Question:
I found a great way to get the chalky calcium citrate down :0)

I ordered the calcium citrate with mag & vit D, from vitalady, and I was advised not to take the capsuls yet for fear of getting stuck. Of course it doesnt mix with water or milk or any liquid for that matter, and I hate the chalky gritty taste- SO I put about 1/2 teaspoon of Hersheys syrup in a 2 oz. cup and opened the capsule into it and mixed it up. the calcium absorbs the chocolate, so its not gritty, and taste and looks like brownie mix. Not too bad and I get my calcium in with no problem. I also add milk sometimes and drink it, or just eat it with a spoon. I'm sure surgar free syrups would work just as well, but this is all I have until I buy some that is sugar free. Let me know if any of you like this idea, after you have tried it.    — wizz46 (posted on June 18, 2003)

That sounds like one good suggestion, although I wonder why you said you can't mix it into anything? Most of the people in the support group I attend get the capsules, and open them into their protein shakes when they blend them up... (I'm still pre-op, so I haven't tried it)...

I do what the previous poster said. I can't take them solo or they hurt my stomach. Good luck and God Bless!

Vitalady also sells a powdered Calcium Citrate that is pretty much tasteless and odorleess and you can mix it with drinks or food.
