Is there a difference between the calcium soft chews and the calcium citrate peach-mango chewable tablets and can they be taken alternately?
The calcium soft chews have a different texture than the chewable tablet and are more pleasant to chew. They are individually wrapped and are easy on the go.

Why do I need to eat at least 60 g of proteins a day?
Proteins are the building blocks of our bodies. Proteins are necessary to maintain muscle mass and to promote recovery after surgery. They also help ensure that weight loss is only at the expense of fatty tissue. Major sources of proteins are meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, etc. Ask your doctor for advice.
Why does Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. contain intrinsic factor?
Vitamin B12 deficiency often occurs after bariatric surgery. On the one hand, this is because the patient eats less meat (which is the major source of vitamin B12). On the other hand, it is because the protein 'intrinsic factor', which is produced in the stomach and is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12, is absent in bariatric patients. The addition of intrinsic factor (IF) to Bariatric Advantage® Vitamin B12 I.F. ensures the optimal absorption of vitamin B12.
Should the Bariatric Advantage® Multi and the Bariatric Advantage® Calcium Citrate chewable tablets be swallowed whole?
No, the tablets should be chewed into small pieces before being swallowed.
