Nutrients that make up the Chewable Calcium Citrates are: Calcium Citrate- Repeatedly shown to be the most bio-available form of calcium. Calcium Citrate does not require an acidic environment for absorption, so it is an excellent choice after weight loss surgery. This form of calcium may protect against kidney stones, so it is safe to recommend to "at-risk" patients. Magnesium- Magnesium is important for bone health and supports calcium absorption. Magnesium is also an important nutrient for cardiovascular health. Vitamin D3- This natural form of vitamin D is readily converted to the active form needed for bone health. Vitamin D is needed both for calcium absorption and utilization. It is especially important to DS/BPD patients who have malabsorption of fat soluble vitamins. Vitamin K- Vitamin K plays an important role in bone health. Vitamin K is needed to synthesize osteocalcin, a major protein in bone. Low levels are associated with bone loss in men and women.
