Does anyone else not take calcium citrate?

Dont take it with Vitamins that contain Iron either... I was reading something on here the other day that said you should actually take at least 1700mgs of calcium citrate to start to reduce bone loss.... expensive! The Bariatric Advantage losenges are the cheapest ones I found ( in the giant bottle) Each chewable is 500 mgs... comes in 4 different flavors...

I have found a great liquid calcium citrate with Vitamin D at wal-mart of all places. its only like $7 and its tastes pretty good. I take 3 spoonfuls a day with a meal. I haven't had any trouble with it agreeing with me or anything. I love it and have been taking it for a while and havent gotten tired of it yet....i wondered about the Viactiv, and Tiffykins kinda validated what i already figured...loaded with sugar. Its a white and purple bottle, cant think of the name of it right now, but its worth checking out!

My surgeon in Baton Rouge didn't have us start taking Calcium until at least a month or six weeks out to allow for the tummy to heal. I take only two big mama pills a day (630 mg). But, I track my calcium intake closely to ensure I'm getting at least 1200 mg/day or more. I make sure I eat enough dairy products to get the calcium I need. Good Luck!

I don't have to take calcium citrate. I've have blood work done several times and my doctor has never told me I needed it. I don't take B12 either. I only had a Vitamin D definciency but I took pills for that for about 3 months and now I'm off of those too. I only take 2 Gummy Multivitamins everyday - and that has Calcium carbonate in it.
