I actually like the Citracal product bcuz at least the label is accurate. I

used to cut them in half. You could probably quarter them if you've got the

patience. They were so dense tho, thay constipated me and I switched to a

product I like much better; it's TwinLab's calcium citrate w/magnesium. Those

are in capsule form, so once the shell dissolves, the calcium is readily

released for absorption. I take 10 caps a day, to get 1500mg elemental (pure)

calcium.

I bought a bottle of Tropical Oasis liquid calcium....it's 1200mg as calcium

citrate. Anyone ever use this stuff successfully? I'm just trying to cut

down on pills. I hate huge calcium pills. It's in kind of a yogurt base,

you have to refrigerate it after it's open.

Look on the label and see if it has the USP trademark. If the USP

trademark is there, it is supposed to completely dissolve in 45

minutes. You might want to try a capsule form. Capsules usually

dissolve in 10 minutes. If you want a list of providers of calcium

citrate in capsule form, email me privately and I will give it to you.

Try calcium citrate capsules. Much easier to swallow. May have to take a

bunch a day, though. If you're doing liquids or powders (or any form, for

that matter) make sure that you are ingesting the right amount of pure

calcium. Some labels the mgs given are for calcium citrate, which gives you

not enuf calcium if you go by those mgs.
