Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 There are chewable calcium supplements from a company called USANA, they are supposedly very well absorbed, however you must buy directly from them or a sales representative. During the first stages we use TUMS as calcium supplement. Elsa Pinto, RD, MS,LND Calcium Supplement Hi all, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for calcium citrate sources other than citracal liquitabs after bariatric surgery?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks for the info. I understand that Calcium citrate is the preferred calcium supplement after 2 weeks post bariatric surgery, due to low gastric acid levels. Checked the web site for USANA, and it is calcium citrate. ($13.25 for 100 chewable tablets of 200 mg calcium, compared to Citracal which is ~ $9.00 for the same amount ). But I wonder if there's any study Calcium bicarb vs. calcium citrate for post gastric bypass surgery. Would you know? Naomi Wedel, M.S., R.D., C.D.E., C.D. naomi.wedel@... Dean West Clinic, 752 N.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Naomi, There are no great studies done with gastric bypass patients, but look to the research on the elderly and calcium supplementation. That research indicates that calcium citrate is best absorbed without the presence of acid in the stomach. Apparantly, the elderly also loose stomach acid and there is a lot more research on that population. Abbe Ft. Lauderdale, FL > > Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 IMO any lead is too much. Lead is common in calcium from oyster shells and dolomite (cow bones). S S CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT Posted by: " k.ozbo " k.ozbo@... k.ozbo Thu Jun 19, 2008 5:28 pm (PDT) On Kirkman's product list of calcium it states that these supplements have traces of lead up to 3ppmillon is this too little to worry about? Does all Calcium supplements contain lead? It seems to defeat the object when trying to chelate lead.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Does anyone have a good calcium supplement they use and like? My son cannot have dairy and is not getting enough from his diet or supplements. He cannot take pills so it has to be a powder or liquid or I can open up capsule and poor the powder into his juice. My DAN! Dr recommend the Might-a-mins calcium complete so I'm looking at that one but I thought I'd ask ere first! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
