Calcium Citrate D Petites Coated Tablets Ea 200 Count | Highly Absorbable Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D3, Compare VS. Citracal® +D3 Petites, Bone Strength & Density Support

Purchase these for my dad because the regular calcium tablets are humongous. This was comparably petite to the Citracal petites. However, these are round and smaller, but they’re super thick so it’s almost like swallowing a block. Unfortunately, my dad didn’t have his easier time with these as the Citracal petite which are oval and not as thick. With these being a good price, I really hoped they would be the ticket. We’re going to go ahead and use the ones we have, but I won’t be purchasing again. If only they could make these in a oval share that are easier to swallow for elderly people, it would be perfect.

Attached is a picture with other brands next to this one. I've circled this calcium petites brand and included a US currency dime for size reference. My biggest concern was that my 81-year-old father who is vision impaired as well as has dementia would not be able to comfortably take this medicine. I was very happy to see that the size is indeed swell enough that he has no problem taking it and there is no yucky taste as well. I and my children also take them so a variety of ages in our home are able to take it. It's easy to swallow. There's no gritty weird texture. I've never been able to stay consistent with taking calcium because the pills were just so big and difficult and just unenjoyable to take and yet a woman of my age. I definitely needs to stay on top of taking my calcium and so I'm really happy that I found this product and so far I'm very pleased and I will continue to purchase this. It is by far the smallest and easiest calcium that I have yet found and it also includes D3 which is always an added bonus.

Calcium Citrate Helps keep bones strong. Recently I Broke my rib and with help of this meds I hope to healing is gone be faster.

NO complaints with the company or delivery. The product is just not REALLY petite. The tablets are likely are indeed smaller than full size and they do say "coated" but they are fat tablets - 1/4" high. I had a bit of trouble swallowing them. It was an experiment since the caplets I usually order were on back order, but I'm waiting for the caplets. Those are also still sort of large but coated caplets go down easier. For me.

I've been taking these same pills for a long time and I can't remember having such a hard time swallowing them until recently. I could be wrong but I feel like they changed the shaped. I can hardly swallow them now. Currently looking for something new to take.
