Great find! Calcium Chews instead of huge Tablets

[Dave_NW 92]

I've been having issues trying to get my Calcium additives in daily, because the chewable tablets I have are SO unpleasant. I need to eat four of these daily to meet the dosage, and it's rare that I manage to chew all of them without feeling like I'm eating chalk.

So yesterday I was at costco, and found their Kirkland brand calcium chews in a bag of 180 count, on sale for about $10.00. That alone was reason enough to give them a try, but then to find they each have 500mg(?) of Calcium per chew, they're chocolate, and best of all: They taste like Tootsie Rolls! Three a day will fill the need, and they are much easier to eat than those chalky tablets I bought.

Awesome!!!

My Dr recomended Viactiv... and they were pretty pricey so I found some at Target under their own brand at a reasonable price.... they also taste like tootsie rolls.

Congrats on your find.!

I don't care for Viactiv, tastes too mediciney to me and I don't want to spare the calories, I think it was 20each? So I just eat 2 Tums after each meal. My NUT said this will work. Calc carbonate just needs to be taken with a meal, calc citrate is more easily digested and can be taken on empty stomach. I drink milk and eat yogurt and cheese every day, so my 4 Tums are just supplemental.

Ohhhh yeah, the chews are sooooo much better!!! I had started out choking down... errr I mean taking Tums daily then I had a breakdown of sorts cuz I thought I HAD to take the nasty things the rest of my life So I researched and found the chews (not listed in my bariatric guidelines, mind you)... but now I'm being told by my dietitian that with all the dairy I consume I may not have to take any additional supplement. They'll see my level with the next blood work...

I digress, but thanks Dave for bringing up that find, I know many others will appreciate it!

The CVS brand are good too, and less chewy than Tootsie Rolls, so easy to eat. Great price too, but I bet the Kirkland's beats it.
