3in1wOL 17 Posted August 8, 2014 Had my surgery on Tuesday, home yesterday. Doing remarkably well, thanks be to God. I had decided (why I can't recall) to go with powdered calcium citrate rather than chew-ables-----BIG mistake--it would be fine if I could drink 1/2 cup of Water in one mouthful but not good with just little sips. Wondering what chew-able Calcium supplement people are using and liking. I need to either order them on line or get out and get them because I won't be able to continue with the powder. Thanks!

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted August 8, 2014 Disclaimer - I have not used these myself but everyone I know who has used them has said they love them. chocolate Peanut Butter chewy bites from Bariatric Advantage: http://www.amazon.com/Bariatric-Advantage-Calcium-Citrate-Chocolate/dp/B00GAMSKUE If those don't appeal to you, their lemon and caramel chews also get high marks in general from what I have seen. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PattyMac 5 Posted August 8, 2014 I got the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews - Lemon. Remind me of a starburst. Very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialNewMe 38 Posted August 8, 2014 I use the Bariatric Advantage caramel chewy bites and really like them. Almost like a treat three times a day. I have heard the new lemon ones are really good and taste like a Starburst. I tried the chocolate Peanut Butter ones and didn't care for them. They had a funny smell.

2boysmommy 20 Posted August 9, 2014 I got the Kirkland sugar-free chocolate calcium chews from costco and they're not bad at all. Not too fake-tasting or sweet. I actually enjoy them as a little treat. And the price is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted August 9, 2014 Mix your powder in a Protein Shake or yogurt or cottage cheese. I was taking capsules and I just opened them and sprinkled them in my Protein shake or Greek yogurt. They had no taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karimagarcia099 1 Posted October 10, 2014 I hate chewables. Have tried chewable from brands like BA and Caltrate but they all seemed to make me nauseous. I had no idea why they were causing nausea and upon research I found that these chewables contained harmful fillers like Ethyl/Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose, Silicon/Titanium Dioxide etc that caused the symptoms. I immediately changed to capsules from Vita4Life upon my nuts recommendation. I take 1200mg Calcium in a dosage of 4 capsules and have had no complaints. You can get them off Amazon or their website.
