Pure EncapsulationsCalcium (Citrate) - Supplement for Bone, Teeth, Colon, and Cardiovascular Health Support* - with Premium Calcium Citrate - 180 Capsules

Pure Encapsulations Calcium is a fantastic product. Yes, they are more expensive than many other vitamin and supplement brands, but for some things I don't mind paying more. There are many reasons why paying more makes sense.First, they are pharmaceutical grade products. Pharmaceutical grade products are defined as: A pharmaceutical-grade compound (PGC) is defined as “any active or inactive drug, biologic or reagent, for which a chemical purity standard has been established by a recognized national or regional pharmacopeia (e.g., the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).” This is also followed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). PGC means hgher purity and quality, better absorption, rigorous testing standards, and more reliable dosages. What does this product have none off of--binders and fillers.Secondly, it's beneficial to spread calcium doses out through the day especially as you get older. It's easier on your kidneys and less likely to contribute to kidney stone formation and things like gas and bloating when taken this way. More importantly, your body can only absorb so much CA at a time. When you take a mega dose, you're likely to just pee out anything over 500 mg. By spreading out the dosage you get maxium absorption.Soooo, if you're a woman and over 51 you should be getting at least 1,200 mg of calcium a day. Yes, that means you need to remember to take this product four times a day. To me, it's worth it.

Five stars on being able to swallow these they are capsules so easy not like those gorilla size that are big and stick to your mouth . I do two at once and I have no issues I have to take two times a day doc said 600mg a day so I take two am two pm no stomach issues at all . I looked at a lot of calcium vitamins and this one really fit the bill for me maybe you don’t wanna spend the money but just think about it. Do you wanna keep buying those horse pills and not being able to return them and hate them so maybe just look at the reviews and look at the item. I think these are really good for me. I am a 72 year-old female and I need my calcium and they’re great so far.

My doc recommends this brand for their pureness of ingredients. They have really helped my bloodwork get back to where it needs to be! Thanks!

My mom was told he vitamin D level was too high so I came across these supplements and they are what she needed .

I have osteopenia & my dr. wanted me to start using a calcium supplement. I choose this, because of the purity & low dosage. Low dosage because of my tendency for kidney stones. One of the negative side effects is constipation; the next few days was a problem. Now I make sure I eat a large green salad once a day & extra water. This works for me, no more constipation.

I have no idea. I'm happy with the product.

This is the only brand so far that doesn’t make my stomach hurt. It’s been a problem for me for a long while. Took a chance on this and I am so happy. Shipping was a breeze too.

I bought it, it came and was good stuff
