I've tried many ways to get better bone health through increased calcium intake. This is the best I've found thus far to combine price/taste/consistency.

I bought these when I ran out of the calcium tablets I usually take and they were on sale. I liked the taste and texture at first but after a few days, I was tired of them. They are very sweet and I started disliking the flavor after a couple. My husband took the rest of them and he did not mind them at all.

It is a different way to take your calcium supplement.

They were too sweet for my taste.

They have finally taken the bitterness out of good bone health by making these calcium chews. They have a sweet taste and they work like any other calcium supplement.

Date Purchased: 5/3
Price Paid: $11
Recommend: Yes

Pros:

Great taste, no bad after taste, chewable calcium pill.

Cons:

Not for Diabetes patients, 20 cal is a bit much per chew.

Try the Caramel!

My partner uses these daily and I partake in them every once in a while too. We buy the caramel flavor. They taste like candy and also contain vitamins D and K. You can also get them for a good price at Costco if you are a member. Great product and I would recommend to anyone wanting to add calcium to their diet.

I love the raspberry chewable Viactiv! There, I said it. They taste amazing. It's hard to tell that you're chewing a vitamin, it really does taste like candy. The problem? As a post-op bariatric patient, I researched and realized that these are made from calcium carbonate instead of calcium citrate, which, due to the type of surgery I had, I just don't absorb these little stinkers as well as the citrate, so I had to stop taking them. But oh, they are tasty.
