I went on line to look at the ReViva at Costco and it is on sale until Sept 11th for 9.99 a bottle and with shipping is still a tiny bit better than if bought in the store.  So since they no longer carry it in stores I went ahead and ordered 12 bottles.  I also looked at the reviews and almost ALL of them were complaining about it no longer being available in the stores.  Hopefully it will eventually come back.  Just wanted to let yall know!

Thanks you! I will order a few more bottles. I am also currently trying the new Citrical Calcium + D Slow Release 1200. It has 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, 1200 mg of elemental calcium, 80 mg of magnesium. (Note that this is made up of both calcium citrate and calcium carbonate, but apparently there is enough that the elemental amount is 1200, in 2 pills!) Supposedly it releases the calcium slowly throughout the day for efficient absorption.

 But it's calcium carbonate, not calcium citrate.

It's both, a mixture of carbonate and citrate, but probably more carbonate since it's listed first. Supposedly the slow release helps with absorption of the carbonate. However, I agree and probably will not continue using it after I finish this bottle. I've been taking just one of them (600 mg of elemental calcium) to supplement the 1000 mg of citrate I get from the Reviva. ..

Liquid calcium citrate, with a berry flavor.  Great stuff!

Do any of you use the ReViva multi? I have been weighing the option of a liquid multi and was wondering about the flavor.. It is $22 a bottle, so too pricey to buy just to taste test, lol..

 I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
