I was not getting enough calcium on a regular basis so I started using the Viactic calcium chews. I only have the chocolate but I know they come in caramel and another flavor or two as well. They are only 20 calories per chew and each has 50% of your daily calcium, plus Vitamins D and K. I eat one during work as my "treat." They are not mind-blowingly amazing tasting but I defintely think they are tasty. Anyhoo, just thought I would share!

    I have used Viactiv before. They are good but I found a better way to get my calcium in a liquid supplement form.

    Viactiv caused kidney stones for me. I couldn't metabolize what was in there and ended up having 4 surgeries to get a staghorn stone out and then for them to clean out the other kidney.

    Yikes...I am very sorry to hear that! Should I not be using them? I just have one a day. Is that what you had as well? I'm nervous now...I have never heard of any evil consequences!
