I like the chewables because they are just one pill at a time. but for the price, you can't beat these.

I gave this a four because the size is a little bigger than I would have liked. It seems that most calcium pills are quite large unless you have to take 6 to 8 (and those just fill up my pouch).However, they do dissolve quickly. So for once a day I take two of these. They didn't make me sick, but I felt full for about a half hour when I took them with my other pills and water. Then I take one of the calcet calcium bites the second part of the day. The calcets I would take all the time if they weren't so pricey. Taking one calcet a day with two of these once a day stretches the dollar and accomplishes the task.

While they seem to dissolve fairly quickly, they are bigger than I expected.

I didn't like the taste of any of the chewable calcium options and didn't like the price of the Calcet bites and eventually decided I really didn't care for the taste of the Calcet bites either.



When I first received these, I was surprised at their size. Somewhere I'd read that they were small but they'd only be considered small to a non-Gastric Bypass person. Each pill is a little larger than a Tylenol capsule.



You'll probably want to split the pills until you're six to twelve months past surgery. I have always taken mine while I'm drinking my protein drink (Isopure Zero Carb).

Good balanced vitamin plan, I use the multi, the iron, and the calcium. they are well tolerated and cause me a lot less GI upset than regular vitamins. I am pleased and plan to use this brands supplements for life. don't take the iron and calcium at the same time. the calcium will block some of the iron absorption I hated chewable vitamins, not being fond of sweet tarts. I have seen some people complain these calcium are too large. they are not larger than normal for calcium tablets, but if swallowing pills is difficult, try the chewables-?

I wanted the ease of taking a pill to get my calcium & it said these were small. They were not small. They made me sick the first time I took them and this was the first thing to make me sick since my surgery. I will have to try something different.
