Calcium Citrate with d3
There is also a powder called Upcal D that you can mix into liquids. It is very reasonably priced (the Creamy Bites and the Bariatric Advantage chews are yummy, but too pricey for most people to use for 3 or 4 doses every day!), and is available on Amazon (I have not seen it in any stores).
the only thing is that it does NOT dissolve completely, so if it takes you a while to drink whatever you mix it into, you will need to periodically stir or you will end up with calcium sludge at the bottom (which is disgusting).
As a compromise between the large, hard pills and the chewables, I use the Vitamin Shoppe brand capsules (or some that I get at Costco). They are still kind of big, but because they are gelatin capsules they are more flexible going down than the pills.

Just an added note -- I love the calcet creamy bites -- I mean they are like lemon cake bites!!!-- but keep in mind that they have 40 calories and 7 grams of carbs each!!! Youll need 3 per day to meet requirements-- that's a whopping 120 calories and 21 carbs.

Bariatric Advantage has calcium citrate chewy bites in caramel, chocolate peanut butter & raspberry, caramel is my fave, their calcium citrate chewables are gross (wild cherry). You can also check out Celebrate's Calcet's Creamy Bites, I happen to like the lemon cream but it comes in chocolate fudge as well.
