There is a huge buzz happening about these little chews. I have not tried them yet, but I have been told they are amazing.

Calcium Citrate that tastes like dessert – Wow!
After weight loss surgery, many people are required to take a lot of
calcium. At Bariatric Advantage, we recognize that providing different
flavors and forms of this important nutrient helps assure compliance
and makes taking large amounts of calcium much easier. Our Calcium
Citrate Chewy Bites deliver 250 mg of elemental calcium as calcium
citrate in a delicious chew. They also contain 125 IU of vitamin D3 for
healthy absorption. These chews are sugar-free as well, so you don’t
have to worry about getting extra carbs while you get the calcium you
need. Each chew is individually wrapped so you can take them with you
wherever you go.

beth, these were formerly known as Citracal Creamy Bites. all of a sudden, these yummy things were gone from the shelves and we were told by the store management that Citracal’s Creamy Bite line was bought by BA. we were told they’d be back on the shelves in their new packaging last fall. a little late, but what the hey, better late than never. unless they’ve reformulated the taste, chocolate is so-so, nothing to write home about, the caramel was like waxy covered cardboard, but the lemon? yum. it was like enjoying an after dinner treat. i sure hope they didn’t mess around with the flavor of that one.
I was thinking about this and did the math. You’d need two bags per month to get 1000mg per day. I order my multi from BA 3 months at a time, so I’d have to buy 6 bags of calcium at a time – at 9.99 a pop (right now its buy 3 get one free, I know, but if that doesn’t last..) That’s $60 for calcium plus $40 for multi… 4x a year. $400/year – not including the other vitamins I take. Right now I am taking 4 daily citracal plus at $10/bottle… 150 per bottle. Each bottle lasts a little more than a month so I’m spending about half as much for citracal per year. I am not crazy about them but for the difference in price I think I’ll stay with citracal. I won’t even taste the BA ones because I might like them.
Sue –
As far as I know – they have been totally reformulated.
Too. much. math.
You know I don’t even think about those things. I just go for TASTE and quality. LOL.
Although… 🙂 I get ya.
