I've been taking a liquid calcium I hate it. Someone please tell me if you take a chewable forn and what it's called and where to buy it. thanks

I take Celebrate Vitamins' Calcium plus 500. I've ordered it online through their website, and I take three a day.

I like the Bariatric Advantage caramel calcium chews.  I also like the lemon and chocolate Calcet creamy bites from Celebrate.  I don't use either regularly because they are so expensive, though.

I take Twinlabs Bariatric Support Calcium Wafers (chewable).  I bought them at the Vitamin Shoppe.

I use a combination of the Upcal D powder (I mix it in my morning hot chocolate), calcium capsules, and then either the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews (I like the raspberry) or the Calcet Creamy Bites.  Celebrate also makes calcium citrate chews (I tried the berry flavor, but liked the raspbery BA chews a little better). The chewables are all pretty good (I hated the BA chewable lozenges, though), but they are too expensive to use for all three daily doses.

So no matter which of these I buy I still take it 3 times a day right?

You need 1500-2000 mg a day, taken in doses of about 500 mg at a time.  How many to take would depend on how many mg is in one tablet or chew or whatever.

Kelly,

Since you are so well researched on this maybe you can tell me if my memory is correct.  We can only absorb 500 mg Calcium at a time.... is this correct?  So that is why we have to take it 3 or 4 times a day?

Thanks.
