Calcium Citrate  from Bariatric Advantage

Recommended After Weight Loss Surgery

Calcium is one of the most important nutrients that we get from a normal healthy diet, and it is just as important for those who have undergone bariatric surgery. Calcium helps keep bones strong and healthy and reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis. After gastric bypass surgery, nutrients are not absorbed in the same way or as effectively as normal. Because the area of the digestive tract where nutrients are absorbed is minimized, calcium is not taken up and delivered to the body in the quality that is needed for bone health. Individuals are also limited in the types of food they can eat. Dairy foods that are high in calcium can no longer be consumed in large enough quantities to feed calcium to their bodies, reducing the amount of calcium in their diets significantly. Calcium Citrate is easier to absorb than other forms of calcium. It is the preferred form for bariatric patients’ special nutritional needs.

Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D chewable from Bariatric Advantage contains everything that the bariatric patient needs after surgery to keep bones strong and prevent osteoporosis. Just take one tablet (500 mgs) three times per day to get the recommended amount of calcium you need daily and the Vitamin D needed to aid in calcium absorption. Calcium Citrate also contains Magnesium, which aids in bone health and prevents constipation.

Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D are chewable bariatric vitamins that are also easier to ingest than other supplements that can cause irritation to the stomach. Taking them is easy, with four delicious flavors to choose from including chocolate, cherry, cinnamon and mint.
