Calcium Citrate Chewables

Everyone

I'm looking for some calcium citrate chewables without sugar alcohols.  My local Vitamin Shoppe had some, but they were worse than the Magnesium Citrate I had to do pre-op.  (translation:  totally inedible!).  I can tolerate some sugar if I eat with protein, but pesky sugar alcohols give me cramps several hours later.  I have found all the other vitamins and supplements I need that are made with either dextrose or something similar. (did you know vitamin D3 comes in nice little drops that are tasteless?) Even Vitalady has Bariatric Advantage for Calcium citrate, which contain sugar alcohols.  And be aware, the Citrical Chewables do not contain Calcium Citrate.....

Many thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi Price

I checked on line, and the BA tablets have sorbitol (a sugar alcohol) as their first ingredient.  Are you talking about their chewy bites?  Also, have you tried their calcium gluconate crystals?

Thanks for your suggestion.

These are "Chewable Calcium Citrate chocolate Flavored"  They aren't chews but look similar to my mulit chewables.  Fructose is the first ingred but I don't see any other sweetners that I recognize.  I like them but I'm not picky about that stuff.
