Viactiv Calcium Chews Reviews

Most women need extra calcium, especially those that are middle aged and facing the loss of bone as they enter their senior years.  Viactive Calcium Soft Chews is a product designed to deliver calcium in a soft chew formula that is also flavored and not like the traditional pill formula of a vitamin.  This makes taking the calcium supplement a bit more fun and also helps you to remember to take it, since it has a nice flavor.

Each square contains 100% of the recommended daily requirement.  The chews are small and easy to chew and packed with flavor. They come in chocolate, caramel, chocolate...

Did you know that women start to lose about .3 of 1% of bone density a year starting at the age of 30?  Did you know that the recommended daily calcium intake for adults is about 1000mg?

One Viactiv calcium soft chew has 500 mg of calcium.  It tastes like candy and is easy to eat.  It comes in flavors like milk chocolate, caramel, french vanilla, and raspberry.

Although, they market this for women, anyone can take these.

Calcium is an important mineral that helps build and maintain bones and one that everyone should make sure is included in their daily diet. Remember you mother telling you to drink your milk? She was right all along! In 2004 the U.S. Surgeon General reported that for women of all ages and life stages, calcium, vitamin D and exercise are important to maintaining bone health and helping to prevent osteoporosis - a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break. The good news is that you can decrease your risk of developing osteoporosis by taking a calcium supplement and doing at least...

Calcium and vitamins are an every day thing for me because I've had gastric bypass. These are my "dessert" after meals! Just enough to curb my sweet tooth, and I get the calcium my body needs. Cost is not an issue for me, because it's something I must have, just like a prescription. I do not think they are expensive at all. Very convenient, and I like that they are individually wrapped.

As a Registered Dietitan working with young children and teens, i find that a lot of them are not getting enough calcium.  Many don't like the taste of milk so they don't drink it, which is unfortunate since that is a great way to get calcium in the diet.  Luckily there is another way to get calcium in the diet - Viactiv Chews.  These are great because it is an easy way for a person to get calcium in the diet plus they taste good tood.  The teenagers i work with love them - it's almost like a sweet treat (okay maybe not as good ...but still tastes good!). 

However there are some things to...

I was shocked to learn a few years ago that I had osteoporsis - I associated this with "old women" and I was not one of them.  But, the dexascan did not lie and I did indeed have bone loss at a young age.  Unsure of why but determined to stop the progress I did my research and followed my doctors advice.  I increased my weight bearing exercise, increased my dietary calcium and added a calcium suppliment to my diet.  After trying a few and not finding one that was I could tolerate I heard of Vivactiv soft chews.  I love them.  They come in a variety of flavors, all of which are great.  Because...

Tastes pretty good, but why can't they make it with calcium citrate instead of calcium carbonate?

I love taking my Viactin Calicum chewable vitamins. I used to take normal vitamins but years ago had the gastric lapband and started taking chewable vitamins. When I could go back to normal pills I didn't want to. I love the taste of them. Whenever I need a choclate fix I take my vitamin. My way of staying clear of choclate that I don't need. Sometime durning the day I even have it, I usually take it at night but they are so good and watching my weight I no longer eat that junk food but if I am really craving it I will take it earlier in the day just so I can satisfy my craving...and it is my vitamin!!!...
