Providing Encouragement & Products
to help you on your Bariatric journey
to help you on your Bariatric journey
It is with a heavy heart, we are announcing that after 25 years, Vitalady has closed its doors for good. Our last day was September 10th, 2022.
We want to thank all of the amazing customers and people that have supported Vitalady throughout the years. We wish you all the best for your continued success. In my parents' honor, I have not altered much about the website, and don't have any intention of doing so for some time. Thank You
About Us at Vitalady, Inc. Our Company We are a small company dedicated to helping obesity surgery patients remain nutritionally balanced and healthy for life. We are not medical people, but wish to share the life experiences of ourselves and many others like us, who are gastric bypass patients. We have lost several hundred pounds and enjoy life to a much fuller extent than we ever thought possible a few years ago. The products we offer have been shown to help many patients who have had obesity surgery obtain and maintain their maximum weight loss, and to look and feel their best. Statistically, we have added many years to our lives by having had these procedures. We believe that by maintaining our weight loss and nutritional balance, we have avoided or reversed the need for repair surgeries, diabetes, lung problems and a host of other ailments. Vitalady (and Vitaguy) are here to offer the supplements we can use to become as strong and healthy as our new bodies can be.
As of 1/1/21 we will include orders shipping to Alaska and Hawaii at the flat rate of $5.95. Larger orders including heavy items (protein and some vitamins) may require additional cost, but you will be notified price to shipping.
As some items are becoming more difficult to source, due to the current epidemic, we are constantly adding new items which are similar to our normal stock. These items are of similar quality, form and dosage to ensure you are getting the correct nutrients needed to maintain a good regimen.
You may order a Vitalady Branded item but may receive a Bio-Tech or Food Science labeled product. Be assured these are the same exact pill. The only difference is the label on the bottle.
CALCIUM CITRATE ONLY in capsules is another item we are having trouble getting from Bio-Tech, soooo we have brought in Puritan's Pride Calcium Citrate Only 250mg capsules in 200 cap/btl
MORE ZINC PRODUCTS To help inventory shortfalls we are adding NOW FOODS Zinc Gluconate 50mg tablets in 100 and 250 count bottles. This gives us an additional source of Zinc during these Covid times.
ENCAPSULATED MULTI-VITAMINS Yes, Multi's in a capsule. Since we are having trouble getting Bio-Tech Vita-Min capsules we have brought in Solaray Once Daily High Energy Multi-Vita-Min in 120 and 180 capsule bottles.
FINALLY AT LONG LAST - 250 COUNT BOTTLES
We are happy to announce the arrival of Vitalady Tender Dry Vitamin A 25,000iu and Dry Vitamin D-3 50,000iu in money saving size 250 cap/btl size.
THEY ARE BACK
Single Serving Protein Sample Variety Packs. You can now try our most popular Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla Lovers Variety Packs at a discounted price.
ADEK's DISCOUNT
Do you take the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K? You find that the combined ADEK's products may not meet your needs. You need a higher dose of one element like D-3 but don't want to change the others what do you do?
If you buy them separately to the dose you need, might that make more sense?
If you buy at least one of each A, D, E, and K vitamins, we will apply a special ADEK's discount to your order. It amounts to about 7% saving on those products. It can't be done through our web site cart, but will be applied when we ship your order and refund the discount to your Credit Card or PayPal account.

AFTER THE LOSS OF OUR FOUNDER
It has been over a year since Michelle passed away. Note, we are continuing to operate in her honor. Please feel confident that I will continue to provide the products and encouragement to help you succeed.
With that said, know that I am looking for a like minded person (s) to purchase Vitalady, Inc. I am not seeking someone that just wants to make money but someone committed to Providing Encouragement, Products and Sharing Information to Help Those on a Bariatric Journey, succeed. If this is of interest email or call me.
As I continue to age, now in my 70's, I feel, you (the bariatric community) deserves a company that continues to grow and research more than I am able.
In the mean time, I will continue to operate and ship quality products to help you succeed in your journey.
NEW VITALADY BACKORDER POLICY 3/25/2020
New Vitalady Back Order Policy
Due to recent events, some of our suppliers are experiencing delayed product availability. At this time, we are not able to get a reliable schedule for shipping some of these items. Therefore, we will no longer accept orders for them and will identify them as “OUT OF STOCK” on our website. (NEW)
In the past, when we were backordering all items, customers became frustrated because we were sharing un-reliable information and failed to meet your expectations. Unfortunately, we have to charge for all products ordered on line and not available at the time you ordered them, a requirement of our credit card and PayPal processing procedure.
Going forward we will only accept orders for those items we know we can ship in a timely manner (usually within 7-10 days). We will ship what we have in stock and back order those items that we can reliably ship in 7-10 days, at our expense.
Yes, we will continue to notify you of items not immediately available (but within 7-10 days) and give you the option to cancel the back order and receive a refund. On the items we cannot give a firm shipping date, you will be notified, by email, when they are available and have you order them at that time, if you request it, by email to us at orders@vitalady.com.
Thank you for your understanding,
Don Curran
VITALADY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE PRODUCTION PROBLEMS AND PRODUCT AVALIBILITY
Since July 2019, one of our major suppliers, Bio-Tech Pharmacal, has experienced equipment and personnel problems in their production department
As we rely heavily on them for some of their branded and some Vitalady branded products, they may not be available for a while. We will try to keep you updated.
Our shopping cart collects payment at the time you order, including any back ordered items. You will receive a email notifying you of the shortage and an estimate of when it should be available.
If you are not able to wait, please let us know and we can cancel the back-order and make a refund to your credit card or PayPal account.
We understand how difficult and inconvenient this is, and appreciate your understanding.
FINALLY THEY ARE HERE 6/13/2019.
You have asked for larger bottles on some of our most popular items.
At long last we can offer Tender A 25,000iu and Tender D-3 50,000iu in 250 count bottles.
News today 11/1/18
We have added a pill size graph when looking up products you are considering. Keep in mind the pills shown are depicted on 1/4" square graph paper and are not actual size. So are they a "horse pill" something I can handle? No more guessing or getting something to large to swallow. Keep in mind capsules can be "opened and dumped"
We will be adding more items as we can.
The above picture was too cute not to use. LOL.
Find the Vitamin and Mineral necessary for managing your nutritional health. Don't confuse being thin and healthy. Have both,.
Find our suggested pre-packaged Monthly Vitamin Regimen for your specfic surgical weight loss procedure.
Find the right Protein Powder you. Select brand, flavor and size, including single serve samples.
We have documents and a few special items worth buying and looking at.
