CHEWABLE CALCIUM

I have been taking the chewable calcium tablets and for the past couple of days I almost gag on the darn things trying to get them down, DO YOU THINK I COULD CRUSH THEM AND PUT IN MY PROTEIN SHAKE AND GET THE SAME NUTRITIONAL EFFECT AS CHEWING??? Just trying to figure out another way to get them down. KathyJ

KATHY YOU AN DO IT THAT WAY I HAVE SOMETIMES WHEN I JUST DONT FEEL BOTHERED I EVEN PUT MY JUICE PLUS IN THERE

Im not sure what type of chewable you are taking but, i really like the GNC kind, they are really good, like candy...

I wouldn't put it in your shake. Your body can only absorb so much at one time, and as fast as it moves through our little pouches, you'd be wasting your money. My protein shake has 600mg (morning) & my multi has 600mg (lunch)...then I take my calcium at night (another 500mg), so I am hoping that between all three, I'm getting at least 1000mg to actually be absorbed in my body. I did find a sugar free version of the Viactiv chewables. It's not Viactiv, but similar. It's put out by a company called Best Health Sugar Free Calcium Soft Chews & I found it at Food Lion. It's sweetened with Splenda and you feel like you are chewing up a yummy chocolate. There are 48 in a can and they are less than $5, I think. Hope that helps! Amanda
