I am happy with all of my vitamins except for the Calcium Citrate. I got the Twinlab Calcium Citrate Wafers from the Vitamin Shoppe and they are absolutely disgusting!  I am supposed to take them 3 times per day.  What Calcium Citrate do you take?  I can swallow things easily so it doesn't have to be chewable.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I use Citracal Petites which I get at Walmart. They aren't chewable but are easy to swallow.

I take Celebrate Calcium plus 500 3x/day. I tried taking a pill form by Twin Labs, and I have a very hard time taking large pills. I felt good on them, but it would take a while for me to take them without gagging. 

EDIT: They are chewable, but I think they also have a pill form.

I take the CVS version of citrical petites and buy them when it buy one get one free. They are much easier to swallow that the regular citrical.

Mostly generic calcium citrate tablets.  I use Upcal D, which is a powder, about once a day.  I really like the Bariatric Advantage caramel chews and both lemon and chocolate  Calcet creamy bites, but those are expensive so I don't buy them often.

As I peruse OH I am taking my Bariatric Advantage Caramel Chewy Bites. I LOVE them and actually feel like I am having a sweet treat twice a day. I happened to sign up for regular delivery when they were buy two get one free, so I still get that price and free shipping. They do send out free samples if you ask.

Hahaha - Yeah I still have some of the same Chewables cause I as getting nauseated from them taking them for so long.  I take the above pills (Citracal Calcium Citrate) but suggest going for the Petites as the bigger one's you have to cut in half and they are harder to swallow. :(
