Getting enough calcium is a challenge for Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) patients, but our BN Cal can make it easier for you to continue your day.
BN Cal is a tasty chocolate vanilla flavour chewable tablet containing calcium and vitamin D, which are involved in the development and maintenance of bones and are essential for cardiovascular health.
Adequate dietary calcium is required to maximise bone health. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Calcium may help prevent osteoporosis when dietary intake is inadequate.
Calcium plays a role in various enzyme systems responsible for muscle contraction, fat digestion, and protein metabolism assists in synthesising neurotransmitter and nerve conduction.
Calcium Citrate is superior to Calcium Carbonate and is best for absorption after WLS.
Contains lactose, milk products, gluten, sugar alcohols, sugars, sucralose and sulfites.
Each BN Cal contains:
| Calcium citrate tetrahydrate Equiv. Calcium | 948mg 200 mg |
| Colecalciferol (Vitamin D3 166.671U) | 4.1mcg |
Adults chew 2-5 BN Cal daily with meals or as directed by your healthcare professional.
I love my new and improved mental state. Learning that it doesn't matter what others think about Bariatric Surgery; I did this for me, not them.- Patti
Tasty chewable calcium tablet to support healthy calcium levels Post-Weight Loss Surgery.
Our Qualified Nutritionists are here to help you make the best choice when it comes to you and your health.
Calcium citrate is the best absorb because after WLS, the production of stomach acid is limited, and affects absorption of minerals including calcium and iron. Larger daily intakes are required for life after surgery.
The ASMBS Weight Loss Surgery Nutritional Guidelines indicate WLS patients require between 1300-2500mg daily to maintain healthy bones, teeth and cardiovascular function. Calcium is also required for fat loss.
Due to the restriction in the amount of food after Bariatric Surgery, and the interruption to the absorption of calcium, meeting your needs from food alone is no longer possible. Daily supplementation is required as part of the commitment to maintaining health after WLS.
Long-term calcium deficiency can lead to osteopenia, osteoporosis, dental caries, and is a key player in maintaining regular heart beat.
Yes. When calcium is taken at a dose higher than 400mg - it should be separated from iron supplements or iron rich foods. Anytime over 60 minutes.
Our Bariatric vitamins and supplements cater for all Weight Loss Surgeries.
