In general I am good about getting my 2 multis with iron in, mainly because take one when I get up and the other before bed if I didn't get it in sometime during the day. My issue is with my calcium. I've been taking these big ole horsepills - 6 of them - to get my 2000mg in a day. Let's just say, most days they don't get taken, horrible, I know

I was going to order the Calcet Creamy Bites, but while I was at Vitamin Shoppe with my mom today I saw these:

Supplement Facts
Serving Size 1 CHOCOLATE
Servings Per Container 30

	Amount Per Serving	% Daily Value

CALORIES	35	N/A*

CALORIES FROM FAT	25	N/A*

TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES	3 Gm	N/A*

DIETARY FIBERLESS THAN	1 Gm	N/A*

TOTAL SUGARS	2 Gm	N/A*

FAT	3 Gm	N/A*

SATURATED FAT	2 Gm	N/A*

VITAMIN D3 (AS CHOLICALCIFEROL)	250 IU	100%

CALCIUM (AS CALCIUM CITRATE)	500 Mg	100%

VITAMIN K	37 Mcg	N/A*

I think they look okay and OMG, they taste like real dark chocolate. I just want to make sure they're not in that "too good to be true" category.

Yeah, those are fine. It's nice to know that vitamin shoppe has a new option for us.
