Bariatric Advantage has come out with a new form of calcium to help increase supplement compliance among bariatric patients. We recommend 1500 mg of Calcium Citrate per day for Gastric Bypass patients and 1200 mg for Lap Band patients.
Calcium Crystals are a unique form of calcium that dissolves readily in water and most other liquids leaving minimal taste. This form, Calcium Lactate-Gluconate, has a bioavailability comparable to Calcium Citrate, but is neutral pH and has very high solubility in water making it perfect for a drink mix. In addition, each serving of Calcium Crystal contains a full 600 mg of Calcium and 500 IU of vitamin D3 to support bone health. You can add this delicious product to plain water or another drink of your choice as an easy and effective way to meet your daily needs for calcium and vitamin D. Calcium Crystals are available in Tubs or convenient individual serving Packets in unflavored and Lemon-Lime.
Keep your eye out on the website
http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/ for future products. Bariatric Advantage has bought the rights to manufacture the discontinued line of Citracal™ “Creamy Bites” in all three flavors. They hope to have the product available on-line within the next three to four months.
We also encourage you to check out our e-store at
http://www.coloradobariatric.com/ . We have made some adjustments to the Gastric Bypass Kits. All kits will now include chewable iron and we replaced the sublingual vitamin B-12 with B-50 complex. This way you can be ensured your body is getting all the B-vitamins in one supplement. If you have any questions about vitamin or mineral supplements please feel free to call the Dietitian at 303-839-6370.
