Question by soccer_girl: What vitamins and nutrients should I give my dogs?
I have a very active dog and a sort of active dog. Somebody told me that I should give them vitamins and stuff, to keep their joints healthy and replenish what they are losing while running around. Could anybody tell me what these vitamins are, and how much to give daily?
Thanks!

Question by Shelby: What type of dietary supplements is a person prescribed after lap band surgery?
I am doing a research project about Lap Band surgery and I am having trouble finding supplements. My teacher said there are a lot that you need to take, but I’m really only finding multivitamin, calcium and iron supplements.

Best answer:

Answer by www.personal-nutrition-guide.com
Lap Band weight loss surgery is a restrictive type of weight loss surgery and not a malabsorptive type of surgery like gastric bypass surgery is. With gastric bypass, a greater number of supplements are therefore required.

(You may make a point in your project to differentiate between the types of weight loss surgeries.)

http://www.personal-nutrition-guide.com/types-of-weight-loss-surgery.html

However, patients CAN develop nutrient deficiencies with a restrictive procedure such as the gastric banding surgery due to a lower food intake.

Iron and B vitamin deficiencies are commonly reported in gastric band patients. Poor bone health is also a risk if they don’t get adequate amounts of calcium.

Gastric lap-band patients often have trouble eating beef, pork, lamb, and sometimes poultry after surgery. These foods all contain iron, as do enriched cereals, pastas and rice which are often not tolerated after surgery. The lost iron can easily be replaced IF NECESSARY, with properly formulated bariatric supplements.

I suggest multivitamin and calcium supplements regularly, but suggest iron supplements only if a patient’s tested blood work shows they need it since iron is a “pro-oxidant,” and undesirable in excess amounts!

• Glutamine and electrolytes
• Stack with N.O.-XPLODE 2.0 and NITRIX for muscle growth support

CELLMASS is BSN’s original post-training mass and recovery activator.

To facilitate this, CELLMASS delivers multiple cutting-edge creatine analogs that provide effective creatine transport and uptake, as well as glutamine, replenishing muscle stores to combat muscle breakdown and kick-start the growth and recovery process after a workout. Also included are key nutrients and electrolytes to refuel and replenish what the body loses during prolonged exercise. Taking CELLMASS promotes quicker and more efficient recovery, combats muscular fatigue and breakdown, and supports muscle growth, fullness and strength. These effects in turn lead to increased performance in the following day’s training session, as athletes are adequately recovered and better prepared to excel.
