According to the content on their website, the calcium is a blend, but does not include calcium citrate and no where do they reveal what KIND of protein is in it. Itr also has 17g of carbs per serving.
All in all, while perhaps high in vitamins and appropriate for pre-op diets, not a good choice post-op even if the protein is whey-based (which I doubt, because I think they would have mentioned it). Despite them claiming that they meet the ASMBS recommendations for BOTH pre- and post-op vitamin supplementation, the lack of calcium citrate tells me that this is not true.

Whey protein is listed as the first ingredient on the label.
According to their literature: Calcium phosphate tribasic is listed as the calcium source which provides 1500 mg per day in 2 packets as per ASMBS recommendations. I understand that this blend was developed because citrate tastes sour and does not work well with milk based products like milk and yogurt. The inulin has been proven to aid in Ca absorption, and the Fe is encapsulated to reduce interaction with Ca which further improves absorption of Ca.

From the Company literature:
There are 5 different sources of Ca the main one is Ca Phosphate Tribasic.
The product contains 5 grams of prebiotic fiber which are fermented in the gut and provide blood flow stimulation which affects the intestinal lining leading to a healthier gut and lower pH which can help to suppress harmful bacteria and in turn can reduce watery stools. Reduced constipation is due to reduction of fecal bulk, bowel frequency and gut motility are improved. The prebiotics help to increase Ca absorption. The inulin source has been proven in clinical studies to enhance Ca absorption into bones. Obese individuals who are at risk of suffering osterarthritis, osteoporosis and weak bones later in life and in S/P GB patients who may be at risk of bone problems due to Vit D and Ca deficiencies may benefit from the Ca and fiber.

Also, the link above is nothing but additional propaganda, with only a single line stating "increases calcium absorption" with no substantiation of that claim.
Beyond the fact that this is not a bioavailable calcium in an achlorhydriac system, I see no scientific evidence on the page listed "for more information" and would be more willing to base my thoughts on THAT rather than a page with propaganda written by an Italian company claiming scientific superiority without giving the proof of such.

If they are, indeed, using a high quality whey protein, why does their website not provide an ingredients list? (I still stand by my other objections even if it IS whey protein.)
