UPC: 755571930361
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bite is a sugar-free soft chew formulated 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 recommended for bariatric patients due to reduced stomach acid requirements. The product includes 500 IU of vitamin D3 to support calcium absorption, aligning with clinical guidelines referenced by the manufacturer, such as ASMBS recommendations for daily calcium intake.
This product is available in 11 flavor options, including Peanut Butter Chocolate, Caramel, and Tropical Orange, offering variety to suit taste preferences. The manufacturer highlights that calcium citrate may be more easily absorbed than some other forms, based on cited research. It is gluten-free and kosher, with each chew containing sugar alcohols and sucralose as sweeteners. Practical details include a 90-count package and a caution about potential laxative effects with excessive consumption.
