Calcium Suggestions?

I need to increase my Calcium Citrate daily intake. I have been taking capsules (actually just the powder in the capsules) 2 times daily. Needless to say the powder is horrible. How do you all get your calcium in daily?

I take 2 Viactiv chewables. I think they are yummy. I have french vanilla and my awesome secret pal sent me some strawberry ones. So right now I take one of each every day. Dawn

How many mg in each one? I have thought about getting some of these.

I like the chocolate. I tried the carmel, but didn't like it. It's like having a piece of chocolate every night.

My nut recomended Citrical mini's. She said they are real little tablets. I haven't tried them though. Leeanne

Viactiv is 500mg calcium. I take 2 a day. Some will say we don't absorb it because it is carbonate. My Surgeon says to take them, by name. He has no problems with bone loss in those who do take it. But if your Doc says to take citrate, then you need to find something else. I hear there is chewable citrate, not sure of the name.

I finally found a chewable calcium citrate that I love, it is called Citracal Creamy Bites. I was told by my nut it had to be calcium citrate and not carbonate, and this was the only chewable I could find. They are 500 mg each and 200IU vitamin D. They come in many flavors, but I love the chocolate mint, tastes like a grasshopper cookie! Good luck! Karyn

I take Citical Creamy Chews. They are good. It is like a treat. I like the Caramel and the Choc Mint. Try them, you'll like them. Hazel

I use the liquid calcium magnesium, it tastes like a creamcicle....and I keep it in the fridge so it is nice and cold!! You can get most of these liquids at the supermarket in the health food section or the vitamin isle...HTH. Steph

I dislike all Calcium Citrate I've tried. I can get the Citracal creamy bites down in Choc Mint (although I hate that they are 40 cals each: 80 each day= 560 cals more each week). But, I figure it's totally necessary no matter the cals---- Cathy
