Best Naturals Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D-3 240 Tablets (240 Count (Pack of 1))

I thoroughly investigate dietary supplements before purchasing, and was pleased that Best Naturals tests both their raw materials and finished products, and conducts quality audits. I feel confident taking their Calcium Citrate, knowing I'm getting exactly what I purchased. The tablets are a little large but they are relatively easy to swallow. Definitely a good value.

Great product!

Exactly as advertised great product

These work ad they should, as far as I can tell. They are HUGE, and it hurts to swallow them. If they get stuck in the mouth or throat, they don't leave behind that horrible chemical taste other pills do. They always come with about 1/3 of them broken or turned to powder.

Just right

Basic calcium. Huge oblong pills that are sometimes hard for me to swallow but I need that extra calcium. If you have trouble swallowing meds, I don’t recommend them

This calcium is a good quality calcium.

Choking hazard! The large calcium tablets have a rough/bumpy coating that makes them hard to swallow. After getting more than one stuck I have been reduced to chewing them.

The most common form of calcium available on Amazon, in pharmacies, or prescribed by doctors, is Calcium Carbonate. However, Calcium Carbonate can prove significantly problematic for people like me who have a history of stomach problems (e.g. stomach ulcers, highly acidic stomachs, reflux, heartburn, indigestion, etc...) - it makes all your problems much worse, on a daily basis. Trust me ! So, after researching, I found that Healthline, WebMD, and the NIH, all recommend Calcium Citrate for those with stomach problems as it is exponentially more gentle on the stomach. I take my two daily tablets as follows : I leave them to fully dissolve in a little water, then I add Live yoghurt and milk, stir the whole lot producing a "Calcium Lassi" (or "Calcium Ayran" for those who only know the Turkish equivalent) and I have that with my meal. Not a single hit of stomach problems. I like this Best Naturals brand because the daily recommended value (2 pills of Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D) gives you 54% of your daily recommended Calcium and Vitamin D - so no overdosing, leaving you to top up your daily intake of Calcium and Vitamin D through food such as yoghurt, milk, cheese, etc... I think this half-dosing is a very well thought out formula from Best Naturals.

This is the most effective type of calcium supplement. I can’t believe the nhs prescribe calcium carbonate…yes, I can, it’s cheaper yet if you do the research you’ll see carbonate is poorly absorbed and it also caused me to have mild skin reactions. I had osteoporosis, thanks to a new wonder drug plus this, vitamin k2 and lots of dairy in my diet I now have osteopenia rather than osteoporosis, it’s probably the drug but my latest Dexa scan results showed a huge (30%) improvement in bone density which I am certain is due to hitting the calcium from all angles.

Product seems fine, I'm happy with my purchase

After having a nightmare time with another brand of Calcium tablets I bought these and I am so happy I did. Yes, these are absolutely MASSIVE pills. But they do have a slight coating on them allowing them to be swallowed easier. A much better choice for us.

Disappointed the USA-sourced tablet's quality control seems significantly lower than previous purchases. Approx 5% are broken halves or fragments, which never used to be the case. This is important as value of any coating is destroyed. Will be finding alternate supplier once current purchases consumed.
