Found a small calcium citrate tablet

I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a smaller calcium citrate tablet.  It is about the size of your index fingernail (average one) and about a 1/3 of an inch thick.  It is coated so it goes down very easily.  I take two in the am, and two at night.  It is Citracal Petites.  I got them at Rite Aid, but I think you can get them at walmart also.  I have no problem getting them down, and I do have issues with larger pills.

Thanks for the tip Martha. I actually (finally) found a brand that is working for me.  It's the Walgreens brand Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D.  I take 2 pills (and they seem to be about the size you mentioned, maybe a tad bit bigger) 3X/day.  I'm finally getting in all my calcium!  I'm glad you found something that works for you!  When I bought them, they were buy 1 get 1 free (I guess Walgreens does that a lot with their vitamins.)  I keep a bottle in my car and 1 in the house.

Good to know -- I just got a shipment of the BA calcium citrate creamy chews and I DO NOT like them. Yuck!  I will be looking to switch when they are gone (maybe sooner!).

I know what you mean...I got them too, and almost gagged.  I am bringing them into the meeting on Monday to either hand them out, or give them away.  I cannot stand them!!!

I had my GB a little over 2 years ago and I was able to find a liquid Calcium CITRATE with D at Vitamin World and that is what I have used all along.  Eliminated the whole swallowing of the giant Calcium pills.  I mix it in with a tiny amount of OJ (too much oj and I dump) but you could mix it in something else too.

I also use the unflavored powders, but every now and then it is easier to just take a pill.  I haven't seen a liquid though!

I sometimes use the Citracal calcium and put them in my coffee, protein shake, they dissolve and from what I have read on here, the residue at the bottom of the glass is ok to leave but i do tend to swirl my drink around every so often to keep less residue at the bottom...........


So no problem with large calcuim pills that way, but I do prefer the BA calcium and kinda alternate cuz of expensive.
