Melody2006 1 Posted July 18, 2008 You can get the Citrical Creamy Bites it's calcium citrate so it's the kind of Calcium at the body can easily absorb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gina s. 0 Posted July 18, 2008 I use a pill grinder, grind it up, and put it in a drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaneljack5 0 Posted July 18, 2008 I was told by my dietitian to dissolve the 2 pills in a very small amount of Water or crystal light and drink the liquid. You do not have to consume the sediment. This is just a suggestion..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showboatgirl 0 Posted July 19, 2008 I use chewable caramel or chocolate Calcium. I think it is Viactive. You can get it at Walmart. Another great calcium product is Adora Calcium. You can get it in milk chocolate or dark chocolate. I ordered it online and it is expensive--but really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 19, 2008 Citrical also makes Calcium pills that are called petites. They are much smaller. Citrical is calcium citrate rather than calcium carbonate. Calcium citrate is better because your body absorbs it better. Viative chews are calcium carbonate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImGonnaLose 0 Posted July 19, 2008 You can also get liquid calcium citrate. I've got a bottle I bought at Whole Foods, but I haven't actually tried it yet. I've been eating so much pudding and yogurt that I think I'm ok for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted July 21, 2008 I can swallow the petites much better. You just have to take more of them to get the same dose, so I take them morning AND evening. My surgeon ONLY recommends calcium citrate, and I couldn't find that in a chewable.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
