NOW FoodsSupplements, Calcium Citrate Powder, Highly Bioavailable Calcium, Supports Bone Health*, 8-Ounce

Great Quality Vitamins – I Feel the Difference!I’ve been using these vitamins for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say I’ve noticed a positive change in my energy levels and overall well-being. The capsules are easy to swallow, they don’t upset my stomach, and I really appreciate the clean ingredients. I also love that they come in a well-sealed bottle with clear instructions.So far, I feel more energetic throughout the day and less fatigued in the afternoons. I definitely plan to keep using them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality supplement they can trust.Highly satisfied with this purchase!

It's a great way to get extra calcium citrate. I just throw it into my large coffee with cream and it dissolves pretty well and doesn't affect the taste negatively. There can be some chalky residue during the last few sips if I don't swirl the coffee throughout while drinking but that doesn't bother me. You can also put in less than the specified dosage if you don't need all 600mg or want to space it out in different drinks throughout the day.

Just put 1/2 tablespoon powder in water twice a day. No bad taste. Keep swirling as powder settles. I trust NOW Foods products to be of high quality.I will buy this regularly.

Powdered calcium citrate is expensive. This is the cheapest calcium citrate powder I could find. It dissolves easily in water and has little taste, except mildly chalky. I used to mix it in applesauce, but the easiest way to take it quickly is to put your dose in a shot glass, fill with water, stir, and sip quickly through a straw. Refill a second time to get the remainder. In applesauce it gets thick and chewy and is harder to get down.Now. Bioavailability. Research shows that calcium citrate is more absorbable than calcium carbonate or any other oral form. It is easier on your stomach and does not need to be taken with food. I’ve struggled to get me calcium levels above 7 since I’ve been pregnant. Since starting this and upping my dose to twice daily, my calcium is finally around 9. The recommended dose is a teaspoon and a half—I have a half tablespoon measuring spoon and use a heaping spoonful for each dose, twice a day. I take in between meals since I have to take a K-Phos supplement with each meal, and phos will mess with calcium absorption (and vice versa).Calcium citrate powder is less user friendly than a simple pill, but for maximum absorption it can’t be beat. Highly recommend. (I am reviewing this under my husband’s name).

After parathyroid surgery, the doctor prescribed calcium carbonate. I told her that calcium carbonate hurts my stomach, but she encouraged me to take it anyway! I refused and used this Now Calcium Citrate powder instead. I've had four lab tests since being discharged from the hospital and each time the results showed my serum calcium to be either at or above goal. This citrate powder works.I mix it with room-temperature water. It's not the best texture (chalky), but for me it's preferable to swallowing large capsules or tablets that have unnecessary ingredients.My only complaint is the shape of the container. It's impossible to reach the lower part of the container with a measuring spoon. The bottle is too tall and narrow. I have to tranfer the powder to a wide-mouth jar.

I already take two other forms of calcium and I wanted to get a well rounded calcium intake from different sources. I need a ton of calcium due to a med that causes bone loss over the years.This product is virtually tasteless when mixed in a protein shake. I'm sure it would probably be the same when mixed in a glass of juice. A little chalky..? Yeah, but it's calcium and they are all a little chalky. This one is not bad at all in that respect. I think it is due to how fine the powder is. Pretty much the consistency of talcum powder. I do mix it into my shake container in/over the sink, not on the counter for less mess. I also add other stuff to the shake so there is always a bit of fallout.This is a great option for those of us who hate taking pills.

This powder is just so much better than those huge Calcium Citrate pills! Even the ones that say petite are are very large and hurt my throat so this powder is the best option for me!I just mix it into my juice with protein drink and I can’t even taste it!🤩Seven years ago I had an X-ray of my back and was told that I have osteopenia which is the start of osteoporosis. I went to my doctor last week to ask about having another scan done to see an update. He told me that he’s seen so many women come through his office having been on flow max that have very, very, very bad side effects from it that are far worse than osteoporosis. Unfortunately, he said that it can actually make jaw bones more prone to breakage and such.So, instead of doing the flow max, he highly recommended taking Calcium Citrate because it is the most bioavailable form of Calcium. But he said that in order to make it more bioavailable it should be supplemented with Vitamin D. And of course he said that I should be doing lots of weight bearing exercises because this exercise is so important for strengthening bones.This is a nice, big bottle (1st pic) that should last over 2 months when taking a teas. and a half (600 mgs per day which is the recommended amount online and on this bottle) in some kind of liquid. I tasted it alone (3rd photo) and it doesn’t really taste like anything, slightly chalky if you take more than a tiny bit, and it is the consistency of flour IMHO.The bottle has 2 safety seals (see second pic) for those that are interested.Hope this helps and wishing you all strong bones!🎉🌟
