hi Ruth Ann

i dont know it all for sure but from what i have learned and been told by

many online and in person .. we need specifically calcium citrate

it is easier for our bodies to absorb .. the other calcium carbonate is not

as easily absorbed .. i have been taking the Caltrate Plus also. Since its

not enough i take 4-5 per day .. this way i am at least getting in

something ..

i personally am picky on taste but getting better. i tried Bariatric

Advantage Calcium Citrate but to be honest didn't like the strange way it

breaks up

in your mouth .. not sure how to explain it but it is just strange for me.

i

have been asking at different pharmacies if they carry Calcium Citrate

Chewables but so far no one has. I have seen it once in a vitamin store but

its a

HUMONGOUS glass bottle and it is very expensive .. the pills are HUGE too,

and

you take like 5 a day so it only lasts like 2 weeks. I am trying to find

something locally that at least lasts one month.. dont know if i can ..

anyways just sharing what i know with you .. hope it helps you some.

Hi Lydia,

I think you are better off taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement like the

DualTabs featured here:

Four a day provides the recommended allowance for calcium, magnesium, and a

whole host of other vitamins and minerals.
