Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium Citrate, Chocolate, 270 Tablets
UPC: 755571942739
Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium Citrate is a soft chew supplement formulated for bariatric patients, providing calcium in a form designed for easier absorption. It delivers 500 mg of calcium from calcium citrate, a form that does not require stomach acid for absorption and can be taken with or without food, along with 500 IU of vitamin D3 to support calcium uptake. The manufacturer notes this aligns with ASMBS guidelines for daily calcium intake in bariatric care, citing peer-reviewed sources.
This product is distinguished by its focus on patient convenience and palatability, available in 11 flavors including Chocolate, Caramel, and Peanut Butter Chocolate, with each chew individually wrapped. The manufacturer reports that in a survey of nearly 300 customers, over 95% preferred its taste to other calcium supplements they had tried. It is gluten-free and uses sweeteners like xylitol and sucralose. The 270-tablet package provides multiple servings in a chewable form aimed at supporting compliance.
