I’ve been taking these mainly to make sure I’m getting enough calcium in my daily diet. The slow-release formula is convenient, and the tablets are easy enough to take with a meal. I also like that it includes vitamin D3, since it helps with calcium absorption. I haven’t noticed any dramatic effects, but that’s not really what I expected from a calcium supplement. For me, it’s more about consistent daily supplementation. Overall, a solid and convenient product, and I would buy it again.

I like that it’s slow-release so instead of taking 600 mg in the morning and another 600 mg at night, I am able to take it once only.
Almost thought I would have to mark these as ordered by mistake, because 1200mg at one time is too much calcium. Fortunately they are time release & will be perfect for those days when I am too busy to take multiple tablets
My doctor recommended adding a Vitamin D supplement to my routine after my latest bloodwork came back low, and I'm so glad I chose this one. The softgels are tiny, incredibly easy to swallow, and leave zero aftertaste. After taking them daily with breakfast for a few months, my follow-up labs showed my levels are right back where they need to be, and I've noticed a real boost in my energy. Good quality package and pill.
I chose this supplement as part of a strategy to maintain bone mineral density in people aged 50+ with a focus not only on bones but also on cardiovascular safety. Today, there are randomized studies and meta-analyses that show that calcium supplements do indeed provide a small but measurable increase in bone density, especially in people with low baseline calcium intake. At the same time, high doses of calcium in the form of supplements (about 1000 mg/day) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in some studies, and the possible contribution of vascular calcification is particularly alarming here. To benefit my bones without overdoing it with calcium, I consciously take about half of the manufacturer's recommended daily dose of calcium, covering the rest of my needs through food (dairy products, other sources of calcium). This way, the total intake remains within a moderate range, without large bolus peaks, which are considered potentially problematic for blood vessels. The second key point is the full recommended dose of magnesium in the form of citrate. Magnesium is important for the normal functioning of vitamin D, calcium-phosphate metabolism hormones, and bone remodeling; review data show that magnesium deficiency is associated with poorer bone density and a higher risk of fractures. In experimental and clinical studies, magnesium has been shown to have the potential to inhibit vascular calcification and is associated with lower cardiovascular risk. As a result, I use this supplement as part of a broader regimen: moderate calcium (½ dose), full dose of magnesium, adequate vitamin D and protein, plus regular weight-bearing physical activity. Subjectively, the supplement is well tolerated; in my case, magnesium citrate does not cause digestive problems.
The size of the pill is quite big, but I don’t have problem in swallowing. No smell. Slow release is super convenient for me coz i would definitely forget the second dose if i need to take it more than once a day.
