After your weight loss surgery, you also consume less calcium, and your body truly cannot function without it! Calcium is an important nutrient that maintains strong bones and teeth and contributes to normal muscle function. Elan developed Calcium Vital tablets specifically for weight loss surgery patients to supplement your daily requirements. Calcium Vital contains calcium citrate, as this form of calcium is well absorbed by your body. Additionally, vitamin D3 has been added to the Calcium Vital tablets, as it increases calcium absorption in your bones. Calcium and vitamin D3 contribute to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Recommended daily dosage <\/strong>The amount of calcium you need depends on the type of gastric surgery you have undergone. Based on internationally recognized guidelines from leading scientific associations (ASMBS and IFSO), we advise a daily intake of 1,200 to 1,500 mg of calcium<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Because your body can only absorb a limited amount of calcium at a time, it is important to spread the intake throughout the day. We recommend using no more than 500 mg of calcium per intake. This gives your body the time and space to absorb the calcium properly.<\/p>\n

The image below shows the most common advice for daily calcium intake after various bariatric surgeries. This amount of calcium contributes to the maintenance of strong bones and helps reduce the risk of bone loss (osteoporosis).<\/p>\n
