I'm going to try BA calcium chews, I've been taking Unjury chewables snd they are citrusy and chalky! I can't eat them much longer! Anyone have suggestions for the multi-vit? Also gagging on chalky Unjury brand chewable!

I just crush mine. I figure it's more economical and I only have to do one per day.

The BA chewables left a metallic taste in my throat for hours! Citrate is not as tasty as the carbonate! Go figure! Just like food...the tastier things are not the right things! I do like the lemon chews too! I bought a canister of unflavored crystals and throw then in something I drink. I am not on pre-op diet yet, but usually put a scoop of naked protein and calcium in my morning coffee. I can skip breakfast that way! LOL

You are right. Carbinates do taste better than citrates, especially when comparing costco carbonates to BA citrates. I am going to bring this up at my next dr/ nut follow up at the end of the month ans see if I can switch to carbonates. They are far less expensive when buying from costco.
