Bariatric surgery reduces the capacity of the stomach, which means it cannot hold as much food. Furthermore, depending on the kind of surgery, the body will absorb vitamins and minerals less well. As a result, a calcium deficiency may develop. In the event of long-term calcium deficiency, the body takes calcium from the bones. Calcium supplementation is therefore recommended to support bone formation and maintain strong bones.
Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate is a calcium supplement according to the guidelines*
- 500 mg calcium, vitamin D3 (500 IU) and 15 μg vitamin K2 per chewing tablet
- Based on easily absorbable calcium citrate
- Unlike calcium carbonate, calcium citrate does not require an acidic environment in the stomach to be absorbed.
- With vitamin D3, which promotes calcium absorption in the gut. The improved calcium absorption supports bone remodelling.
- Vitamin K2 helps calcium absorption in the bones and contributes to maintaining strong bones.
Calcium + vitamin D available in citrus or cherry flavours.
Intake tips: 2-3 chewing tablets daily.
- The recommendation* after a bariatric intervention is 1200-1500 mg calcium / day (2-3 chewables/day).
- For optimal absorption you should take the tablets throughout the day.
- To ensure optimal absorption of all minerals, do not take the calcium chewing tablets along with multivitamins or Bariatrics Advantage Magnesium & Vitamin D. E.g. mornings, afternoons between meals and evenings before going to sleep.

Calcium is important for bone formation and for maintaining strong bones and teeth. In the event of long-term calcium deficiency, the body takes calcium from the bones. This can lead to bone decalcification and/or fractures. It can also result in a confused state, forgetfulness, muscle cramps and muscle weakness.

Yes, important quantities of Calcium, taken at the same moment with Magnesium, can affect the absorption of Magnesium. Therefore, do not take the Calcium soft chews along with Magnesium. For example take the Magnesium tablets during the meals and the Calcium soft chews between the meals. To guarantee an optimal absorption of both minerals it is better to let at least 2 hours between the two intakes of the different minerals.
