    Default Need help finding calcium citrate

    Can anyone tell me what brand of calcium citrate you take and where you buy them? I tried the search box but nothing came up. I bought Citracal thinking it was with citrate but it wasn't. You can buy them in a huge horse tablet, but I need the one that is a gummy with vitamin D. Sorry to be so picky, but that's what I'm supposed to take. Thank you so much!

    I used the Building Blocks bariatric ones online, they were chewable and the orange was really good. I used them early on. I don't think you will find gummies or chewables over-the-counter. Now I just take the big Calcium Citrate tablets from Walmart.

    Thank you! They are so huge, do you think they will dissolve completely?

    OMG, your post made me look at my calcium and I'm taking the wrong kind! My mom passed away this summer and had a ton of it, so I've been taking hers. I finally read the label and it is not calcium citrate. Hope I didn't hurt anything by taking the wrong one since August.

    So sorry about your mom. I'm like you, since August I've been taking the Citracal thinking it had the citrate in it, but it doesn't. I know how you feel, hoping it won't hurt anything. I ordered mine from Amazon, and was convinced I had the right ones and after I found out I wasn't, I nearly panicked, that's why I was looking for names of the correct kind. Wow, sometimes we think we're doing exactly what we need to, but find out we're not.
