Each chew includes 500 IU of vitamin D3, which is required for calcium absorption.
This product is distinguished by its focus on the bariatric community, referencing ASMBS nutritional guidelines that recommend specific daily calcium intakes. The manufacturer highlights that calcium citrate does not require stomach acid for absorption, a detail relevant for post-surgical patients. It comes in multiple flavor options, including Raspberry as well as Chocolate, Caramel, and others, with the manufacturer noting high taste preference in customer surveys. Practical features include being gluten-free and kosher certified, with a serving size of one chew per use.
