Dr. V's Bariatric Bundle

The Four Nutrients Your Altered Metabolism Needs Most

After bariatric surgery or while on GLP-1 therapy, your body absorbs far less than it used to — and new clinical research shows the challenge is greater than most patients realize. A landmark study presented at ENDO 2026 (the Endocrine Society's annual meeting) found that adults taking GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide significantly decreased their physical activity after starting medication — with daily steps falling from 5,047 to 4,487 and moderate-to-vigorous activity dropping from 28 to 22 minutes per day. The study's lead researcher concluded: "Exercise cannot be optional for people taking these medications."

Less movement means accelerated muscle loss on top of already-reduced nutrient absorption. Generic vitamins weren't designed for this. Dr. V's Bariatric Bundle was.

Formulated over two decades of bariatric patient blood work analysis, this four-product stack delivers the micronutrients most depleted in post-surgical and GLP-1 patients — in the bioavailable forms your altered metabolism can actually absorb and use.

What's Inside

Bariatric Daily Multivitamin (Dr. V's) — Your metabolic foundation. Therapeutic-dose thiamine (75 mg vs. the standard 1.5 mg) plus a full B-complex for energy production, neurological protection, and immune function.

Vitamin D3 5,000 IU — Reduced fat absorption and lower activity levels both suppress Vitamin D status. D3 at 5,000 IU supports bone density and muscle function — essential when GLP-1-driven muscle loss is already a documented risk.

Bariatric Iron Bis-Glycinate with Vitamin C & B12 — Iron carries oxygen to muscles and brain. Iron bis-glycinate bypasses GI irritation with 40–50% higher absorption than ferrous sulfate. Paired with Vitamin C for uptake and B12 for neurological support.

Chewable B12 (Methylcobalamin 1,000 mcg) — Methylcobalamin delivers 60–80% bioavailability vs. 15–25% for synthetic cyanocobalamin. Protects neurological function, mental clarity, and red blood cell production.

Why Form Matters as Much as Dose

• Methylcobalamin (B12): 60–80% bioavailable vs. 15–25% for cyanocobalamin
• Iron bis-glycinate: 50–70% bioavailable vs. 10–20% for ferrous sulfate, with minimal GI side effects
• Vitamin D3: Superior to D2 in fat-malabsorption conditions
• Thiamine at 75 mg: 50× the standard RDA — because bariatric absorption demands therapeutic levels

Who This Bundle Is For

• Post-bariatric surgery patients (gastric bypass, sleeve, or duodenal switch)
• GLP-1 users (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide) — especially those whose activity has decreased since starting medication
• Anyone experiencing fatigue, brain fog, muscle weakness, or low B12/iron/D3 on bloodwork
• Patients whose care team has recommended specialized bariatric supplementation
