I really like the chocolate and the cinnamon. I also get the mint
sometimes but the other ones are better.

I hated them. They are huge. Bigger than a quarter and about half and inch
thick. Yuck. I use Tropical Oasis liquid calcium from mothernature.com.
Tastes like orange. Calcium citrate, orange flavored. One tbsp is 1200 mg.

Yes. I love the cinnamon. I have also tried the mint. But what many people
don't realize is you don't chew them. You suck on this like a piece of
candy. They are a lozenge. If you like hard cinnamon candy you will love
the cinnamon. I fell like I am cheating on my dieting when I take them.

Hi Mary! I use the chocolate version, and while they took a little getting
used to, I actually like them better than any of the liquids I have tried.
I use them as a type of dessert, keeping them in my mouth and sucking on
them until they dissolve. This can take a while, but it does feel like a
chocolate goodie to me. Good luck to you!-Pam

I am not normally a cinnamon type person but these ROCK!!! I tried the
chocolate one and wasn't nearly as impressed. They are loaded with calcium
and it only takes 2 a day! Its kind of like eating a tums, but with a
little cinnamon kick to it.

I like to use the chocolate and mint together as a combo. Like another
poster said - they are a lozenge to be sucked on, not chewed. The cinnamon
is really good if you REALLY love cinnamon. Reminds me of a cinnamon
Altoid!

I used to like these until someone on the boards recommended:
BuildingBlocks Chewable Calcium Citrate contains 600 IU vitamin D for
enhanced absorption. Daily serving size contains 1000 mg of elemental
calcium in six "Quick Dissolve" great tasting chocolate flavored
tablets. They taste better to me. Now, citrical makes a smaller pill to
swallow, so sooner than later, I may be trying those!

I purchased the chocholate after I discovered the calcium citrate chewables
made me nauseous after surgery. Well the chocholate ones from Bariatric
Eating also made me nauseous. So I now take two tums a day at the
recommendation of my doctor and have no problems.

Although my main source of cal citrate is capsules, I am totally addicted
to the cinnamon ones. I could snack on these like candy. Have to restrain
myself. The choco ones were ok, but a bit grittier. Didn't care for the
mint, personally.

I love the mint ones! I have always been a breath ment kind of person,
before WLS I was always sucking altoids or other types of Mints, the mint
flavored calcium has now taken the place of the others. I wouldn't
recommend chewing them, they are best if sucked on. If you chew them they
end up being kinda chalky/dry tasting.

Um, ladies . . . suck on 'em if you like, but it's fine to chew them!
Calcium is not sublingual or anything . . . it's absorbed just as well when
chewed as when sucked.

I've been taking Bariatric Advantage chewables since my surgery and i
prefer the Cinnamon flavor but the mint isnt bad. I tend to suck on
them..........just cause i like the flavor but you can chew them.
