Your Experiences, The Pros and Cons of Calcichew or Calcium Citrate Supplements? Which do you prefer to take?

[Alternatively]

I have been taking 1,000 mg of calcium citrate tablets daily, these supplements come in capsules of 100mg of elemental calcium each, therefore I’m taking 10 spaced throughout the day. My GP says why not take Calcichew 500mg twice a day instead?

I’m hesitant because they are calcium carbonate. Have you taken these?

I’d really appreciate hearing what you think about them please?

Well for me calcium carbonate was awful. It felt like concrete in my gut. I've never seen a gp since diagnosis, only the practice nurse, who wasn't happy I said no more calcium carbonate. Someone on here mentioned the calcium tabs from Together health, derived from seaweed I think. I have been trying diet alone. But struggle to get enough in unless intake is mostly dairy. I think I will try these alternatives as top ups. I'm still having gut pain tho, it may be the alendronic acid. I've lost faith in all gp services. I feel they don't care

Hi, I was unable to to tolerate all the usual supplements then found.

Natures Way Calcium Gummies these also include Vitamin D so killing 2 birds with one stone do to speak!!

They are available to buy from many places but I found it was best to buy from

Natures Way own web site in bulk. ( not the cheapest but in my opinion the best never is)

Maybe you could take a look x
