Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium Citrate, Wild Cherry, 90 Tablets
UPC: 755571942784
Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium Citrate is a chewable tablet formulated for bariatric patients, providing calcium in a citrate form with added nutrients to support absorption. Each tablet contains 500 mg of calcium from calcium citrate, a form noted for its bioavailability and ability to be taken without food, which can be advantageous for individuals with reduced stomach acid after surgery. It also includes 12.5 mcg (500 IU) of vitamin D3, along with vitamin K and magnesium, as the manufacturer states these are intended to aid calcium utilization.
This product is designed to align with clinical guidelines for post-bariatric surgery nutrition, referencing ASMBS recommendations for daily calcium intake. The chewable format and inclusion of flavors like Wild Cherry, Chocolate, and Cinnamon aim to improve palatability and compliance. It is gluten-free and uses sweeteners such as xylitol and sucralose, with a suggested use of one tablet three times daily to achieve a total of 1,500 mg calcium per day.
