Calcium Citrate Chewable by Building Block Vitamins - Calcium Supplement
I made a mistake and bought the pill form of this. I have an extremely difficult time getting 6 of these down a day with all of the other supplements and medications I have to take. I am going to be buying a liquid or chewable form next month. I would not recomment the pill form of this to anyone!
(indicates that they have used the product)Similar to iron, calcium deficiencies occur with gastric bypass patients because the procedure bypasses that portion of the gut where iron is most readily absorbed, and because the stomach pouch produces little or no acid necessary for optimal calcium absorption. Calcium supplements are, therefore, required of the gastric bypass patient, and is most effective in the form of CALCIUM CITRATE -not calcium carbonate or phosphate or coral calcium. For optimal absorption, the calcium citrate may also contain vitamin D, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and magnesium.
Calcium deficiencies cause bone loss, irregularities in muscle, heart, or nerve functions, defects in certain hormones, and weight gain.
Building Blocks Chewable Calcium Citrate with vitamin D for enhanced absorption. Daily serving size contains 1000 mg of elemental calcium in ONLY 4 Tablets per day!
