good way to get calcium
I have discovered a great way to get extra calcium! I am scared those Viactin chews will get gunked up in my band b/c they are so chewy. Now some place makes these chocolates called Adora Calcium chocolates and they have dark chocolate (which they sayd one peice of dark chocolate a day is good for you b/c of the antioxidants). Anyways, just passing along info on a great find!

Good to know about the Viactin - its just some things I have kind of a 6th sense about and I don't even try. I swear, I look at some things and I just have a gut feeling that it ain't going down!

I take the viactin too, never had a problem. In fact, I feel like I am eating a treat!

Tums have lots of calcium too. I take at least two a day for the stomach acid and calcium.

I take viactin also, just take small bites and it will go down easy.
Caltrate has a chewable tablet as well. Both are good.

Ok, you have convinced me that Viactin is ok - but those Adora chocolates are so dang yummy I might have to stick with them!

I like the Adora ones too. (I got some free samples to try) I just have to get mine ordered now. I don't think anywhere around here carries them.

Any ideas on where I might find them?
