I just saw those as well. No vit. D so, no way Jose! :P

Caltrate petites 5 a day got them at walmart also do Celebrate calcium chews from their website they are yummy

Oh man! Sick of the BA chewable??? How is that possible?? I love them for a year now in caramel flavor, giving me a little guilt free "candy treat" every single day. Mmmmm , caramel... If you really must give up this treat, then I have also found Costco to have good calcium tablets however, they do tend to beon the horse pill side of size, so do consider if you are ready to take those. After about 6 months, I could take just about any size pill, even the really huge ones they have in animal pack vitamins (think: horse pill size x2)

Hi Fiddle,

I tried one last night at my support meeting & although it was tasty....It was like a hard taffy, I chewed that thing forever!

My BA chewables are the big chalk ones.... :wacko:

I am confused. So you got sick of them after 1 day?

Oh now I get you. The chalk tablet o death. Hated those. Made me puke all the time. I eventually switched to trader joes adult chewable tablet which tasted much better and did not make me puke. If I recall correctly, I think the TJ tabs had 100 percent RDA calcium in them. I took two of them daily to hit 200 percent RDA daily as recommended by nut. Now i take Optimen for fueling my workouts with good energy. BA needs to discontinue those Choc o nasty tablets prompto.

I have tried Calcium chewables from BA and they are plain disgusting. I can’t stand chewing another one. Worst of all they make me nauseous every time. I tried switching flavors but, it was the same result all over. I switched to capsules from Vita4Life. They are regular sized pills and easy enough to swallow. They do not make me nauseous and have returned some great lab results.
