I love the Calcet creamy bites but I've never tried the BA chews. Anyone tried both? Do the BA chocolate and lemon chews taste like the Calcet ones or are the different? And how are the BA caramel chews? Do they just taste like a piece of caramel candy?

ETD: I'm asking because BA has calcium chews on sale right now. Buy 2, get one free! (They have to be the same flavor, though)

My favorite is BA Raspberry. The Lemon comes in second. I did not care for the Chocolate and I have never tried the Caramel. The Raspberry and Lemon are like a Starburst candy. I have never used the Calcet creamy bites.

Hello Kelly! I bought a bag of the BA Lemon Chews to try them out. They are very simular in texture to Starbursts, and a simular taste. They are very good, but today received a sample of the Calcet Creamy Bites and WOW! Those are sooo much yummier! I like the soft texture! But the deal on BA ones is a great one! And they have no after taste!

I have some ordered, so I will let you know. I am new to taking calcium, so after I was cleared to start my vitamins I opened my bottle of cinnamin wafers. Even though I love this flavor they are huge! I immediatly ordered the BA chews and Calcet Chews...we'll see!!

Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.

I think you'll love the Calcet. I've never heard anyone say they didn't like them. They are just so expensive. The BA chews aren't much cheaper, though. But buy two, get one free is a great deal. I think I'm going to order some, I just haven't decided which flavor to get. If I get some thumbs up from people on the caramel, I'll probably try those. I've been in the mood for caramel lately.

The lemon and raspberry ones are good but I tried the caramel ones and now they're my favorite. That's a great deal ! I'll have to order some more.

Hey Kelly: I have the chocolate, caramel and the lemon.....all are great. Caramel is my fav. Choc is very good. For some reason the lemon has an odd (almost burning) after taste. Not enough to make me stop eating them, but it is still very good. But now seeing your post, I am going to try Calcet creamy bites and see which ones I like the best. All are expensive, I guess, but it is worth it to maintain our health. By the way, thanks for all of your posts. I am a relative newby and have learned a great deal from you.

The calcets are only a tiny bit more expensive than the BA chews, I think. When I first looked at the prices of each it looked like BA was a lot cheaper, but then I realized they are only 250 mg and the Calcet are 500 mg. So it looks like the Calcet are twice as expensive as BA, but that's because they have twice as much calcium.

Celebrate usually sends free samples if you email or call and ask. But I can't recall ever seeing a post from someone that didn't like them. I had been missing my calcium sometimes so I recently ordered more of the Calcet. They are so yummy, I am much less likely to miss a dose.

I'm gonna order some of the BA caramel, though.

You know what's really yummy? Put some of the chocolate ones in the freezer. Tastes like a frozen candy bar.
