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. 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 byDahlia - 8 years agoA: 200 mg. The recommended dosage is two pills, for a total of 400 mg.

Q: What size is the pill?
submitted by Majaen - 9 years ago
A: I measured 13mm x 10mm x 8mm (or approximately 0.5" x 0.4" x 0.3"). I think these pills have the same girth as the Citracal Maximum pills, but are shorter.
submitted byHMoney - 9 years agoA: Approx 1/2" by (2 lines more than 1/4") - they are a little fluffier in height - like a pillow. A lot easier to swallow than a normal size calcium pill.

NOT PETITE
3 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Experienced Cook - 25 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.

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?

Texasjen - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.

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

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

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

Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
McAwesome - 1 year ago
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).

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.

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.

There is nothing "petite" about the calcium+ D supplement. It is a large white pill. In fact very large. Petite us a v.ery deceptive description
No vitamin K? Petites could still be smaller.

Vitamin K is very important to have in conjunction with calcium. Why is this not included, and if it is, it is not listed on the label. Also, while I am glad to have found your petite version they still can on occasion get stuck in my throat. Not as bad ad your regular size but still quite scary.

I actually really like these. I did take them with a snack they didn’t upset my stomach. I normally get an upset belly with calcium vitamins but these were great. I would buy again

I was using the smaller REAL petite size daily, and suddenly when I bought the petite, they were large, but still called petite on the label. I bought it months ago, with most left in it, because I have trouble swallowing the large size. I will look for another supplement that is the same size as your ORGINAL petite, since I need to continue calcium supplement. VERY disappointed.
The only calcium I'll buy.

These are the calcium you need if you take PPI’s for gerd or reflux. Others don’t absorb the same. Smaller than most calcium, so easier to swallow.
