 I need opinions on which one is better? I'm torn between the two.

I think it's really a matter of personal preference.  Watch the "serving size" on the container & just make sure you take the recommended amount total.  I made this mistake early on -- you need to take 2 calcium tabs to get the full serving size with most pills. 

Personally, I take the full size citrical, so that I can take fewer pills.  But, I don't have issues swallowing them.  If you have issues swallowing pills, consider the upcal d.

I agree with above poster... use personal preference...

I personally have issues swallowing pills so I have opted to use Celebrate's Citrate Calcet bites.
I tried the Petites and my oh my.... those are still horse pills... they irritated my pouch.

 Yeah I absolutely hate swallowing pills and I'm on quite enough prescription meds already. I think I'm gonna go with upcal d so I can mix it in my liquids and kill 2 birds with one stone.

For me it's the Upcal D.  I have used it right from the beginning.  I dump it in my coffee, yogurt whatever and it's done.  It has never upset my stomach. Now alot of people say it's too gritty for them and again it's all a personal choice.  Try them both and see which one does the best for you.  Jane
