Yummy Calcium

[Getting There 198]

Discovered a great tasting Calcium at the Vitamin Shoppe. It's Healthy Indulgence. 500 mg calcium citrate/piece with 250 IU Vitamin D3. 35 calories each. They taste like a piece of chocolate that you'd willing eat. 60% cacao. This is my "dessert" after lunch and dinner

How much is it? I pay 9.99 for choc chews from Bariatric Advantage. It's on auto ship so it shows up on my doorstep once a month.

They are $16.99 for 30. A bit expensive. I tried the Bariatric Advantage chewables and couldn't stand them. Dry and chalky. Are the chews you get like a caramel texture or ??? I'd like to find something less expensive but want something that doesn't gag me:)

I use the calcium citrate gummies from Walmart for I think 10$ a bottle. They taste like candy to me and I don't mind them... although chocolate (at certain times of the month) sounds much better! lol

The Bariatric Advantage ones you want are the chews not the chewable tablets.

These are similar to a tootsie roll. they are delicious. I bet if you called them, they would send you a sample. I actually have 2 bags sent to me, cause they only provide 500 of Calcium and I need 1500 a day. So I have to take capsules for the last 500.

Like I sa_{id, If you put them on auto ship, it's 9.99 a month but that's only for 500 mg.}

I've never been able to find any type of calcium citrate at Walmart, other than tablets. I've seen Calcium carbonate in gummies, but not calcium citrate.

I have these too! They taste yummy like a piece of candy (perfect for TOM)!

I got samples of both Calnet Chewy's (lemon & chocolate) and Bariatric Advantage chewable (caramel & chocolate). Like them both. Haven't done a price comparison, but 1 Calcet is 500 mg and 1 Bariatric Advantage is only 250 mg so you'll have to take twice as many of the Bariatric Advantage.

My surgeon recommends 1,500 mg Calcium daily. I started tracking the calcium from the food and my multi-Vitamin. Most days I only take 1,000 supplemental calcium.

To convert RDA % of calcium, remove the % and add a "0." 25% of RDA is equal to 250 mg. This works with calcium because the RDA based on a 2000 calorie diet is 1000 mg. It won't work the same for other nutrients.

I'd like to get the Calcet choc chews but their shipping is ridiculous. I've been trying to find someone else that sells them where I could get a flat shipping rate for everything I order. vitacost.com is 4.99 no matter how much you order , or free shipping if it's over $49. There's some places that sell bariatric stuff that has better shipping rates.
