Citracal has "Creamy Bites" now...

I just bought three boxes of the new Citracal Creamy Bites...they're like the Viactiv, but are Calcium Citrate, the kind of calcium we WLS patients need. My doctor requires only Calcium Citrate. They come in like four or five different flavors. I bought: Chocolate Mint Caramel Chocolate They also have: Lemon Creme and maybe one other.. Nutrition Info: 30 per container Calories: 35 Total Fat: 1.5G Cholesterol: 5mg Sodium 40mg Total Carb 5g Sugars 4g Protein 0 Vitamin D : 200 IU per piece Calcium (as calcium citrate) 500mg ******* They aren't bad, I can get them down and take 4 a day and get in what I need...it's a good addition to the liquid that I take, too.

Thanks for the info. Deb. Marcus told me she saw these at Target last night. If I can find them at a good price I may try it. I hate swallowing big horse pills so any chewables are welcome.

Hi, Paula! As Christine said, I saw these advertised in Target's ad for this week...$7.99 for a box of 30...chocolate or lemon creme. Thank you for answering the question I had as to whether they were calcium citrate or calcium carbonate, although I thought that they probably were citrate since they're from Citrical. Where did you buy them and how much were they? Also, you said "they aren't bad". Which flavor(s)? What was the texture like? Is the taste just not bad, or is it good? Although they're more expensive than CVS' version of Citrical caplets (which I have no problem swallowing), if the chocolate tastes good enough to satisfy my occasional chocolate craving, this may be a good alternative.

Hi Paula I saw that at Walmart and for me I do not want take this because It is little too much sugar for me. Hope to see you soon for our mini gahtering together here but have not set up yet but soon SMILE! Hugs Kathy K

VERY good to know. I constantly struggle with calcium... Where'd you get these? What was your favorite flavor? Are they chewy like viactive?
