Schiff Natural Super Calcium 1200 with Vitamin D -- 120 Softgels

Supports Healthy Bones and Teeth. Calcium is an essential mineral in the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Regular exercise and healthy diet with enough calcium helps teen and young adult women, who are at risk of osteoporosis later in life, maintain good bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis (Caucasian and Asian women are particularly at risk for osteoporosis). Adequate Calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above 2,000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.

"These are better than hard pills, but still big. That said, I would still get them again since they're the best non-chewable I've been able to find."

"I usually skimp on calcium because I can't stand taking the big horse pills. These, however, are softgels and go down much easier and I've been able to get myself to take two/day consistently, one in the morning and one in the evening, without feeling like a brick is sitting in my stomach afterward. As for effectiveness, how can you tell? But I rated it 5 stars because I'm taking the recommended daily dose and how effective could it be if you don't?"

"I have always had trouble with calcium repeating and they have also been hard to swallow. Schiff Softgels is the only calcium that I will now take. There is no repeating and they are very easy to swallow. I recommend them if you have had any trouble with taking calcium."

"I have bought other calcium pills and found them extremely difficult to swallow. Although these are large, the capsule makes it a snap. I would advise not leaving these pills in a hot car for any length of time, as they have a tendency to melt."

"I have been taking these softgel calcium pills for several years to increase my bone density. The commonly sold pills tend to get stuck in my throat, which is unpleasant. These sofgels are easy to swallow, don't have a bitter taste, and go down gently and smoothly. They are sensitive to heat, so I have to keep them away from the sun. Both the price and the pills are easy to swallow. Due to the high dose, I only need to take one pill at a time (one pill twice per day)."

"After my thyroidectomy/parathyroidectomy I tried many, many kinds of calcium supplements and found this one to be the best. Did not cause any constipation or upset stomach and easily keeps my calcium levels at the perfect level. I have no muscle cramping or symptoms otherwise associated with low calcium levels since I started taking this one."

"This is a very easy to swallow softgel, and easily digested. The flip top cap on the bottle is great for people with arthritis or that have trouble unscrewing caps. I've tried other products, but always come back to this one. I'm not going to try any others."
