I'm having a hard time getting in three Calcium citrate chewables a day. If I'm lucky I get in two.i believe it's because of the two hours I have to space it between my Multivitamin. I'm concerned about the long term effects this could have on my body. Any suggestions?

Calcichew D3 Forte. I get it from my GP.

I dont chew them, just let them melt in my mouth. I quite like them

Take a higher dosage and only take two like me:) I use Bariatric Advantage and the Carmel is like eating candy! The coconut is good too. Ordering other Flavors today and they have sample packs you can order. I only do the chews not chewable chalky tasting stuff makes it more tolerable.

The vitamin sch can get confusing!! I take two multivitamins in morning. Then 2 cal citrate and d (in same tablet) at lunch and then 2 again before bed. This seems to work well for me my blood tests since doing this are good. I don't need b12 but most people would need to take a dissolvable table of 1000 every other day.

Are you spacing each of them out every 2 hours? I too take my two multi vitamins in the AM but not both one at 9AM then the next at 11AM followed by same guidelines for lunch and dinner with calcium and iron.

I have the bariatric advantage chews in orange. I don't like them. I recently got their cinnamon flavored chewables. I like those much better.
Can I take two in the morning and then one at night? Do they HAVE to be split throughout the day?. I think if I could do two together I could get them all in.

Are they the chewy bites vs chewables? In the chewy bites I have tried the dark cherry, strawberry watermelon, and Carmel are great! The coconut was decent but not as good as the above. I was told you can't take 2 at the same time because your body only has capacity to absorb one at a time which is why they say take one every 2 hours.

OK
Yes they are the chewy ones. I don't like them because it feels like it takes me forever to chew them down and I don't care for the taste it leaves in my mouth.

I would suggest telling them that and sending them back for a replacement to at least try another flavor. Never had this problem perhaps because I haven't tried the orange:)

I ended up going with the Upcal dissolving calcium powder, I was a little hesitant at first but glad I did because you really do not notice it at all! It's a very fine tasteless powder and I put a scoop in my protein shake, mix into yogurt and even in water and you cannot tell it's there. I don't like the chewy stuff that gets stuck in your teeth so this works for me
