calcium citrate in a chew

Has everyone found the new calcium citrate at Walmart? It is a chewable, but doesn't really compare to viactiv. I bought the chocolate mint and fudge kinds, but they also had lemon and caramel. Each box is a 15 day supply if you take two a day for under $6 a box. I had been using calcium carbonate because I couldn't find the right kind before. Then I ordered a horse sized pill that was supposed to be slow dissolve from bariatric eating which really made the roof of my mouth very sore. I am happy to have these new ones.

I've been looking for it but our Walmart doesn't have it yet. I have too hard of a time taking the petites - have to cut into four. That's a lot of pills when they are only 200 mg per tablet. Don't they come in fruit flavored? Diona

I haven't went to pills yet. I don't think that I will. I just feel if we get more from liquid into our bodies why go to pills and may get only a third of it. Just me.

I bought some liquid at Vitamin World and just couldn't choke it down. I have no idea what "petites" are, but for me the chews work fine.

I tried these the are from citracal the only reason I stopped taking them is because of the calories and sugar. I went to the vitamin shoppe and found some citrus chewables that arent that bad, but those chews from Citracal, they are good I must admit.

All, I tried one of the Lemon Chews this morning and it was wonderful. I don't like the taste of chocolate Viactiv. I got a tip from a visiting dietician. I told her that my program says to chew on Tums. I know that we need calcium citrate not carbonate. She suggested that I go ahead and use the citrate pills I purchased from GNC. I drop two in my pitcher of Crystal lite and they dissolve throughout the day. I find myself putting one in my bottle of Propel and having to shake it a few times to make sure it doesn't settle at the bottom. The beverage is a little cloudy but I know that I'm getting the right type of calcium. Chauncine
