BN Chocolate Calcium Balls - 3 Jars
After Weight Loss Surgery (WLS), getting enough calcium is a real challenge.
Before surgery, we absorb about 40% of calcium. After WLS, calcium absorption is heavily reduced to as low as 9%. Even an "on point" diet with dairy won't be enough; that’s where daily calcium supplementation of BN Chocolate is needed to make up the shortfall.
It's a delicious way to get the calcium you need every day. BN Chocolate is formulated to support your increased needs after surgery. The ASMBS Nutritional Guidelines for WLS indicate a calcium citrate supplement is required daily for Bariatric patients. Calcium citrate is more easily absorbed than other forms of calcium.
Calcium is a critical nutrient as over 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth. It plays a vital role in promoting healthy teeth and bones, muscle contraction, fat digestion, protein metabolism and a healthy nervous system.
