Celebrate bariatric capsules. I've also taken Bariatric Advantage, Building Block Vitamins in the chewable form.

I take a tablespoon of Intramax (liquid vitamin) every morning. That stuff is the best, But certainly not cheap!

I take Green and Purple Pops, which are whole food supplements. The purple pops feature a variety of fruits, especially highly beneficial berries, digestive enzymes, metabolic enhancers, pre and probiotics, and antioxidants. The green pops contain a variety of veggies and herbs, along with the same enzymes, metabolic aids, and pre/probiotics. Love them! My hair and skin haven't been this healthy in years, despite eating berries and veggies while low carbing.

I'm on a very low-carb (25 g/day) ketogenic diet. After careful analysis at NutritionData, I believe I need the following nutrient supplements:

Daily supplements:
• 1 or 2 plain Centrum multivitamin/multimineral supplements (two if over 250 lb or 114 kg)
• Magnesium oxide 250 mg
• Calcium carbonate 500 mg elemental calcium (500 mg twice daily if over 250 lb or 114 kg)
• Extra vitamin D to reach total of 1,000–2,000 IU (each Centrum has 400 IU)
• Potassium gluconate 2,750 mg (450 mg elemental potassium) or Morton Salt Substitute (potassium chloride) ¼ tsp (1.2 g)
• If prone to constipation: sugar-free Metamucil powder 1–2 rounded tsp (5.8–11.6 g) in water
