Bariatric Vitamin Price Comparison

Use a simple calculation

First divide usable units in the bottle by the units prescribed per day. Then divide the delivered bottle price by those usable days. Multiply the daily cost by 30 for a consistent 30-day comparison. Add separate calcium, B12, iron, vitamin D, or other required products.

For example, a hypothetical $24 bottle with 60 capsules taken two per day costs $0.80 per day, or $24 per 30 days, before additions. A hypothetical $18 bottle with 60 chews taken four per day costs $1.20 per day, or $36 per 30 days. These are illustrations, not current market prices.

Include costs that are easy to miss

Shipping, taxes, subscription changes, refrigeration, after-opening discard periods, and unused intolerable products can affect value. A low-cost formula that needs several additional nutrients may not be the least expensive complete regimen. FDA label basics — U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Do not lower the serving to make a bottle last longer without clinical guidance. That reduces every nutrient in the product simultaneously.

Compare only suitable regimens

Have the dietitian identify which options meet the plan before choosing by price. If affordability is difficult, ask about a simpler equivalent routine rather than silently skipping doses. Nutritional suitability, tolerability, and consistent supply belong in the value calculation. See buying guide, subscriptions, and complete versus partial supplements.
