- The study aimed to compare how well calcium citrate and calcium carbonate are absorbed after different weight loss surgeries: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass.
- It involved 150 participants, focusing on measuring calcium levels in blood and urine, as well as parathyroid hormone levels, over a controlled testing period.
- Results showed that calcium citrate resulted in lower parathyroid hormone levels and better calcium absorption than calcium carbonate, indicating it may be the more effective supplement post-surgery.
