Hi elisa here's what I use: chewable calcium citrate w/ vitamin d, meyers has a good price $4.39. Gnc hair,skin & nail vitamin b complex w/b-12 liquid I found out from my dr that my vitamin d is low so I will be taking extra pills. I hope this helps

My doc says Citrate. I got chewable tablets from The Vitamin Shoppe. If you don't have one in your area, you can order from their website. While you CAN take the pills, chewable is recommended because of the way our pouches are designed...they don't absorb/breakdown the pill form properly. This is the kind I use... http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=TL-1378 I do believe they have other flavors as well.

I take Viactives chewables, they are wonderful and taste like candy. Each one is 500mg of Calcium and I take 3 a day. Both my dietican and surgeon recommeded them. The cheapest place to buy them is Costco. They come in a few flavors..choc, carmel, orange and I have seen a strawberry one. The choc and orange are my favorite. Best of luck Robin

I am taking citracal calcium citrate petites with vitamin d...2 in the morning and 2 at night. So far my calcium and vitamin d levels are great!!! Good luck!! Hugs Judy
