What type of calcium are used in the pill?

Calcium as tricalcium phosphate. It also has vitamin d as cholecalciferol and phosphorus as tricalcium phosphate. I also didn't realize the two gummies you take a day are only 50% of your daily value.

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product. I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

Any dairy item has calcium in it. Sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk and even soy milk have calcium. Most are available in 'light' with less fat. The chewables are the best and easiest way for me - I have trouble swallowing pills and these are delish.

As other people have commented, there is NO calcium in this product. It is a magnesium product, containing 350 mg. I don't know how it affects other people; however, I can say that it WORKS for me!!

Average not tiny and not big. Being a capsule they are easier to swallow. I find when swallowing big pills (which these are NOT) it helps to take them with a thick drink, like a yogurt drink that you buy in the supermarket. Just one big gulp of those drinks and down it goes. That is how I take my calcium tablets. Hope this helps you make your decision.

From their site: "While many supplements contain calcium from limestone rock or animal bones, Alive! Calcium provides algae calcium and 70+ trace minerals in a natural food matrix that may be easier for the body to digest, absorb and utilize. Enhanced Absorption: Vitamin D3 in the formula enhances your body's ability to absorb & use calcium. Stronger Bones: Magnesium & Vitamin C in the formula help your body maintain bone density. Gets to Your Bones, Not Your Arteries: Vitamin K2 (MK-7) in the formula directs calcium to the bones where it's needed most, and away from arteries." Hope that helps! It's good stuff! :)

Agreed - kind of hard to buy a calcium supplement that doesn't bother to list the calcium content :)

They are a little big. If you've ever seen calcium pills or most pills from Costco, it's about the same size. If you have problems with pills You can check out the powder form of super HD. I recommend the pink lemmonade. It tastes really good.

There are others that have pretty complete answers for this. Main thing is the strontium is am and calcium is pm. Great mix and with three years of taking them I no longer have osteopenia

The label indicates the calcium is "HydroxyCitrate", and a google search shows that it is tropical plant derived. It comes from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxycitric_acid

The calcium pills are at least that large and maybe just a little bit bigger. They do look like you could cut them in half if you needed to, but the way they are now, they are quite large. Hope this helps.

True, it is absorbed better. BUT ... if you don't take your calcium pills at the frequency you're supposed to or miss doses -- because you have a difficult time getting the hard, dry pills down your throat -- these delicious chews are an excellent alternative. I NEVER miss taking these!
