 “I got the Citracal Creamy Bites in the lemon flavor. I have not tried the other flavors, so my review is only for the lemon. I do not like the taste of these. They taste very very sweet, like lemon candy bar. I normally like lemon and sweetness, but this is way to sweet for me. Other than the ultra sweetness, this wasn't that bad of a product. My local wal-mart only had the lemon flavor, so if I see any other flavors in the future, I will buy them and try them out, and write a separate review for it.”

 “I got the Creamy Chews in the chocolate flavor. They also come in a lemon flavor. They're like eating candy! My nut. suggested a calcium citrate supplement of 1,000 to 1,500 mg/day. These were a good choice since they're chewable and very tasty!”

 “Another lifesaver. if not for these chews, I would not be so diligent about taking my calcium - the best one, they say, is the one you will take! This is it for me. Two a day, one after bfast & dinner, they're like a treat. Lemon Creme & Choc Mint are my favorite (only) flavors. So grateful for these!”

 “I have tried the chocolate mint and chocolate fudge. I LOVE the mint flavor. Taste just like a Girl Scout thin mint! I am not fond of the fudge one. My Walmart just began to carry these, but they havent got the mint ones. There is also Lemon, caramel and another that Im not sure of the flavor. 500mg calcium per chew. PERFECT way to get your calcium 3 times a day!”
