Chocolate calcium citrate chewables and Lemon too
Bariatric advantage now has chewable calcium citrate in chocolate and lemon.
Did you know Bariatric advantage now makes the calcium citrate in chewables? Chalky Chocolate heaven, they are, lol!! I went to my 9 month follow up with Dr. Garth Davis Thursday. As I was leaving the office I saw a sample bucket of silver wrapped somethings. I grabbed one and popped it in my mouth, yum chocolate. I turned right around and went back to see what I just ate (though I should have done that before I put it in my mouth) and the nurse said it's new chocolate calcium citrate chewables for Bariatric Advantage so I bought two bags. They are really good. Obviously they are slightly chalky but it's definitely not a problem. There is also lemon flavor but I haven't tried those yet.

Here is the stats on the chocolate ones. Garth wants us to get 1200 - 1500mg each day so, 5 - 7 per day is 75 - 105 calories per day extra? Did I do the math right??

I calculated the cost of 1500 mg / day of calcium citrate as my basis.
I took the (mg/servings) x (# servings) / 1500 to find out the number of days in the bottle. Then I divided the price by the number of days to calculate a cost per day.
For citracal petites, each pill is 200 mg x 200 pills per bottle / 1500 = 26 days in a bottle. I found a price online at Walgreens for $13.50 (could not find Wal Mart price online), so 50 cents per day. I did not figure in shipping or sales tax for local purchases, so these are approx costs.
Here is my summary:
Brand # Days $$$ $/Day
Citracal Petites 26 $13.50 $0.52
BA Chews 10 $9.99 $1.00
BA Chalky 72 $40.00 $0.55
Twin Labs 10 $9.49 $0.95
UpCalD 38 $13.49 $0.35
For grins I did it for 1200 mg/day:
Here is my summary:
Brand # Days $$$ $/Day
Citracal Petites 33 $13.50 $0.41
BA Chews 12.5 $9.99 $0.80
BA Chalky 90 $40.00 $0.44
Twin Labs 12.5 $9.49 $0.76
UpCalD 47.5 $13.49 $0.28
