Powdered Calcium

is - okay - I thought I was gonna my guts out this morning trying it. Any suggestions on making this more palletable?

Hi IG, Are you talking about the UpCal D? I've heard other people say they can't tolerate it, but I love it. I mix it with my yogurt almost every day, it dissolves pretty well. There have been times when I didn't have yogurt that I just dissolved it in water. Do you eat cereal? Dissolve it in the milk before you pour it on. Or pudding, soup, anything with liquid should do the trick. Stir it up good to dissolve most of it. I've even just put it in my mouth and followed with a quick swallow of water. It is gritty but there is no flavor I could detect. I started using it because I couldn't swallow the big pills, and cutting them in half would scratch my throat. Carole

I too love powdered calcium....like UpCalD....I put mine in a 20ounces bottle of water with a CL to go packet or something.....the only thing is to shake it before each drink cause it does collect....but I have never really noticed a taste to it.......BUT I have tried to be cheaper and just open up my capsules and take powdered calcium that way that stuff isn't meant for that.....it was so chalky and nasty and wouldn't mix just thinking about it......But no problems with UpCalD powdered calcium, love it!

I actually have NO CLUE what it is I'm taking. My DH and I just bought it - read the label saw it was citrate and bought it because the other versions at the store had tons of other kerap in it. I know I know - bad not knowing what I'm taking - I know it's calcium 1000mg or is that g? hmmm... I tried it with water this morning and eeewwww!!!! It says to put in cold liquid. I thought I could dump it in my coffee and could swill it that way, but as one of you kind peoples said stir it after each drink cause it collects. Maybe I am like my DH says BIG BABY!
