Received my Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate Chewy Bites!

Okay, so I've been waiting... and at long last the Chewy Bites are in!

My verdict... They are pretty good except they leave a grainy texture at the end of the chew. I'd say the flavor is good... but I admit I liked the Citracal version better. These have 15 calories each and one needs at least six per day to fulfill our unique calcium citrate requirements.
(6X15=90 calories)

I would recommend the Chewy Bites as another alternative to my Tropical Oasis liquid calcium citrate as I still can't stand those chalky tablets!!! Now, these do bring back a memory of third grade... my first diet attempt in which my mother bought me a box of chocolate flavored AYDS... remember these??? I did lose 20 lbs. that summer...

Have you received yours and what's your opinion of them?

Have a good day all!

I was wondering about those glad you posted.  I hadn't heard of Citracal ... but, you say they're better huh.   I know everyone's taste is different so I will try to find these also and do a taste test.  My taste buds are so sensitive ... everything seems to taste like CHALK.  and/or is to sweet.  Thanks for the update on these.

Kim, I got mine too.I have not had the Citracal version, but I didn't think these were bad. On the other hand, taking six of them a day will be more costly. I am going to incorporate them in with my daily BA Lozenges.
Hugs & Love,

Karen

Oh my gosh..I remember Ayds..lol  I ate them like candy.  I don't know if I lost weight...they were my Mom's...she got made at me for eating them..lol 
I can't tolerate the chalky chews..I gave it a galant try.  I've been taking the Citrical Petites..they are smaller and easier to digest than the regular size.  4-5 are required throughout the day..I usually remember to get in 2-4.  
I also use TJ's chewable adult vitamins (2)and their chewable iron (1 every other day).  Folic Acid and B-vites are sublingual, every other day.  I am not as reliable as I should be with my vitamins..probably 75% on track...its still a work in progress.
have a Blessed day-

Hi Kim,
I got mine too! I have to admit... I am the worst at taking calcium so I decided to order these to see if I could handle them. (I JUST HATE THE CHALKY CALCIUM) Anyway, I like them minus the grainy texture. I wish they were less then 15 calories and contained more calcium so we wouldn't have to take so many. Other then that, I think they are a great alternative to the others.
