    Description

    Calcium is a major mineral essential for proper nutrition. The body could not survive without it. Calcium promotes bone strength, but also helps to maintain the health of other vital systems in the body, including the heart, muscles, and nerves.

     

    Calcium Citrate was chosen over Calcium Carbonate as studies have shown that the Citrate form has higher bioavailability than the Carbonate with bariatric surgery patients. Vitamin D3 and Magnesium are added to increase the absorption and metabolism of Calcium so the body can use these vitamins more efficiently.

     

    Calcium, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium work together to support:

    • Healthy bones and teeth
    • Reduced risk of Osteoporosis
    • Muscle function and transmission
    • Regulation of the heartbeat and supporting blood pressure

     

    DIRECTIONS: Take two caplets up to three times daily or as directed by your doctor/dietitian. Take at least two hours apart from Iron to maximize absorption of both supplements. Divided doses are recommended with no more than 500mg being consumed at once.

    How many servings should you take? Always follow your doctor/dietitians recommendation. Values below are based on the ASMBS guidelines and surgery types.  

      • No weight loss surgery: 1 to 2 servings daily (based on RDV of 1000-1500mg Calcium depending on age)
      • Gastric Sleeve surgery: 2 to 3  servings daily = 900 to 1350mg Calcium
      • Gastric Band surgery: 2 to 3 servings daily = 900 to 1350mg Calcium
      • Gastric Bypass surgery: 2 to 4 servings daily = 900 to 1800mg Calcium
      • Biliopancreatic Diversion/Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) surgery: 4 to 5 servings daily = 1800 to 2250mg Calcium

    Too large to swallow

    I honestly can’t tell you if they’re affective because they are so big that I don’t like taking them daily. I should but they are huge.

    Tablets are too big for me.

    Great price and quality supplement. My only complaint is the size of the caplet is pretty big. I tried to cut it in half and it crumbled into tiny pieces.

    I'd rather take a pill than chew a gummy!

    Taking with milk helps them go down

    I received these for free in my large order in November 2023. I only just started taking them because I ran out of my UpcalD powdered calcium/vitD (I LOVED THAT PRODUCT!) but it’s now been discontinued. These pills are huge and get stuck in my throat or go down really slowly when taking with water. However, when taking with my milk based protein shake or a cup of regular milk, the pills go down very easily with no problem. I will purchase these once my freebie bottle runs out because they are much more economical than the other calcium products on this website.
