Which supplement is recommended to take with Orlistat?

  1. Vitamin C

  2. Multivitamin with A, D, E, K and beta-carotene

  3. Calcium

  4. Iron

The correct answer is: Multivitamin with A, D, E, K and beta-carotene

Orlistat is a medication that can lead to a decrease in the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals from the diet. This can lead to potential nutrient deficiencies, which is why it is recommended to take a multivitamin with A, D, E, K and beta-carotene while using Orlistat. Vitamin C, calcium, and iron are not necessarily recommended to take with Orlistat, as they do not have the same impact on absorption as the vitamins mentioned in option B.
