I love the raspberry chewable Viactiv! There, I said it. They taste amazing. It's hard to tell that you're chewing a vitamin, it really does taste like candy. The problem? As a post-op bariatric patient, I researched and realized that these are made from calcium carbonate instead of calcium citrate, which, due to the type of surgery I had, I just don't absorb these little stinkers as well as the citrate, so I had to stop taking them. But oh, they are tasty.

I actually asked my doctor about a vitamin that I could take that was easy to take because all the vitamins I have seen or taken are hard to swallow. She suggested the Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. She said by taking these, you won't even think you are taking a vitamin. She was right. They are so tasty and easy to digest.
