calcium citrate

Help.......

The original tablets were too big. I decided to try Bariatric Advantage chewable, caramel. VERY gritty. Bad after taste. So I'm back to the large pills.

I want to try the Critical petites. Has anyone tried these?

Bariatric advantage agent suggested wild cherry chewable.

If anyone has any suggestions please share.

Thanks

I do the chewables from Costco. They look more like candies than pills (I don't know if I'm describing it correctly.) And a couple of them sort of feels like candy. Sort of.

I'm taking Solaray capsules and open them into my drinkable yogurt. Makes for gritty yogurt, but doesn't add any taste. I'm taking 500mg 2x day and supposedly the vitamin D in the yogurt helps with absorption.

It sounds like all the chewable have the gritty taste. I really can't handle the gritty taste. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I couldn't handle any of the chewables. My surgeon recommended the bariatric advantage chewy bites and I love them - all 4 flavors.

Try the Calcet calcium bites on the Celebration website. They come in lemon and chocolate and are very good. I received a sample before surgery and purchased after I was cleared to have them.

I bought three favors of the Bariatric Advantage chews. Caramel, Lemon and chocolate Peanutbutter.

I actually like the lemon and caramel. I have an almost whole bag of the choc pb to get rid of. That is the only one I didn't like.

I also have the BA preop chewable Vitamins. Don't care for the flavor. I will be looking into other Multivitamins when I use these up.

Cala, the nutritionist gave me samples of the lemon and berry. I have been taking the Caltrate petites. Thanks.
