Here u go :) its caltrate

Those aren't calcium citrate & are high in sugar. :( I can't find a chewable calcium citrate locally - only from the Internet. I did find a liquid ca citrate called Wellesse but it is blended with ca phosphate so need to ask my doc about it Friday to see if RNY patients can absorb it. It's sugar free too. The Internet ca citrate chewables are so expensive.

Bariatric Advantage has a chewable Iron and calcium citrate. Both very tasty but pricey. I take the iron but alternate the Calcium with citracle chewables. I know they are carbonate but money is a bit right right now. Oh and my surgeon is fine with gummies.< /p>

You would think they were citrate because all their other products are but they're not citrate either & are 7 gms of sugar. I brought all these products up with my Nut before surgery & she said we really need citrate & to read the labels of everything for sugars including supplements. Not sure why it's so hard to find a local chewable calcium citrate. I avoid the gummies due to the sugar content & not the right Calcium. Just be sure you don't take calcium and Iron together - they negate each other when taken together..

The ones I have are citrate. You are thinkg of a different brand. Caltrate is carbonate. Citrical is citrate. I know. Yes they have a but of sugar, but I also use the Wellesse, but citrical gummues are citrate

And everyones doctor tells them different. I wascat a point where it was take these or nothing because the wellesse was making me gag. My.calcium and vit d levels are great and I even do the carbonate taffy sometimes too. As long as you are actively taking something.

Per websites both brands of tummies are ca triphosphate. Everyone's body is different so I'm glad your doing great on what you're taking. You're right something is better than nothing but citrate is better absorbed than other formulas

It doesnt make the others unabsorbable. My doc approves them. Different strokes for different folks. My bottle says Calcium citrate. Maybe they have changed the formula since I bought mine or maybe there is more than one kind on the market.

Those aren't calcium citrate though! I had bought a whole box of viactiv chews and then got home and realized that there is a difference. Our RNY bodies cannot absorb the regular Calcium, so we must have calcium citrate instead.

I bought my one a day Multivitamin on line at procarehealth 10 bucks a bottle.

The Calcium I got at Vitamin shop store. I have to take 3 calcium a day spread out.

Those are the calcium chews I found too! They had them at the Vitamin Shoppe. They carry that whole line of bariatric Vitamins in their store.

Everything I'm finding online says citrical is from tri Calcium phosphate, not citrate. Bummer. I was getting excited.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
