Experiences with Calcichew D3

Because I haven't had any milk or milk products (yoghurt etc.) for years, I had a DEXA. On the basis of the outcome I had to start taking D3 calci chews. I didn't think much of it because, basically speaking, I was worried that I would end up with arteriosclerosis. Eight years on the result of the new DEXA was disappointing… So I have to have these horrible chewy tablets again. Yeah, you could ...

contradictory advice. After a gastric bypass you aren't really allowed to eat any fat but I was told by the pharmacist to have my calci chew D3 with something fatty because this helps the vitamin D3 be absorbed better into your body. Also, my dose isn't given in the list above - I have 500 mg/400 IE and it's not there. And I don't have osteoporosis but I've been given it to prevent osteoporosis.

Got really bad osteoporosis. 6 broken bones in the past 4 years. 1 complicated leg break; 2 during the 3rd operation a bone broke. (2 extra screws); 3. during the 4th operation a smaller bone broke. (1 extra screw); 2 lots of spontaneous vertebrae breaks (shrunk 4 cm.); 6. stubbed my foot, little tow broke. Also have a prolia injection twice a year for this.

Taken these tablets for almost 2 years. Big pills like effervescent ones that you have to chew on until they are small enough to swallow. They taste like chalk but with quite a pleasant lemon flavour. They are also quite crumbly, but that makes chewing them easier. And the new tub they come in is easier to open, which is important if you are really exhausted from chemo.

Apart from the active ingredients, the tablet consists mainly of sweeteners: aspartame, isomalt, sorbitol and sucrose. All bad for your health and make it taste disgusting. And you have to chew it! Yuck!
