After the surgery and due to the nature of it, the body's ability to absorb decreases, this goes to food as much as it goes for the nutrients and vitamins that come with it.

IS THERE CALCIUM CITRATE IN THIS MULTIVITAMIN?
No. Our bariatric multivitamin does not contain calcium citrate for a few reasons: 1) Our multivitamin contains iron, and calcium can inhibit iron absorption. You must take them separately by at least 2 hours. 2) Calcium needs to be taken in 2-3 doses throughout the day as your body can only absorb 500-600 mg at a time. Therefore, a once-a-day capsule cannot provide the amount you require. 3) 1000-1500 mg of calcium would drastically increase the size of the capsule. We like the ease and convenience of a once-a-day multivitamin that allows you to change up the calcium supplement you choose. We do offer Calcium citrate separately and you can find them here.
