Pamela12Reviewed 11 years agoHarder to swallow than the old calcium citrate 200.
Anyone who thinks the new "miniatures" are easy to swallow had probably not tried the old Calcium Citrate 200, which were thinner and coated making them the only calcium product I didn't have trouble swallowing. By comparison, the new "miniatures" are short and fat, making them difficult to swallow. I will not be buying them again. CVS should go back to the old product.0 users found this review helpful.- Woburn47Reviewed 11 years ago
hard to swallow
CVS calls them miniatures and says they're easier to swallow, but they're actually harder to swallow, because they are fatter (although shorter) than the old ones without vitamin D. CVS should bring back the old 200 mg calcium citrate with no vitamin D. I was a regular customer, but if I find another pharmacy that makes something similar to the old pills, I'll switch.0 users found this review helpful. - LEllen8Reviewed 11 years ago
Harder to Swallow
Although these are shorter tablets, they are thicker than normal. They do not go down easily and one must remember to be careful when taking, especially with the fact that the recommended dosage is 2 per serving!0 users found this review helpful. - SusieQReviewed 11 years ago
hard to swallow
These tablet are not "miniatures" at all. What they did was shorten the previous tablet from 3/4" to 1/2" but nearly double the thickness, so I still find it easy to choke on these because they're so "fat." Of course I couldn't find out the size until I opened the bottle. Also, most supplements mention whether or not magnesium is included but this one didn't until I found "vegetable magnesium stearate" in the fine print. With intestinal trouble, I can't take any magnesium. So, yet another calcium citrate hits the dust. I loved my former CVS calcium citrate with no D3, no magnesium, and in a truly small pill form that was easy enough to swallow. Wish they'd bring it back.0 users found this review helpful. - rfh2001Reviewed 11 years ago
What's a serving?
How many tablets make up a serving? That has a direct bearing on how long 200 tablets will last and how much this supplement costs per day. CVS seems to be pretty haphazard with the product information they provide. Why not just provide the standard nutrition chart from the bottle?0 users found this review helpful. - Yes, I recommendMisskay1Reviewed 11 years ago
Love them
I love the fact that they don't choke me going down like the regular sized calcium pills.0 users found this review helpful. - Yes, I recommendNoviBarbReviewed 11 years ago
Easier to swallow
My local CVS store stopped stocking the miniature CVS brand Calcium Citrate tablets. Don't know why. So much easier to swallow. At least they are available on line...but then I am paying shipping.0 users found this review helpful. - Yes, I recommendRemysMomReviewed 11 years ago
Nice size
I have been recommended by my physician to take calcium supplements because of osteoporosis. I have trouble swallowing the typical calcium supplement because of the large size of the capsule; I frequently end up choking. I have to take more of these to get the same dose but they are much easier to swallow. The large size bottle does last a while.0 users found this review helpful.
