Chewable Calcium Citrate Wafers by Twinlab Bariatric Support - Calcium Supplement

I had to search high and low for chewable calcium citrate. I found these at www.vitacost.com. These were rated pretty good, taste-wise. These are BIG wafers, being about 1" across. And you need to chew 4 a day for 1000 mg. It also has 500mg of magnesium and 400IU Vit D, as required by the surgeon. Taste to me, is not bad. It kind of tastes like a sweettart.

I hated chewing these tablets up! I sent them back to the company for a full refund. I am using Upcal D(gotta try this out)

They're big "Sweet Tarts". I take 4 of these a day. They are calcium citrate and magnesium. They have a little tart aftertaste so I pop the whole thing in my mouth at once instead of nibbling them. These are lifesavers. I cannot swallow the big calcium horse pill at all.

These taste sort of like those candy necklaces for children. Not great for a new post op, because you have to eat 8 in one day. Six months or longer should be fine.

Tastes great! Kinda like candy. I got the one with vitamin D and magnesium in it so it was really good.

This rating posted 1/25/05: I highly recommend TwinLab Calcium Citrate Chewable Wafers. It's citrate, with magnesium & Vitamin D, all for best absorption. Chewable means more absorbable than pills. (Calcium pills tend to be huge, by the way, because the calcium molecule itself is a very large one. So it's a big pill to hit our pouch with, which means it may not break down sufficiently.) Unlike liquid, the chewables are easy to carry in my purse. And I love to suck on them first (personally, I love the taste) to soften then up, minimize the chalkiness and help more of it be ingested right at the tongue/salivary stage. I take 1500 mg, which means 500 mg 3x a day (in am, evening & before bed). It also means 3 bottles a month at my dosage level. Good calcium is expensive, but it--and we--are worth it! So shop wisely. A bottle at my health food store is $15.50 each. I've been buying from vitacost.com for awhile, and I currently pay under $84 for 12 bottles, incl. s/h.: that's less than $7/bottle. I feel I'm doing the best I can to avoid osteoporosis, which really is the most important "rating" of all here!

I take 2000 mgs a day. They are a lifesaver. I hate swallowing pills.

I purchase mine at http://www.vitacost.com // A good way to get the maximum ammount of calcium. Easy for me, I had a hard time swallowing the other hard calcium pills and did not know if they were digesting in my stomach enough.

This is the least expensive place on the internet as far as I can find. Shipping seems to stay the same even though you buy more than one. I didn't much care for the taste at first but they grew on me. They are like a treat or snack for me now. I just suck on them. They're kind of like huge sweet tarts only not tart.

NASTY/NASTY/NASTY! It was all I could do to chew up one of these a day-and you need to chew *4*!! Way too sweet! NO WAY NO HOW!! YUCK!
