which brand of chewable do you use? I used to use Viatin or something like that but I know there is another one.

please post the name of it so I can look at the ingredients to see if I want to eat this mess.

I don't 3 glasses of milk so I'd rather chew it up if I can.

If you don't want the calories, I would suggest calcium supplements (pills) instead. However, it is always best to get it from foods----and leafy greens actually have more calcium than milk! Also, many products are fortified with it, so you may not even need a supplement!

I need it because i'm 56.

I think you were refering to Viactiv , that's what I use. I find some calcium pills too large to swallow. Can you take pills ?

yes, I'd have to cut them though. My vitamins are as big as the darn calcium/mag pills

That is why I use Viactiv , I literally cannot swallow those calcium pills.Too large.

Wow, if this is you in this picture, you do not look 56! Good for you

lol. Thank you. Yes, that's me and it's only 6 month old picture.

That is impressive---i would have put you in your late 20's, early 30's for sure!

This is a timely thread for me, as one thing I've noticed this past week as I've started monitoring various nutrient levels is that even though I eat quite a bit of yogurt, cheese, spinach, kale, and other dairy and veggies that have good amounts of calcium, I am still consistently under my recommended daily calcium levels, by at least 25%!

I went out this morning and bought a box of the Viactiv chewable calcium and figure that along with the natural sources from food, I will be in the mid-range for my daily recommendations. I just think of it as a daily piece of candy.

I do eat dairy sources like cheese, yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, etc but like LitChick- I wasn't meeting the RDA for calcium so I bought Caltrate vanilla creme chews. Sort of reminds me of Tootsie roll's vanilla flavor. Caltrate also has chocolate truffle and I only got this because it was cheaper than Viactiv.
