicals that can damage your body than virtually any other supplement.

Feel free to email me at dave@liquidbariatricvitamins.com , or call me at 951-846-9179 to answer any questions you may have on the NHR liquid vitamins.

If you currently are taking or selling Eniva's VIBE liquid vitamins, I'd urge you to examine the chart on this link HERE. This chart shows the difference between EPIC ULTRA and Vibe, clearly showing that EPIC ULTRA has superior levels of almost every vitamin, as well 27 times the amount of trace minerals. Why spent $59.95 a month for VIBE, when you can get superior supplemental levels from for $19.95 a months from EPIC ULTRA ??

If you are currently taking GBG, please examine this chart HERE. GBG has changed their formulation twice in the past several months, and NHR has overall superior supplemental levels. The chart clearly indicates that EPIC ULTRA has 200 times more trace minerals than GBG, and almost 11 times the fruit and veggie blend than GBG, from which the antioxidants are derived.

Sorry for the temporary problem in ordering. For optimum savings, order multiple bottles of Epic Ultra to save on shipment costs. One bottle costs $10 for shipping and handling, and orders of 2 or more bottles are a flat rate of $15 shipping and handling. This means that your net cost is as little as $22.95 per bottle if 5 bottles are ordered at one time. 5 bottles at $19.95 per bottle + $15 shipping = $114.75. Divide by the 5 bottles purchased = $22.95 per bottle. This is a savings of about $7 per bottle compared to purchasing one bottle at a time. I have many clients who purchase this way, and when they open the 5th bottle, they just place another order of 5 bottles. Since wt loss surgery means you'll need daily vitamins forever, saving $7 a month x 12 months/year = saving $84 a year for the rest of your life.

Just a drop of this:

in here

keeps the odors "under water". One drop of this liquid forms a film on the water in the bowl, sealing the odors below the water level. This product works extremely well in a home with one bath or for someone who works in a small office. We all know that most RNY post ops have issues with odorous stools after surgery, and to use on of my fellow weight loss group members sayings, "this is one of the world's best secret". No more embarrassing moments, when you were the last to use the restroom, and a fellow workmate or a family member says, "boy, someone died in here". One bottle is purse sized, handles 200 flushes, and is priced at $8, and comes with a small plastic case. Can be ordered with other products listed here, with no additional shipping fees due to very light weight.
