In the past, hospitals and clinics recommended the vitamins and minerals they thought were necessary after bariatric surgery but without specific guidance agreed upon by experts.
This has changed over the years with more research and experience providing evidence for which vitamins and minerals need supplementation and in what amounts.
As a way to put these years of experience and research into practice, the foremost experts in bariatric surgery from the Nordic countries came together to develop a set of vitamin and mineral supplementation guidelines for their patients, and in 2017, the Nordic Guidelines were published.
Most hospitals and clinics in Sweden today follow these guidelines, and Baricol, of course, follows them as well!
