Calcium

[Tilly Kaye 20]

What form/brand of Calcium are you taking? I know we need to take calcium citrate, but I'm trying to figure out if there is something better for me. I'm currently taking Citrical petites but I need to take 2 pills 3 times a day - which is hard to do. I'm just not getting them in. I saw liquid calcium citrate online. Does anyone take that? How do you get all of you calcium in?

I'm taking Calcium Magnesium Citrate with VitaminD3 made by Solgar. I purchased it at the Vitamin Shoppe. I take 15ml liquid daily but I'm not sure if I should be taking more. I have my appt tomorrow I'm going to ask them. I'll be honest - I'm not loving having something else to drink. I think I'd rather chews.

Yes, I use liquid Calcium by Wellesse. It doesn't taste that bad either. Still doesn't help me get it in 3 times a day though. I pretty much only take it twice daily.

Great question! I take 3 different kinds, depending on what I am doing for the day. I use Wellesse liquid, UpCal D powder, and Calcet Creamy Bites. The wellesse liquid doesn't taste that bad, the powder I mix in with my protien shakes or sugar free pudding, and the Creamy Bites when I am on the go. Using a combination of the three, I never struggle to get my Calcium in.

Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate for me as well - surgeon's orders. I take LifeTime that I purchase from Amazon. Comes in several flavors - both the Natural Lemon Custard and strawberry are really quite tasty. I take it once a day in the evening and my blood work has been spot on for two years.
