Who makes mint chocolate ones?

The only ones I found via Google search are Viactive and those are not calcium citrate (which is the type of calcium that we need).

Yes, Viactiv is the wrong type of calcium. If it was only a "little" wrong, like you need two instead of one, I wouldn't be upset, but you need something like 10 to get MAYBE the effect of one.... and then you'd be courting serious kidney stones on top of everything else.

I purchase UpCal D through Amazon and I also use Citrical (not the bone strength ones, those have good and bad calcium I think)

You would need 60 Viactive per day to get enough calcium, I did the math. We absorb about 4% of the calcium in calcium carbonate.
