Caltrate Calcium with Vitamin D -Tablets —

In the past year, I've tried a few brands of vitamin supplements hoping to find a calcium pill that I didn't have to chew, but that was also easy to swallow. Calcium tablets tend to be large, and I have trouble swallowing large pills. Luckily, I found Caltrate Calcium Supplement with Vitamin D. Yes, it's still a large pill, but it's coated and shaped so that it goes down fairly easy. I hate it when a large pill begins to melt in your mouth and leaves a bitter taste before you've gotten it down your throat. That's never been a problem with Caltrate.

What I Like About Caltrate Calcium:

600mg of calcium for 60% of recommended daily value
Double the Vitamin D (400 IU) for proven calcium absorption
Clinically tested
Supports bone and colon health
Oval shaped tablet is coated and easier to swallow
Doesn't disintegrate in my mouth while I'm trying to swallow
Doesn't upset my stomach

I initially bought Caltrate because I was interested in getting an effective combination of calcium and Vitamin D, and Caltrate delivers. I also think that the price of $14 per bottle for 120 tablets makes this an affordable option. I do get calcium in my diet so I only take one tablet a day, but you can take up to two per day if desired.

Overall, I think that Caltrate Calcium Supplement with Vitamin D is a quality product that I will be buying again.

I hate it when the big pill feels like it's caught in my throat. I think it's the coating rather than the size that makes the different. My vitamin D pills are chalklike. The combo you've reviewed has the right answer. Thanks for the info!
