Chewable Calcium Citrate Wafers by Twinlab Bariatric Support - Calcium Supplement

So far this has been the only Calcium Citrate I've been able to stomach. I had problems getting the capsules down because it's harder for me to swallow now, but with the chewables I can get them down with no problem.

I thought these were wonderful until I realized that I needed to be taking 8 of them a day to get in the recommended dose of calcium my Dr wants be to have. I just can't stomach 8 wafers a day and try to drink all my liquids and eat what I am trying to eat as a postop. I am looking for another calcium alternative.

I really like the taste of these because they remind me so much of the Sweet Tarts I ate when I was a kid. I nibble on a couple of them in the morning and the other two in the afternoon or evening.

This is so easy to take because its a chewable and tastes great. Best of all, its CALCIUM CITRATE. I find that I am much more dilligent at taking my calcium with this product.

Disgusting. Better off as ordinary backyard entertainment - frisbee throwing

Great product! I've emailed drugstore.com asking them to carry it because I order alot from them. They emailed me back said they would look into it... I hope they end up carrying it. Otherwise TwinLab products can be purchased at most Health Food Stores and I believe GNC carries them also; Also http://vitacost.com on the web carries them.

I purchased a bottle as a pre-op and found that they were easily tolerated than what I am taking now which is Citracal but I just couldn't handle the sweetness of the wafers. I would recommend them as they are tasty, just too sweet.

Mmmm. Calcium Citrate. These wafers are one of the highlights of my day. They taste like CANDY to me. The daily dose is 4 wafers - so thats like four good sized sweet tarts EVERYDAY! Other people reviewed these as nasty but I dig them alot. They aren't too sour for me and they are priced very reasonably on the website I bought them from. If you spend $50 or more, you get free shipping, so it's a good value. I can not swallow those huge Calcium Citrate pills I bought from my surgeon, so these work out great. Plus they keep my mouth busy and satisfy my need to 'chomp' on something. I highly recommend these chewables.

These wafers are huge but it's the only source of Calcium Citrate that I've been able to handle in my first 3 months.
