Question:
Can anyone tell me where I can find liquid forms of calcium citrate

liquid forms of calcium citrate? Also, what do you do if you are currently taking some prescription medications that are time released and cannot be crushed or come in a liquid form?    — Sharon R. (posted on July 23, 2001)

I purchased Calcium Magnesium Citrate in liquid form at a local health food store (Country Health in Wilm,DE). The brand name is LifeTime and it's in a 16oz bottle. Once opened it needs to be refrigerated. It has 32 day supply and cost about 8.00. I was told you should have a calcium/magnesium ratio 2 to 1. This product has that ratio, but the calcium is in the form of citrate AND gluconate. Not sure if that's cool or not.

If you can't find the liquid calcium citrate near you, you can order it from www.drugstore.com. Pretty much when I can't find something, I go to them. The also have liquid B12 as well as a wide selection of protein supplements.

I get Citrical Liquitabs from AmericaRX.com. They are big tablets that you dissolve and drink (orange flavored). I really like to add them to citrus-flavored Crystal Light. They add some fizz and a little kick to the taste.

The Citracal Calcium Citrate Liquitab can also be ordered through just about any pharmacy. I am going to order some as soon as I get moved to Texas. Right now I am using a calcium soft chew(like taffy). As for the time release, could you open capsules and sprinkle over yogurt or in juice?

Do you have a health food store or a co-op store nearby? I didn't even think about this option but when I went into our local food co-op, they had liquid calcium, and it seemed like hundreds of other vitamins in all forms. Of course there were lots of sugar-free, fat-free vitamins too there.

I am using Calcium Citrate in wafer form. It is like eating a sweet tart. I eat six of them a day. I order them through the twinlab web site.

I take a calcium citrate (correctly proportioned with mag & D) in a capsule. I can open & dump into a drink or swallow the cap whole, whichever I prefer. Cheap 'n easy. Some meds are available in regular form, if you ask. Also, if you can find out where in the gut the TR meds are broken down, that might help determine if you need to increase or decrease the dose. Of course, the doc will do the change, but you can ask the questions. The pharmacists run when they see me coming, I assure you!
