Question:
Chewable Calcium- not chewable pills
Does anyone know of any chewable calcium like Viativ, not chewable pills? — Maria D. (posted on December 6, 2002)

There are chewable calcium citrate wafers. They are citrus flavor and
tolerable. They are about the size of a quarter and maybe 1/4 inch thick.
Bought mine from swansonvitamins.com. Good luck to you!

I haven't been successful finding Viactiv-style calcium citrate (although I
sure wish I could!!!). I used the Twinlabs wafers for a while but didn't
care for them. They are so dry! I now use a liquid calcium citrate that I
found at www.vitaminworld.com. It comes in several flavors. The blueberry
and lemon custard are good. I just ordered the strawberry but haven't tried
it yet. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is not portable
because it has to be refrigerated.

I am taking the Twinlab calcium citrate right now. I had ordered the
citrate capsules from Vitalady, but the first time I took one (around 2
months post-op) It got stuck and I thought I was gonna die! It took 2 days
to feel better. That's why I like the Twinlab chewables. Also, they have a
sweet/tart taste and when I eat them after my lunch and supper, it kind of
satisfies the sweet tooth and I am not looking for dessert. As for them
being dry, well they are, but I just crunch them up, and suck on them for a
minute or so and then finish chewing. I got them at vitacost.com, $8.00 for
a bottle of 60.

Maria, I take Citracal Liquidtabs...I have a hard time swallowing pills.
These are citrate calcium and dissolve in water....They are orangey. Kinda
remind me of the tate of TANG! Good Luck!

Maria, I take Spring Valley Chewable Calcium for Women. It is a 500-D-K
Supplement and tastes delicious. I love carmel square candy and this taste
just like it except it is calcium. There are 60 chews in one tub and I
think it cost about 4.99 (I really can't remember). Try this one, I am
sure that you will enjoy it. I sometimes look forward to eating one
because it taste so good. Good luck to you.
