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 form. 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 may be advantageous for individuals with reduced stomach acid after surgery. The product includes 500 IU of vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption, and is available in multiple flavors, including Strawberry as well as options like Caramel, Chocolate, and Tropical Orange.
According to the manufacturer, this formulation aligns with guidelines from the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), which recommend divided daily calcium doses for bariatric patients. The chews are gluten-free and kosher, and the manufacturer cites internal survey data indicating high patient preference for taste and ease of use. Each package contains 90 servings.
