Best calcium citrate supplement?

 I know I have seen this post before but I need some help from the veterans. I have been switching around and am still looking for a decent chewable calcium citrate. The ones I have tried (vitamin shoppe, Whole Foods and the current incarnation of Rainbow Light chocolate chewables) are good but not great. I gasped when I saw the Rainbow light have 60 calories per 1000 mg! (That's what I get for not taking my glasses to the store!

Thanks for your input.

I'm not a veteran, and I've only tried one brand of Calcium Citrate - Bariatric Advantage - but I can say that I really like them.

The chocolate is like a tootsie roll. The caramel reminds me of Bit o' Honey, and the cherry is like eating a Starburst. So I feel like I'm getting a little treat when I have them

My personal favorite is Upcal D.  It's a powder you can mix in any drink.  It has no taste.

If you want something yummy, though, the Calcet creamy bites from Celebrate are wonderful.  Costly, though.

 BA chews are fairly reasonable for price & taste. Calcet had been out of stock in many places but just got a shipment in and are a DIVINE treat!!! Makes calcium the only vit I look forward to....

It looks you have the same case with my cousin. The supplement she takes is the MX Calcium Complex. I don't know if you heard about that product before but it's a calcium supplement that can help protect your body from injury, chronic illness, and other health concerns. Try to search that over the internet to get you more info. I hope you can find best supplement like this one.

It looks like that has a combination of two different kinds of calcium.  So I'm not sure how many you would need to take to get in your daily calcium requirements.  Maybe Kelly or someone more knowledgeable can answer that.  I just wanted to point out that it doesn't look to be 100% calcium citrate.

I am in love with the caramel chews from Bariatric Advantage and the lemon Calcet Creamy Bites from Celebrate.
