Viactiv Soft Calcium Chews, 500+D+K, Milk Chocolate Flavor

Product Review

Calcium Supplement Plus Vitamins D and K. Active nutrition for women by women. Why Calcium? Osteoporosis affects menopausal women, middle-aged and older persons. Preventing osteoporosis should start earlier in your life. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps build and maintain good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above about 2,000 mg are not likely to provide additional benefit. Why Vitamins D and K? Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and Vitamin K aids in its utilization.

Tastes good enough that you remember to take it!, August 28, 2004

This product did make me queasy the first few times I took it, but I found that as long as I took it after eating, and didn't take two at the same time, it was fine, and I have the most sensitive stomach on the planet. Its a great alternative to chalky chewables or huge calcium pills.

I just got my 2 pack of 90 chews (!) today and realized that I should have gotten the other flavor...this one is distinctly chalky and not chocolately, but the carmel flavor actually tastes like real carmel.

TRANS FATS, June 2, 2007

Jessica Adam "CafeMystery" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Viactiv Soft Calcium Chews, 500+D+K, Milk Chocolate Flavor, Value Size 90 chews (Health and Beauty)

I was really excited to get this product. Calcium + Vitamin D all in a fantastic piece of chocolate. What could be better? However, in looking at the nutrition information, I found that trans fat was not labeled. This told me right away that this product must be pretty old because requirements for labels were made at the beginning of last year. Scanning through the ingredients I found it. Hydrogenated oils. I felt so betrayed! A product that claims to be so healthy, while at the same time containing trivial amounts of trans fat! I suggest looking for other methods to obtain your calcium. Supporting this cheap way companies get around shelf life is sooo not worth it!
