Who are the Bariatric Pal Calcium Chewy Candies with Probiotics for? The calcium chewy candies with probiotics were primarily developed for people who have undergone stomach reduction surgery to cover the additional need for calcium. After a gastric sleeve surgery, your body can absorb less calcium. However, the human body needs a sufficient supply of calcium, as calcium contributes, among other things, to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth and to normal muscle function. The calcium chewy candies contain calcium citrate. This form of calcium can be easily absorbed by the body. In addition, vitamin D3 (800 IU, “International Units”) has been added to calcium chewy candies because it increases the calcium absorption of bones and also contributes to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. In addition, the chewy candies contain 250 million CFUs (“colony-forming units”) of probiotics and can thus contribute to a balanced intestinal flora, normal digestion and a stronger immune system. The calcium chewy candies are fat- and sugar-free and contain no artificial sweeteners. Important: ELAN’s WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) supplements (Compass, Believe, Supreme) do not contain calcium because calcium inhibits the absorption of iron. What are the consequences of a surgical stomach reduction? As a result of stomach reduction surgery, you can eat less and your body can absorb fewer nutrients. The surgery is the beginning of a new life and a step towards a healthier lifestyle. Without additional supplements, your body won’t get enough nutrients to keep you fit. The calcium chews ensure that you get the necessary amount of calcium in the right dosage every day. What is the recommended dosage and the right time to take calcium chewy candies with probiotics? Take 1 to 4 calcium chews per day, preferably between meals or in the evening. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Excessive consumption can have a laxative effect. The amount of calcium you need depends on your surgery. Based on the internationally valid guidelines of the scientific societies (ASMBS and IFSO), we recommend a daily intake of at least 1,200 – 1,500 mg. It is important that you consume up to 500 mg of calcium at a time, so that you also give your body the opportunity and time to absorb the absorbed calcium. For optimal advice after your operation, we recommend that you contact your doctor or therapist. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. If you have any questions, contact your doctor or therapist.
Important: If you’re also using ELAN’s iron-containing Compass, Believe, or Supreme products, take them at a different time than your calcium chews, as calcium inhibits the absorption of iron. You should wait at least 2 hours between taking the iron-rich Compass, Believe or Supreme products and the calcium chews so that your body has enough time to properly absorb the iron contained in the Compass, Believe or Supreme products. How should the calcium chewy candies with probiotics be stored? Store below 25°C in a dry place. Please note that this product is sensitive to heat and may melt if exposed to too much heat. Keep out of reach and sight of small children. This dietary supplement is not suitable for children under 10 years of age. What ingredients are contained in the Calcium Chewy Candies with Probiotics?
