Did not dissolve well
I couldn’t get this to dissolve completely. It was chalky and difficult to drink immediately post op from SADI-S. I’m planning to try again when I’m further out.

Best Summer Calcium Supplement
I have tried so many different calcium products since having gastric bypass. I would rank these powder packets 2nd after the ProCare Calcium Dark Chocolate. The Mocktails/Dinner Mint/Cinnamon Roll chews came in 3rd. The chocolate can't be shipped in the summer due to melting risk so this is a great alternative. They're all fantastic products and worth trying.

Great product
I was concerned the first time I tried to use this product because it did not completely dissolve as I expected it to. After reading more about it, I learned that it isn’t suppose to dissolve completely. I now pour a little bit on my tongue at a time and it works GREAT!
