Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Make sure the viactiv has Vitamen D and K too or the calcium wont get absorbed. I take a different brand from walmart thats cheaper and tastes better IMO than the viactiv and you are right, they are good. Like chocolate candy. I m three a day yummy stuff Sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 The ones I saw in the store had 4g sugar each. Do the kind you take have less sugar, or is that amount OK? I bought some chewable wafers and they are pretty nasty. I'll choke them down if I have to. Maybe I'll crush them and mix them into pudding or something. The chews looked pretty good, but the sugar scared me. in MI I have been having a hard > > time getting all my calcium each day.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 No - I don't think that is high. And thanks again for the calcium tip. Sue ---- Mike Tune wrote: ============= I avoid sugar like the plague.......So I feel like 4g spread out three times a day is ok....at least for me....A total of 12g spread through the day does not seem high to me.......I dont eat all three together, does anybody else think this is to high??

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have not actually had the surgery yet but one of the informational sessions that I went to they said not to use the Viactiv because it had wax in it that could accumulate. But that might just be their opinion. Just thought I would put that out there. C. > > I have been having a hard time getting all my calcium each day.
