My doctor said calcium citrate is the best. We can absorb it better. I do have great news though, I get my calcium citrate in a chewy bite and they are to die for! I love the chocolate (it is like a caramel texture) and the raspberry is great (like a Now N' Later candy). They are Bariatric Advantage brand and I buy them off of Amazon. You should contact them and ask for a sample. You can get your calcium citrate in a chew, it is great.
