April 5, 201313 yr What exact ones are we sapossed to be using , I find it hard to swallow these big pills !
April 5, 201313 yr I buy my chewy gummy Vitamins at costco. Multi and calcium. You found gummy calcium citrate at Costco?
April 5, 201313 yr No. My dr has me on Calcium with vit D http://www.bjs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10201&storeId=10201&partNumber=P_129964138&sc_cid=GPLA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=129964138 But I buy these at Costco
April 5, 201313 yr The chews I found at costco were calcium carbonate. Viactive is calcium carbonate.. I have not found any other chews or gummies other than bariatric specific chews available online that were calcium citrate. (vitafusion gummies are not calcium citrate) I am taking citrical petites and puritain's pride minis... they are smaller in size.. I take six per day spread out throughout the day... ALSO, you don't have to do the chews if you don't want to , Bariatric Advantage makes wafers in many flavors that are a lot cheaper and have fewer calories than the chews.
April 5, 201313 yr I like Calcet - you can get them online. They come in chocolate (YUMMY!!!) and lemon (haven't tried yet - but heard they're good). I've also tried the caramel ones from Bariatric Advantage, but I like the Calcet ones better. At the moment, though, I'm using Wellesse liquid - it's creamsicle flavored. Got a free sample and a couple of bottles with coupons so I'm going to use those until it runs out.
April 5, 201313 yr I or my lab work show no signs or reason to require me to take calcium citrate over the vitafusion I'm currently taking. I don't have an absorption issue so I feel good with what taking ATM. Like said.. Follow docs orders
April 5, 201313 yr I take Bariatric Advantage-brand calcium citrate chewy bites...4 a day (250 mg each).
April 5, 201313 yr My NUT is very big on making sure it is calcium citrate. I couldn't tolerate the chalky chewables so she said to get the citracal with D3 gummies. They are pink, purple and orange. I take two twice a day. It's only for a few weeks til I can tolerate the pills again. At first I was worried about the carbs in them but she assured me that it won't affect anything!
April 5, 201313 yr I take Bariatric Advantage-brand calcium citrate chewy bites...4 a day (250 mg each). I second the BA chews, especially caramel. They are yummy little treats 3 x a day (6 total). At 6 month, my calcium levels were dead on mid range. I have 9 month checkup next week and will see if I need to keep taking. I am a total addict to them now though and am not sure I could give them up. Lol.
