After Weight Loss Surgery (WLS), getting enough calcium is a real challenge.
Before surgery, we absorb about 40% of calcium. After WLS, calcium absorption is heavily reduced to as low as 9%.
BN Chocolate with Calcium Citrate. The ASMBS Nutritional Guidelines for WLS indicate a calcium citrate supplement is required daily for Bariatric patients. Calcium citrate is more easily absorbed than other forms of calcium.
Calcium is a critical nutrient as over 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth. It plays a vital role in promoting healthy teeth and bones, muscle contraction, fat digestion, protein metabolism and a healthy nervous system.
