Frequently Asked Questions
Our Qualified Nutritionists are here to help you make the best choice when it comes to you and your health.
Calcium citrate is the best absorb because after WLS, the production of stomach acid is limited, and affects absorption of minerals including calcium and iron. Larger daily intakes are required for life after surgery.
The ASMBS Weight Loss Surgery Nutritional Guidelines indicate WLS patients require between 1300-2500mg daily to maintain healthy bones, teeth and cardiovascular function. Calcium is also required for fat loss.
Due to the restriction in the amount of food after Bariatric Surgery, and the interruption to the absorption of calcium, meeting your needs from food alone is no longer possible. Daily supplementation is required as part of the commitment to maintaining health after WLS.
Long-term calcium deficiency can lead to osteopenia, osteoporosis, dental caries, and is a key player in maintaining regular heart beat.
Yes. When calcium is taken at a dose higher than 400mg - it should be separated from iron supplements or iron rich foods. Anytime over 60 minutes.
