FAQs
Why is Calcium Citrate important after bariatric surgery?
Calcium Citrate is essential for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis. After bariatric surgery, the ability to absorb calcium can be reduced, making it crucial to supplement the diet with calcium to meet daily needs.
How much calcium should a bariatric patient take after bariatric surgery?
It is generally recommended that bariatric patients take 1,200 to 1,500 mg of calcium citrate daily. Calcium citrate is preferred over other forms of calcium because it is better absorbed in a low-acid environment, which is common after bariatric surgery.

Can bariatric patients take Barimelts® Calcium Citrate with other supplements?
Calcium can interfere with the absorption of certain medications and other supplements, such as iron. Taking calcium supplements at a different time of day than these products is recommended. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
How should a bariatric patient take Barimelts® Calcium Citrate for best results?
