Cheapest calcium citrate that works



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all the help on here I found a Multivitamin that is okay with my team and is reasonably priced (ProCare). Now I need to find a cheaper calcium citrate. It can be the chews or a pill form. Suggestions please.

Hi ShoppGirl!

I found these on Amazon because I wanted to find cheap calcium citrate. The chews are so expensive, and I'm not crazy about the ones from the brand I tried. Maybe others are better.

I am only a few week out from sleeve surgery, so I haven't had bloodwork to see if they work for me.

The other thing is you will likely need 2 twice a day (based on my recommended dose). They are on the big side.

You do get a large amount for about $15.

Check this one out.


Walmart Equate calcium citrate + D3 Petites Dietary Supplement, 200 count is $6.98 a bottle or 3.5 cents each/ $13.96 x 2. This one comes in behind the 21st Century Vitamins Calcium Citrate Plus D3 Maximum Tablets, 400 Count, in price but it might make a good second choice if the other is out of stock or the price goes up. Don't forget to subcribe and save on Amazon to get the lowest price.

The only difference is that one is 400 mg and the century 21 is 600 something mg. I guess you could take three a day though. Good to know it’s in brick and mortar store if shipment is delayed or anything.

Wow. Can’t believe how much cheaper than what I am getting now (bariatric advantage chews). I really hope my clinic Okays these.

I just get generic ones at Walgreens or CVS. Most of the Calcium tabs they have are calcium carbonate, but they do have calcium citrate, too, if you look for it.

Update: Okay so I just learned with the ProCare there is. 4.99 shipping fee but if you spend $75 it’s waived. They also have free samples you can request on their site.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
