Bariatric Fusion Introduces Digestive Support: First-to-Category Complete Digestive Solution for Postoperative Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Patients*

Digestive Support is the first and only enzyme plus probiotic solution specifically formulated to support patients who experience digestive discomfort following metabolic and bariatric surgery*

ELMA, N.Y., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bariatric Fusion, a globally recognized nutraceutical brand offering a safe, affordable, great-tasting line of quality bariatric supplements to support patient compliance, today announced the launch of Digestive Support, the first complete digestive solution in the bariatric market featuring digestive enzymes plus probiotics. This product was formulated to support postoperative metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients who experience digestive discomfort.* 

According to The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), sleeve gastrectomy and roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most popular MBS procedures, accounting for nearly 80% of all surgical weight loss procedures.[i] Food Sensitivities and digestive discomfort, such as bloating, occasional gas and indigestion are common among post operative patients. More than 90% of sleeve gastrectomy patients report upper gastrointestinal symptoms.[ii] Chronic GI symptoms are also common among RYGB patients.[iii]

Taken with a meal, this unique enzyme and probiotic combination product is formulated to help relieve occasional gas, bloating, indigestion, and irregularity more effectively than most stand-alone enzyme products.* The product provides 110 mg of Biocore^® Optimum Complete, a Digestive Enzyme Blend to promote breakdown of all types of food over a broad pH range. The probiotic strain Bacillus subtilis DE111^®, which is backed by more than 30 research studies, is also included.*

"We formulated this product to offer a critically needed comprehensive digestive solution for post-operative metabolic and bariatric surgery patients," said John P. Troup, Ph.D., Chief Science and Education Officer, Bariatric Fusion, "We also understand that food sensitivities are common following metabolic and weight loss surgeries, therefore formulating a clean product profile for the most sensitive patients was of utmost importance."
