Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bite, Sugar-Free, Caramel, 60 Soft Chews
UPC: 851132002833
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites are a sugar-free soft chew formulated specifically for bariatric patients, providing calcium in a convenient, individually wrapped format. Each piece delivers 250 mg of calcium from calcium citrate, a form noted for its bioavailability and ability to be taken with or without food, which is often recommended for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery. It also includes 125 IU of vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption.
According to the manufacturer, calcium citrate may be more easily absorbed by patients with reduced stomach acids, as it does not require stomach acids for absorption. The product is designed to help meet daily calcium needs, with the manufacturer referencing ASMBS guidelines that suggest 1,200-1,500 mg per day for most bariatric procedures. This Caramel variant is one of several flavors available, including Chocolate, Raspberry, and Lemon. It is certified gluten-free and kosher, and the soft chews are sweetened with maltitol and sucralose.
