By far, the Bariatric Advantage mint flavored lozenge.

After doing pharmacy and online research, trying to find the best chewable calcium citrate, these are the 2 top brands I could come up with.

Bariatric Advantage-  400mg calcium citrate per tablet
Celebrate Calcium Plus- 500mg calcium citrate per tablet.

I ordered these from a website called Nashua Nutrition, free shipping over $100, here is the breakdown per tablet:

I ordered Celebrate, one of cherry tart and 2 of berries & cream. At $19.75 per tub for 90 tablets, each tablet is $.21
BA mint, one tub at $39.75 for 270 tablets, each tablet is $.14

The Celebrate tabs are huge. They also taste like favored chalk and left a big "poof" of powder on the table when I opened each tub. I was surprised because most of the reviews were good on this product, but the only advantage I see to this chewable is that it offers 100mg more than the Bariatric Advantage.
The BA mint is smaller and thicker, actually seems more like a breath mint and will partially dissolve in the mouth if you let it. Barely any aftertaste, compared to the Celebrate.
Hope this helps any calcium-crazy shoppers :)
