Q: How many mg of calcium, can't find the info
submitted by Lbsch - 8 years ago
A: 400 mg calcium per 2 caplets (label directions imply that you should take 4 caplets per day). Can confirm bottle label matches "label info" under "about this item" section for this website.
submitted byHMoney - 8 years agoA: 200 mg. The recommended dosage is two pills, for a total of 400 mg.
submitted byEG Product Expert - 6 years agoBrand expertA: 200 mg. The recommended dosage is two pills, for a total of 400 mg. I find them much easier to take than the "full-size" Citrical, and your body can absorb only 500 mg of calcium at a time anyway.

submitted by Majaen - 9 years ago

Good calcium
Needed to find a good calcium supplement, and I chose this one because of it being "petite" sized tablets. They're not really that petite in my view because they are no smaller than my other vitamins, but I didn't have any trouble swallowing them. They are working effectively because my newest lab showed my calcium levels are good. I will buy these again.

Disappointed in delivery!
The product itself is very good. However, how it was delivered was sloppy!! It seemed it was dropped in haste on the driveway. It would've been very easy for someone to come and take it. fortunate that the day it was delivered was sunny and clear, but had it been raining, I would've contacted Target immediately. There's a covered porch at the home where all other Target products have been delivered. Extremely dissatisfied!!

Easy to swallow!
These pills are relatively smaller and easy to swallow. Compared to my multivitamin, these are definitely smaller. I appreciate these have D3. It’s one less bottle to store, and one less pill I need to swallow

Life changing!
Love the fact that I don’t literally choke on the petites. The large ones got stuck in my throat and I ended up almost passing out.

NOT PETITE
If you're looking for something easier to swallow, Citrical "Petites" are not it. They are basically the same size as the typical 600 mg calcium capsule but contain only 200 mg.. (Is this where the "petite" comes in?) You would have to take three of these to equal one 600 mg capsule.

Much smaller than other calcium pills
Finally a smaller calcium pill. Thank you! I’ve been terrible about taking calcium pills in the past because not only did they upset my stomach, they also were hard to swallow. I don’t experience either of those issues with these.

Misleading advertising
Manufacturer changed the size, now says big tablets are Petite "Relative to the size of the MAXIMUM PLUS" monster pills. The change is only noted in very fine print that is likely to be overlooked, especially by older customers. I've used this product for years, but will no longer purchase.Shame on Bayer.

Petite?
I was a little surprised by the size, even after reading the reviews. But they are surprisingly easy to swallow. They have a smooth coating, and while they are not very wide nor very thick.

False Advertising
I, too, was deceived by your description. Two questions: 1. Do you read these reviews? 2. Will you change the size of these pills?

Petites are not petite!
This pill is not petite. I took a picture of this pill (left) and the Citracal Slow Release. As you can see, it's fairly big. Love how this is making my bones stronger, but hope they'll create a smaller pill

Easier to swallow
I finished one bottle of this vitamin. I specifically bought it because it said Petite pills and I have trouble swallowing most vitamins. I agree with other reviewers that the pill is NOT small BUT its elongated shape is different than most and for me it is easier to swallow.

Less calcium and smaller than Max Plus version
As others have said, “petites” is bigger than expected. It is smaller and thinner than the maximum plus version of citracal. It also has less calcium and vitamin D per pill. Pictured both next to a regular Tylenol (red/blue pill). Next picture is comparing ingredients of max (on the right) to petites (on the left).

Pill is not petite
What a shame that these Citracal petites are not really "petite". They're still quite large and sometimes get stuck in my throat. Why can't you make a truly smaller pill with Calcium Citrate? I'd much rather take a couple small pills instead of gagging on one large pill.

Too Large and Difficult to Swallow
These pills are large and difficult to swallow. I agree with the other reviewers - in that they are not petite enough. I am going to waste an entire bottle of these.
