Crushing calcium?

I am having difficulty with my calcium and haven't been taking it...initially not due to dietician direction to hold off, I was going to start it now but the liquid one I bought is horrible, Walmart brand blueberry icky sweetness that makes me gag. Everything else I find that is chewable is carbonate not citrate or not willing to put the calories and carbs in to. I have citrate tabs....is it safe to crush them? I'm finding it hard to figure out online what the answer is.

If you like, you can get them at Rexall, it is a chewable calcium citrate whi*****ludes 500mg calcium and 400iu of vitamin d. It is orange flavour. They will need to order it for you. You will need only 1 tablet twice a day and it costs about $13 for 60 tablets which will last one month. Ask them to order how many you want. When you do just give them this item number #796797

These are tablets and not chewy gummy type things correct? I was told to take 500 mg of citrate three times daily but for the time I'll be on them it will be fine to not last quite a month. Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought the Jamieson Swiss chocolate flavour. They are 17 calories and 3.2 grams of carbs each. And pretty yummy

I have looked at these ones but I'd have to take three a day which means 50 calories and 6 grams of carbs...given I'm trying to keep carbs low that's a lot towards something that isn't food. Plus it's a mix of carbonate and other calciums and I read that we don't absorb carbonate well. Thank you for the suggestion though, I appreciate you replying.

No this is calcium citrate chewable tablets. Not gummy at all. No one carries them on the shelf they need to be ordered. I would recommend those as they are easiest to take. They are made by Jamp brand. So remember to give them the item number

You are welcome, they were one of the brands recommended by my centre. Good luck finding something that works for you.

Jamison is a mix. Mostly carbonate

::-(

For now I am using calcium citrate I got off Canadian Protein.

They are 500mg each in those plastic type pills that can easily be opened and poured out. I usually add it to my first or last mouthful (depending on my eating times to keep them the proper amount spaced out)

I find they really have zero flavour. And although I can feel the powder it in those mouthfuls its nothing too bad.

I plan on looking into some chewables (horrible as they may be) for when i'm not home. But have no complaints otherwise.

I can taste the powder/grit of the ones I crushed too so sounds like we're in the same boat. Looks like the chewables T-Mac posted about could work for when you're out.
