NOW Supplements, Calcium Citrate Powder, Supports Bone Health*, 8 oz

We use NOW products whenever we can. They get excellent user reviews. We have poor absorption so we don't get much good from the capsule form. The powder has no flavor and easily mixes with water or juice.

Been taking for few years when searching alternate to pills, and found the formula work for me. However, got to be kind of a chore to find something to dissolve and drink the powder as I am not a coffee drinker & that probably works great to dissolve from the heat. Learned early on water of and by itself is a poor choice as it won't dissolve. Pulpy type juices is printed on the bottle label as 'for best results, blend into pulpy type juices' and I got into that, but, all the same it meant drinking, every time, some kind of juice, buying/stocking some kind of juice, and it could be at times problem if at a location when such juices are not available. Then a couple years back I came across a reviewer, not sure if this powder version or another, who said he simply put a spoon of the powder directly in his mouth, and swallowed with a drink. Since I've come to know this version is literally tasteless and wouldn't cause any issues to put right in the mouth like some supplements can taste bitter etc, decided to try myself. I got the combo right the first time choosing a diet pepsi to wash it down: match made in heaven. All the issues of drinking in a cup resolved as the acidic pepsi with 3 to 4 swallows utterly cleared the powder. I learned since only need around 4 ounces of any acidic type diet soda - can be regular but I want to avoid calories - and that is enough to entirely send without any traces left from your mouth the calcium. No more fussing with remaining powder in cup that hasn't dissolved, or powder left on cups, etc,no more having to find 'pulpy' drinks, nor chugalug amounts I don't want, as only very small amount of any acidic soda completely washes the 1-1/2 teaspoon down. Only don't do it when you might be prone to chuckle, or have to answer anyone's pressing question, or you will spew out powder from your mouth. In a short time you can become a pro, know how to expertly put a heaping spoon directly into your mouth, not chuckle, and in 5 seconds chug down a shot of diet soda and have your dose without a trace left in you or on you or someone else or any cup. You will feel like a hipster at a bar, real cool, able to chug a shot of calcium in any adverse condition in under 5 seconds while all the amateurs are still sitting stirring and stirring to get to the almost dissolved point they can drink. Try it, you might like it, and perhaps impress somebody somewhere...only make sure when you do that to impress, not to chuckle near, or your hopeful cool will turn into a horrifying dust cloud, again another sign of another kind of amateur calcium taker. 'nuf said!

dissolves easily in your mouth with a nice chalky taste but not disgusting. take a sip of water after putting it in your mouth and it instantly dissolves.

It works. Doctor recommended it. Raised my calcium.

Everyone says it dissolves in coffee. Mine just sits at the bottom I have to constantly stir it, other than that, it’s fine.

I am happy with this product. I always like Now Foods supplements, and this is a large container of calcium citrate for a low price. It has no flavor.

Best calcium powder I’ve found to mix into juice. Not chalky like other types of calcium.

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!🎉🌟

Tried mixing this into coffee and other drinks, and the taste isn’t optimal. We stopped using it after a week or so and my partner is now eating calcium pills.

good

Quality is excellent, it would have been great if they put a scoop in it.

I think this is a great calcium supplement for those looking for a most natural way to increase their calcium intake. The ingredient list consists in vegan calcium powder only, nothing else! The plainer, the more comfortable I feel, especially if I am to take that supplement over a long period of time. Also, and as indicated on the label, the powder is indeed quite soluble and easily blends into your drink or juice, which certainly enhances its bio-availability in addition to being Calcium Citrate (citrate being perhaps the most bio-available form for calcium). I recommend this product.

el hecho de que es puro es super, buen precio, a mi si me fue facil solo mezclaro con agua, eso si solo acostumbrate al sabor
