I feel from all of the feed back I have received the one with the added minerals does a better job. It sounds as though you were doing okay with the pink and white box. I would not get discouraged with the slight relaps this is something that has happened to a few. If you go up to 3 tablets a day you might be more satisfied. You can also find store brands with the same ingredients and the purple and white box at a cheaper price just read the label. It takes some a little while to get adjusted so don't give up. Let me know if I can help. I am the person who brought this info about the calclium to the board last October 1998 and I have been doing great for over a year with the calcium with every meal. Sometimes I get by on two a day but if I eat out I always take the 3 a day.Linda
