Does anyone know where to get these - I can't find them anyplace and I love them for getting in my calcium.  I prefer them over the Viactiv...... Even if there is a site online to get them, I don't care....help someone.....

Hey Jean-

I tried researching online to see what stores have them, but it looks like all the normal places that did have them (Walgreens, Drugstore.com) have discontinued them.

Sorry... hopefully others will have more luck.

Thought I saw them at Costco.  I like the Viactiv caramels, but I think I saw those there too.

LOL I was just going to get on here and post about  the Creamy Lemon ones!!!  Beware of  Viactiv !  It is not Citrate.  It is carbonate and I bought 2 boxes of the lemon citrical bites at Rite Aide today.  I had never had them and YUM....BUT  I heard they have been discontinued!!!  I am not sure if it is true or not...but if so...boo hoo!!!

Right Cheri, With the carbonate, you only get half the amount of calcium that you need.  Your bones just don't absorb it.  So scratch what is stated on the container, you only get half of that.  With citrate, you get the whole amount.  I learned that during a support group meeting , where our group leader was just diagnosed with osteoporosis after taking Viactiv for several months.
Without struggle, there is no progress.

Mission Pharmacal Company who originally produced Citracal was recently acquired by Bayer Pharmaceuticals and they decided to discontinue the Creamy Bites. Here is a link to their website where you can contact them and express your displeasure. http://citracal.com/
