Can we take Caltrate?

Is it ok to use Caltrate for our calcium supplement? Thanks in advance for your response.

Kisha,

Caltrate is calcium carbonate.......it is not the form of calcium that we want.  We need to take citrate for better absorption.  Carbonate calcium is more likely to cause kidney stones also.

My suggestion is Citrical with vitamin D and magnesium.  Also Bariatric Advantages has a chewable calcium tablet specifically for WLS patients.
