I need more calcium. Any alternative?

As I stated previously, the bottle I received is NOT the same as the photo shown. The ones I received are sour, my previous bottles were delicious and sweet. I recommend these in the varigaited flavor, not this sour, solid color bottle I received. And it doesn't expire until 6/17 so definitely not outdated.

I take four gummies per day. Two in the morning, two at night. I've tried other things and they're just awful alternatives compared to these.

For a gummy vitamin, I feel like this is the best one out there. You can get more calcium if you purchase pills. Personally, I hate pills. And I love these.

Any dairy item has calcium in it. Sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk and even soy milk have calcium. Most are available in 'light' with less fat. The chewables are the best and easiest way for me - I have trouble swallowing pills and these are delish.

They have a version that includes dha, but I noticed the calcium amount was lower than this one. So it makes sense to just pair this with a separate dha supplement.

Haven't had Nature's Made Calcium for some time and cannot answer the question. Good luck

If you take 2 paks a day then yes it has enough calcium. But if you only take 1 pak a day, then you will need a little more. I take 1 pak and take an extra 250mg of calcium citrate before bed.

Laura, undoubtedly it would have the same nutritional value if not better. Just check the amt of calcium (on the label) which states that 1 tsp = 1000mg of calcium and compare that to your bone calcium to get the equiv measurement. If your kitty is eating bones from his food that would be the best, but if you get bone calcium from powder then there are different forms of calcium some more absorbable than others. If it were me I would give him the seaweed calcium which comes with other trace minerals.

Yes there is. It contains 250 mg, which is 25 % of Daily Requirement. However, if you require a true Calcium supplement, I strongly recomend taking "Citracal", Calcium Citrate Formula + D3. Take 2 caplets twice a day. # 1 Doctor Recommended Brand. Good Health to you. Kevin J Davis

I guess distilled water would help. Perhaps a tiny bit of muriatic acid to disolve the calcium?

Although there are reports that strontium is helpful, I reversed osteoporosis without using it. Are you also testing your pH and taking the calciums to bring it into the normal range? For more information on pH, you may want to read the books of Dr. A.F. Beddoe who is continuing the research of Dr. Carey Reams.

Please verify the information with your pediatrician that I posted prior to this for some reason it posted before I finished writing. I would stay away from the artificial sweetener in the Kirkland brand. You may also verify the information at the National Institutes of Health - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3476526/ and http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/calcium.html and http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/bonehealth/conditioninfo/Pages/children.aspx I hope this helps. As always please consult your physician and or nurse practitioner before starting any type of vitamin supplementation.

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product.I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

Try using soy milk, almond milk, or even Lactaid milk. I can't use regular milk but I have found other alternatives that still provide just as much protein and calorie count.

Absolutely, I definitely suggest this. My doctor once told me if I take one vitamin, make it Calcium. I ordered the petites for my 24 year old daughter.

I am not sure you just have to make sure the calcium you are taking is the citrate form if you have had gastric surgery. I also ensure they are sugar free. I have not been able to find another brand in this form.

Agreed - kind of hard to buy a calcium supplement that doesn't bother to list the calcium content :)

Hi there! Thank you for your question. This supplement does not contain any Calcium, just the Vitamin D-3. We hope this helps!

That's a question best answered by your medical practitioner. How do you know you don't need calcium with out a bone density test. My doctor advised me that as we get older or diet we need to keep our vitamine levels up in the normal range, and that requires testing. I would never diet without consulting my doctor to help me in my progress. I have a family member who dieted and let her potassium level to drop so low she had a stroke and nearly died. Now she suffers from permanent brain damage. ALWAYS keep your doctor advised of any diet program you may want to try, and get check ups as you go. ALWAYS!
