The product title says vegan, yet this says it is derived from cattle. Can someone please clarify this?

Hi, Melissa,Good catch! Apparently the images are reverting back to an older version of the product, so I'll get those - and the description - corrected as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are some answers for you: To clarify, our Living Calcium Advanced is labelled as Vegetarian but not Vegan, as the probiotics which were used to ferment some of the nutrients use dairy as the culture medium. While the Calcium used to be derived from MCHA (bones of cattle), we changed the Calcium source to whole food plant-sourced Calcium from Algae. (The packaging should state that it is "free from crushed rock, limestone, chalk and animal bones.") If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly (email address below) or check out this product on our website: https://www.gardenoflife.com/living-calcium-advanced-bone-density-formula-120-caplets-658010112635. Thanks,Noelle K. Garden of Life findanswers@gardenoflife.com

Seller, where are these sourced and manufactured?

Living Calcium is made in the U.S.A. Based on the large number of ingredients that we use in our products, it is very difficult to specify which country each ingredient was grown. This is also difficult because for one batch the ingredient may be obtained from one country, but another batch may be obtained from another country based on availability, and most importantly that our specific requirements for that ingredient are met. The safety and efficacy of our products are of the utmost concern. All raw materials have strict specifications and their Certificates of Analysis are kept on record, and we test all finished products for heavy metals, microbial growth and pathogenic species such as E. coli and Salmonella. I hope this helps. In Health, Erin M. Garden of Life

Seller, can you let me why the title still says vegan? Is it really vegan? Not according to the producer's website.

Living Calcium is labeled as vegetarian. The product description was inaccurate and has now been corrected, good catch! In Health, Erin M. Garden of Life

It lists the vitamins but what are the ingredients that give those vitamins?

Hello! Living Calcium Advanced is made with easy-to-digest, whole food plant-sourced Calcium from algae that is free from crushed rock, limestone, chalk and animal bones. The Vitamin K complex (including Vitamin K2) is derived from natto (fermented soybeans), and selected ingredients in Living Calcium Advanced are produced through Garden of Lifeâs proprietary Poten-Zyme fermentation process. Living Nutrients, such as those in our Living Calcium Advanced, are better for your body because they are more like food than isolated vitamins, but with guaranteed potency in a whole food source. They contain bioactive components that the body recognizes. I hope this helps, Michael. Thanks, Noelle K. Garden of Life

The product is worth the price

Excellent calcium supplement. This product has all the right ingredients for calcium to be absorbed & effective. I have no trouble swallowing it. This is the only calcium supplement I take will recommend.

Whole food

I love that this calcium is whole foods and has magnesium for absorbtion! Because it's magnesium and calcium in one pill, it's a great prental supplement to take with all the other pills a pregnant woman has to take! 🤪

Too many pills in 1 serving..

I just received these pills today, and I really wish I had paid attention to the serving size before I bought them. They look like a great quality product, but one serving is SIX pills a day! I suppose it's just a matter of preference, but I hate having to pop so many pills throughout the day. I mean, there sure is a ton of nutrients in them, but I'm already taking a multivitamin (with not enough calcium), a Omega supplement, and a circulation aid. So adding another 2 pills 3 x's a day is just too many pills for me to keep track of! Now I'm gonna have to set reminders on my phone...Anyway, they honestly seem to be a great product, and I really trust garden of life products. I just personally did not like how big they are, and how many pills I have to take everyday. If you are looking for a no hassle, simple calcium supplement, then this might be too much for you. If you really need the bone density support, then these seem great! A lot more than just Calcium. They have a lot of vitamin D, B6, B12, B2, K, Copper, Manganese, Magnesium, and more...
