Citracal calcium supplement with vitamin D is a bit more expensive than other brands at the drugstore, but calcium is one of those supplements that is formulated several different ways. This is calcium citrate, and I take this particular kind of calcium supplement on advice of my doctor. Like all women, I'm at risk for losing bone density and certainly don't get enough milk and other rich calcium sources to make up for the natural loss with aging. Calcium citrate is most easily absorbed, and this brand is absolutely easy on my system and specifically, stomach. I've never had one problem with it. The pills are easy for me to swallow, but I know there is a 'petites' version for those women who have a problem with larger pills. I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening, with or without food, makes no difference. It is my extra bit of insurance that osteoporosis won't set in. Generics may offer same protection, but this brand is one I completely trust.

citracal calcium citrate is the only thing I will take for my osteoporosis . The doctor wanted me to take fosamax but I have heard that is quite dangerous so I take citracal instead. It works! I know I am doing the right thing but I also do weight walking every day and that combined with the citracal has made me stronger and bone is denser too. I like the weight vest by NYKNYC as it is made for women with osteoporosis and it looks nice enough to wear anyplace so I get a solid workout each day along with my calcium.

Citracal Calcium Citrate supplements can be found in a wide range of stores from grocery stores to pharmacies. I happen to find it for sale at our local Walgreen's Pharmacy. It was a little pricey when compared to similar products but I decided to give it a try to see if I would notice any difference. They are easy to take. but I would prefer a chewable that came in different flavours. Now a days it is difficult for some people to get the amount of calcium their bodies need so their doctors recommend calicum supplements in order to prevent osteoporosis. The supplement works best when ingested after eating so it is absorbed into your system effectively. You also must be able to sit or stand for at least 20 minutes. Always check with your doctor before starting a regimen such as this.

The other reviewer was relating his body's result to this product, not the genuine fantastic of the product. i've been implementing this for 4 many years in a single different kind or another. I found the reality that preliminary stage that taken place was my fingernails grew to become very effective and grew like gang busters! that is genuinely a result in regards to the products that must have been a as well as for me. I went in regards to the common practitioner for my last bone scan and my bones have not gotten any even worse as well as though barely measurable have genuinely increased slightly. I are not able to hold another prescriptions for solidity enhancement on consideration of issues this also genuinely is at the very the bare minimum supporting me. this system does what it really affirms it does while using the bare minimum high-priced way. it genuinely is a fabulous offer remarkable compared to other limescale choices that i've attempted knowning that is genuinely a full great offer of them. I could not be happier.

I don't get a lot of calcium in my diet. I cannot drink milk and I have to moderate the amount of cheese I eat. I take Citracal Calcium Citrate to supplement my calcium intake. I take the Citracal Calcium Citrate Plus version that has Vitamin D included for better absorption; I don't get much Vitamin D from my diet or from the sun. The Plus version also includes magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron. Citracal Calcium Citrate costs more than some calcium supplements, but I trust it over generic brands. I don't want to take calcium that contains unrefined oyster shell, dolomite, or bone meal, as they may contain toxic metals, according to the online publication about calcium supplements from NIH (National Institutes of Health) Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases ~ National Resource Center. I admit, I have not always been the best about taking a calcium supplement, but I am going to try my best to take them consistently as I want to help prevent the chance of getting a bone disease. I already have arthritis and other illnesses; I dont need another health problem. The money and time it takes to take Citracal Calcium Citrate is definitely worth my health. I challenge you to get enough calcium too to prevent bone disease; your health is worth it too!

  As we all know, every year Medical experts fine another disease associate with age and disabiltly if not addressed.  For us women over a certain age osteoporosis seems to be one of those diseases that can be easily addressed but you have to be active in your attempts to combat it.  Osteoporosis leads to poor bone heath and as we age the chances of falling and breaking bones especially our hips skyrockets.  It is too late to go back our early teens and start taking in large quantities of milk and vitamin D and discipline ourselves to a life of exercise so we must do the next best thing, ingest calcium.  This sounds easier that it is.  If you have tried to take the recommended does by eating antacids you will be popping them and tasting chalk all day long.  If you try taking the majority of calcium tablets on the market you will be gagging and choking on what really is a pill for a horse not a human.  But Citracal calcium citrate has a major advantage it comes in a petite form which is so easy to swallow that you will not mind and tend to skip your daily dose.  They are so easy to take I even get my teen girls to take them in order to feel better about all the soda they drink.  This product also has the advantage that it doesn't cause gas and is well absorbed by the body.
