BariBursts help you avoid deficiencies

Calcium deficiencies are sneaky – they don’t develop overnight and it’s nearly impossible to know when it’s occurring. Patients with a calcium deficiency do not look any different from the outside and blood work can actually look normal for calcium even if a deficiency is present.

 

It may come as a surprise, but…

All post-op bariatric patients are at an increased risk for developing calcium deficiencies for several reasons:

Reasons for a calcium deficiency after bariatric surgery

This creates a danger zone for bariatric patients…

The danger zone after bariatric surgery

It’s common for bariatric patients to believe they are getting all of the nutrients they need from their multivitamin, but in reality, most multivitamins have little to no calcium that can count towards their daily requirements.

 

Calcium and Blood work

The other problem is that your blood work won’t necessarily show a calcium deficiency. In a calcium-deficient state, your body will steal calcium from your bones in order to meet its needs. This means that your blood-calcium levels will look good, but your bones have less calcium which leads to more problems…

 

When dietary calcium levels are too low for too long, complications set in like:

What can happen when you don't get enough calcium after bariatric surgery

Once these complications begin they are not always reversible, so preventing them from happening in the first place should be top priority.

 

How much calcium should you be getting?

The good news is calcium deficiencies are easy to prevent with proper supplementation. The ASMBS recommends 1,500mg of calcium per day for gastric bypass and vertical sleeve patients.

 

BariBursts have 100% Calcium Citrate

 

Here’s a vitamin industry secret: not all vitamins are created equal.

We are talking about specific vitamins like Vitamin D, Vitamin A and Calcium…etc.

Each of these vitamins and minerals actually has multiple “sources” or “forms.” You can think of the source as the “type” of Vitamin D, or the “type” of Vitamin A.

 

Here’s an example:

Vitamin D is most commonly available in the forms Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is much more bioavailable and is better absorbed, so that’s what we put in our supplements

Calcium is commonly found in 2 types as well: Calcium Carbonate and Calcium Citrate.

 

For bariatric patients, calcium citrate is the preferred form.

Here’s why…

Reason 1 for Calcium Citrate

As we covered above it’s virtually impossible for bariatric patients to get enough calcium through diet alone.

Reason 2 for Calcium Citrate

After bariatric surgery, the low stomach acid environment dramatically affects your body’s ability to absorb calcium.

Reason 3 for Calcium Citrate

Patients who have some form of bowel bypass (Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch, SADI-S) because the part of the bowel that is responsible for most calcium absorption can’t do its job since it’s been bypassed.

 

Look at point #2 – the low stomach acid environment dramatically affects your body’s ability to absorb calcium

Calcium Citrate does not require the presence of nearly as much stomach acid as Calcium Carbonate, so as a bariatric patient, you are able to absorb Calcium Citrate better.

 

Why would anyone put Calcium Carbonate in Bariatric Supplements?

Good question – there are 2 main reasons why a company would put calcium carbonate in its supplements:

1. It’s smaller – you can fit way more elemental calcium in the Carbonate form into a pill/chewable so it’s great for managing pill size or number of pills required

2. It’s cheaper – pretty self-explanatory, right?

 

But it’s a bad idea for bariatric patients…

 

That’s why we use 100% calcium citrate in our products, including BariBursts

In 3 tasty, individually wrapped chews you get :
