Calcium Citrate that tastes like dessert – Wow!
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites - Lemon. 60ct.
60 individually wrapped chews. For those required to take a lot of calcium
After weight loss surgery, many people are required to take a lot of calcium. At Bariatric Advantage, we recognize that providing different flavors and forms of this important nutrient helps assure compliance and makes taking large amounts of calcium much easier. Our Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites deliver 250 mg of elemental calcium as calcium citrate in a delicious chew. They also contain 125 IU of vitamin D3 for healthy absorption. These chews are sugar-free as well, so you don’t have to worry about getting extra carbs while you get the calcium you need. Each chew is individually wrapped so you can take them with you wherever you go.
Can I take calcium with my multivitamin?
You can take calcium together with your multivitamin. If, however, you rely on your multivitamin for iron, you may want to try to separate them by a couple of hours.  Do you make a calcium tablet or capsule?
We do not currently make a calcium citrate capsule. This is because it would take 6 to 8 capsules to make an average dose of calcium. Will calcium give me kidney stones?
Doctors used to tell people with kidney stones to avoid calcium. Recent studies have shown that a diet with normal amounts of calcium is probably best. Over a period of five years, scientists studied people with kidney stones and found that those who had normal calcium levels in their diet were less likely to form new stones than those who were on a low-calcium diet. If you have a history of kidney stones and are concerned about calcium, you should discuss it with your doctor. How are calcium citrate and carbonate different?
Calcium citrate and calcium carbonate are both calcium, but are bound to different substances. Calcium carbonate, the form most commonly found in dietary supplements, requires stomach acid to be optimally digested and absorbed. It is therefore not the best choice for those who have had gastric bypass or people who regularly use medication to suppress stomach acid. Calcium citrate can be digested even by those with little or no stomach acid. WARNING: Keep this and all drugs our of children's reach. In case of accidental overdose, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center immediately.
