Here u go its caltrate

Those aren't calcium citrate & are high in sugar. I can't find a chewable calcium citrate locally - only from the Internet. I did find a liquid ca citrate called Wellesse but it is blended with ca phosphate so need to ask my doc about it Friday to see if RNY patients can absorb it. It's sugar free too. The Internet ca citrate chewables are so expensive.

Bariatric Advantage has a chewable Iron and calcium citrate. Both very tasty but pricey. I take the iron but alternate the Calcium with citracle chewables. I know they are carbonate but money is a bit right right now. Oh and my surgeon is fine with gummies.< /p>

You would think they were citrate because all their other products are but they're not citrate either & are 7 gms of sugar. I brought all these products up with my Nut before surgery & she said we really need citrate & to read the labels of everything for sugars including supplements. Not sure why it's so hard to find a local chewable calcium citrate. I avoid the gummies due to the sugar content & not the right Calcium. Just be sure you don't take calcium and Iron together - they negate each other when taken together..

The ones I have are citrate. You are thinkg of a different brand. Caltrate is carbonate. Citrical is citrate. I know. Yes they have a but of sugar, but I also use the Wellesse, but citrical gummues are citrate

And everyones doctor tells them different. I wascat a point where it was take these or nothing because the wellesse was making me gag. My.calcium and vit d levels are great and I even do the carbonate taffy sometimes too. As long as you are actively taking something.

Per websites both brands of tummies are ca triphosphate. Everyone's body is different so I'm glad your doing great on what you're taking. You're right something is better than nothing but citrate is better absorbed than other formulas

It doesnt make the others unabsorbable. My doc approves them. Different strokes for different folks. My bottle says Calcium citrate. Maybe they have changed the formula since I bought mine or maybe there is more than one kind on the market.

I bought my one a day Multivitamin on line at procarehealth 10 bucks a bottle.

The Calcium I got at Vitamin shop store. I have to take 3 calcium a day spread out.

Here u go its caltrate

Those aren't calcium citrate though! I had bought a whole box of viactiv chews and then got home and realized that there is a difference. Our RNY bodies cannot absorb the regular Calcium, so we must have calcium citrate instead.

Those are the calcium chews I found too! They had them at the Vitamin Shoppe. They carry that whole line of bariatric Vitamins in their store.

Everything I'm finding online says citrical is from tri Calcium phosphate, not citrate. Bummer. I was getting excited.

Thanks for all the info ladies....I'll be calling my doc office today to ask them because like the previous poster said if I can't take them then I really can't take anything...
