Calcium chews that are citrate?
I'm currently taking Webber Naturals liquid calcium which is so vile I actually shudder when it hits my tongue! The trouble is I can't seem to find chews that are citrate and not carbonate. Anyone care to share which brand they use so I can see if I can hunt some down? I've tried using the search on OH but it's being useless :\

If you mean chews that are like a caramel, you won't find them in drugstores. All the ones in drugstores are a combination of calciums and mostly carbonate. You can order the citrate ones from Bariatric Advantage but just so you know, they work out to about $1/day without the shipping. You can buy regular calcium citrate and crush them and swallow, they have no flavour at all. You can even chew them and they are just slightly chalky in texture but no real taste.

I am so used to just chewing the regular ones that I don't even flinch anymore. At first I found it an odd texture but now I just pop in my mouth and chew it like nothing. You can also put the powder in a bit of water and throw it back or even put in a bit of apple sauce so you know you are getting it all. Before long you can swallow them whole or cut them in half or just keep chewing like I do even though I don't have to.

I know Bariatric Advantage makes them, several flavours, I used to buy mine at Shoppers in the TWH. They are behind the counter so you have to ask a pharmacy counter clerk for them. I'm sure other pharmacies carry them, that was my source and I know they will ship directly from amazon. http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps &field-keywords=bariatric++advantage
