Lost in the calcium world.......SOS !

I have had it with the liquid minty calcium citrate.  I am looking for something easier to use at work.  I like the bariatric advantage chews however was looking for a different option.  I purchased calcium citrate in pill form but it only has 300 mg per pill which means I would need to take 6 per day to get in all my calcium.  Plus they are quite large even when I split them in two as I am only almost three weeks out.

I looked at the Caltrate but its calcium carbonate which I understand is not as easy to absorb into our bodies as calcium citrate. 

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

Yes I am in the same boat...the liquid does not agree with me. The pills are huge, even when split...and have to take way to many pills in a day :( So frustrated with the calcium situation!

citracal and natures way both are brands I have bought, the citracal is about 500mg with our required D and the natures way has 350mg so I take 1.5 twice daily with a seperate d3.  Almost all well stocked pharmacies have citracal and many health food stores have natures way.  

Have you tried swallowing them whole? I been taking the 300mg citrate pills. I take 3 twice a day. The first time i Take them I also take 2 x1000 IU  vitamin D3 as well Not everyone is able to swallow them whole that early out. Maybe my son is right, I DO have a cyborg stomach lol. 

I take the Jamieson calcium chews, 3 a day, it is what my centre recommended.
