Chewable Calcium Costco
I was just at Costco and they have Calcium Citrate Chews in a bag of 600 for $13.99! These are similar to the Bariatric Advantage Chewy Bites and are about 1/10th the price. I have to take 6 of these a day, which means I'll only have to buy them every three months! I'm excited - I love those things! I imagine I'm eating a Tootsie Roll when I take them! (250 mg each, and they are sugar free)
Are you sure they are calcium citrate, not carbonate? What brand are they?

The reason I'm asking is because, if they are calcium citrate, they are a new product and it's pretty exciting because up 'til now, the only place I've found chewable calcium citrate in a store is at Vitamin Shoppe. Otherwise, it had to be ordered online. It would be awesome if some place like Costco carried it. Wouldn't help me, there is no Costco anywhere around here, but it would still be awesome for many people.

The ones I found there were Calcium Carbonate. If you found Citrate -- could you post a link?? I would love a less expensive alternative!!

It's not difficult for most people to swallow pills after RNY.
