• Calcium (from Calcium Citrate) 500mg, Calories 0,
• Vitamin K, D3 and Magnesium

Our Calcium Citrate Lozenges were designed to meet the calcium replacement needs of patients who have undergone weight loss surgery. Our Calcium Citrate is a lozenge that can be chewed or allowed to dissolve in the mouth. This allows patients to get the calcium they need without swallowing large or multiple pills, which can be challenging after weight loss surgery. Calcium citrate, the form most recommended after weight loss surgery is the sole calcium source in the product. The lozenges also provides Vitamin D, Vitamin K and a small amount of magnesium, all for the support of bone health. Lozenges are designed to be easy on the digestive system, to support maximum absorption and to foster compliance. For patients taking our iron, we suggest that they take calcium and iron at least two hours apart. Calcium absorption is impaired after weight loss surgery. Calcium citrate is highly soluble and is appropriate for individuals who lack adequate stomach acid. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Two of our calcium lozenges provide the adult Adequate Intake of Vitamin D or 600 IU. Vitamin D is critical for proper calcium absorption and utilization. Vitamin D deficiency is now known to be common in obesity as well as after all forms of weight loss surgery. Many chewable calcium products rely on candy bases as delivery systems. Our lozenges are sweetened with sucralose (Splenda®) and a minimal amount of low-glycemic, crystalline fructose (1 gram per tablet). Minimal sweetener use significantly minimizes the risk of dumping syndrome in patients taking our lozenges. Moreover, post-operative weight loss surgery patients are often on severely carbohydrate restricted diets, and really count those grams each day. Our formula meets the needs of these patients without compromising taste and quality. *To obtain the best flavor from the Calcium Citrate Lozenges, suck on like a breath mint prior to chewing.
