calcium Tabs

Mine are Calcia 1000mg chewables. As I said, they taste like those candy hearts with writing on them... so basically like chalk, but it's not too bad. If taking Calcium - it is worth taking Vit D as well - Vit D is essential for calcium absorption. As a side note, fat is essential for Vit D absorption, so you should be taking your Vit D and calcium with your "fattier" meals (I take mine with yoghurt at breakfast)

I really like the Calcia ones - they are good value and taste good to me! They are a lemon flavour, but might be a different one to the dishwasher-type you tried LOL. They are only about $15-$16 for 2 months' supply, and they have the highest dosages I've seen so far: 1000mg Calcium + 800iU Vitamin D.

Hope this helps!

I know.. I break mine into six pieces and they still grab on the way down... It takes so long to get them down to with having to wait between gulps of liquid.

I ordered some chewable orange flavoured Calcium and mag off the net... I bought some spearmint straight calcium chews yesterday but they are horrid.. So I take them with milk to kill the taste.

Am going to do a search on the fusion multis tomorrow and see where I can get them from.

These big tablets are a killer getting down.

Yeah I was looking at them and they actually look like they would be pleasant to take. Mine have great nut value but bloody hard to take and taste like bum.

I am thinking of ordering some to take when I have finished choking down this lot.

Trishah

They come in 3 different flavours I think

Strawberry
Tropical
Orange

I got 2 of them and mix it up day to day

Ah ok I just looked them up...they are chewable.. mine arent and are higher in values for the included vitamins... be worth it though if they taste all right

Yeah Griffo 346 i will get some at the end of the month when i see Dr Taylor.

Its the bariatric fusion Trishah,not the cheap ones,lol.

Yeh they are there really good I know they cost a bit but they work

i have fusion... I bought it for 20 bucks at the healthfood store... way higher in everything than centrum

griffo346 is that the fusion multi from oclinic,they were waiting on them coming in last time i was there

I got my multis from my dietitian $65 for a bottle and they last 2 months

no all the ones I have looked at that have decent amounts of anything are like horse tablets. I note that coles has its own chewable multi vitamin... I think its $12 a bottle... dont know what they are like and I didnt check their vit levels either. I have 2 bottles of elephant pessary size multies to get through here first

normally i am hopeless with tablets but these are fine,i need to find a smaller multi,do you know of any.

are they nice tasting Marg

I have a vit D & calcium chewable, citrus flavour,Ostelin make from chemist warehouse

I go the plain chewable ones... then I pretend they are those candy hearts with messages on them that we used to give people on valentines day when I was 6. I find that they try too hard to cover the chalky taste of calcium resulting in horrible flavours.

Any one found a nice tasting chewable calcium tab...preferably with magnesium in it.

I bought a spearmint one today that makes me gag... I have tried a lemon flavoured one that tasted like frigging lemon scented dishwasher freshoner.

I would like a strawberry or orange one...does anyone know of one?

Its getting too expensive to be buying this stuff only to eat one or two and give up and throw them out cos they make you yack in the sink.
