Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Is there such a thing as CHEWABLE calcium citrate? I've been taking Viactives which are Calcuim Carbonate. The Dr said something was better than nothing! The Citrical pills are HUGE! Any suggestions? ~Mandy Post Op Lap RNY w/ Gallbladder Removal December 2, 2003 333/289.5/175 Dr. Herron Mercy Medical Center, NY I really need to start taking another source of calcium,I've been taking four sugar free Tums since the day I came home ,I tried the caltrate chewable and I just cant stand them,Is there another good chewable I can take or something else that's very good as a calcium source?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 check the web site .... www.wildoats.com They have stores all over the place. Yes, there are chewable calcium citrate wafers. I'm in Las Vegas and buy mine at Wild Oats. You may want to find a local 'natural foods' type store. Whole Food, Henry's or something like that if you have those stores will generally carry this item. They also carry liquid which is easy to take 2 tablespoons a day and I take it straight, but it can be mixed with juice too. Tums is a quicky source of calcium and it's very inexpensive... The thing is, that because it's a carbonate type, it is not as easlily absorbed and you can always chew more. I take this as a quick easy fix at times, and to trade off from the other sources I use too. Good luck! Re: Digest Number 1802 Is there such a thing as CHEWABLE calcium citrate?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Viactive is for anybody..... and it is the same product as TUMS except it's loaded with sugar and it's chewy. If you like to take the calcium carbinate, take tums, it's cheaper. Re: Digest Number 1802 I think viactive is for women only Allan Lap Rny 12-15-03 312 / 265 / ?
