Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bite, Sugar-Free, Lemon, 90 Soft Chews
UPC: 755571946935
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bite is a sugar-free soft chew designed for bariatric patients, providing calcium and vitamin D in a convenient, individually wrapped format. It delivers 500 mg of calcium from calcium citrate, a form noted for its bioavailability and ability to be taken with or without food, which the manufacturer states is particularly suitable for individuals with reduced stomach acid after surgery. The product includes 500 IU of vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption.
This formulation aligns with guidelines from the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), which recommend divided daily calcium doses, often around 1,200-1,500 mg for most bariatric patients. The manufacturer cites research indicating calcium citrate is better absorbed than calcium carbonate in this context. Available in Lemon and 10 other flavors like Caramel and Chocolate, each bag contains 90 chews and is certified gluten-free and kosher.
