All surgeries; vitamin/mineral deficiencies; geeky stuff

[wannabeminime]

Here is a study i just came across. I contains lots of info for all ops regarding recommendations for nutrient/vitamin supplementation and the REASONS why we should supplement with a good vitamin regimen (it's a huge medical read) and it has some of the most vital information that is never discussed... by some surgeons, nutritionist, and/or support group leaders, there's discussion on protein consumption/absorption it's chalked full of geeky stuff that is really helpful.It's research based and medically sound advice : http://s3.amazonaws.com/publicASMBS/GuidelinesStatements/Guidelines/bgs_final.pdf

Read and inwardly digest!

It's pretty old research now, 2008 - interesting that they suggest 200% of RDA's on the multi vits for RYN's, will have to ask Mr P about this when I see him. x

I've bookmarked this for later - unfortunately I cannot download PDF's on my laptop (one of the many things this laptop "says no" to).

Will have to wait until I am back at work and can open and print PDF's easily, but thanks for the link.
