What brand of calcium citrate do you take?

[adagray 1]

This is the brand I ordered from drugstore.com prior to surgery: calcium citrate, chewable wafers Online at drugstore.com (Twinlab)

I bought three bottles at one time because I'm supposed to take 2 of these 2x per day to get the dose my surgeon wants. So, each bottle only lasts 15 days.

I'm just about to start my third bottle so figured I should restock soon. Not sure if I want to buy more of these or try some other brand of Calcium citrate. I hated these at first (big and gritty), but I've gotten used to them.

I wonder if there is something I would like better, though. For those of you who take calcium citrate, please respond and let me know what brand you take and if you like it. And, if you've tried others, what you think.

Thanks!

Mmmm, that Lemon kind sounds good.

I got Bariatric Advantage brand lozenges and think they're only just tolerable. I tried a mint flavor at my doc's office, tasted like a giant mint Tums. So I order cinnamon, wish I'd ordered Cherry. I only bought one bottle though, just until I'm allowed to swallow pills again.

My nutritionist just old me about the Calcet lemon chews. I was thinking about trying them. I just hope they aren't too sweet.

They're not very sweet - kinda like a marshmellowy lemon...with a thicker shell. I think they're a good balance of everything, and a great treat to start my day!

I use OS Cal 500 + D, chewable Tablets, Light Lemon Chiffon. I take two each day...am and pm. They don't taste too bad!

I do find them too sweet. I think I've lost some of my sweet tooth since the band and seem to be sensitive to overly sweet stuff. Some of the protien bars are like that for me too.

I have some chewable Calcium, one I've gotten from GNC which are huge and taste like giant sweet tarts. I also have the cinnamon ones that I got from Bariatric Eating as well as the ones that taste like tootsie rolls.

Thanks for all your replies. The Calcet ones sound so yummy, but they contain dairy and I am lactose intolerant. I have to take a lactaid chewable every time I eat milk products or my tummy isnot happy. I'm still getting used to doing that. I only figured out about 3 months ago about my lactose intolerance and its hard to remember to take the lactaid every time I need to as it is.

So, I searched around online to try to find something else. I decided to order some Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate Chews. They come in lemon flavor and chocolate. I read a review from someone that said the lemon flavor tastes like a starburst candy. So, if that is really the case, then it should be much better than the big chalky ones I am taking from TwinLab.

I will report back once I get them in the mail and have a chance to try them.
