If you can't stomach traditional calcium tablets, this is the product for you. Crosses the boundary between medicine and confectionery categories and highly recommended to those aversive to taking medicinal supplements such as the elderly or the young.
Date Purchased: 03/2010
Price Paid: $9
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Great taste (slightly milky and minutely chalky), great looks (packaging, branding and design)
Cons:
Not cheap (compared to independent labels)
Can be addictive! I can't seem to stop my children taking it! |

Due to her small frame and low weight, my wife is at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. her doctor recommended a calcium supplement, and to be honest the pill form made her stomach ache. So, she decided to try Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews

I have been taking Viactiv's calcium supplement, in chocolate, since I had a hysterectomy. It is an easy, effective way to replenish the body's calcium, especially after menopause. Osteoporosis is prominent in my family and I'm doing everything in my power to prevent it. My Doctor recommended these, since I hate large pills.
It has a great flavor, much like a softer version of a Tootsie Roll!
Date Purchased: 10/08
Price Paid: $9
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
It tastes good and, for me, has been Doctor recommended.
Cons:
I don't like the packaging. Anyone can get into it, and I have children. Although they should be old enough to know better, anything that looks like chocolate is fair-game to them, so I have to keep it away. |
