Citracal Slow Release 1200, 1200 mg Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D (1000 IU), Vitamin D3, Bone Health Support, Calcium Supplement for Ages 12+, 80 Count

Good product
Of the age where this is a staple in my supplement routine. Affordable price. It has more convenient directions than some calcium pills. Easier to take. But still large pills so you need more liquid to get them down. Better than some though.

Easy to swallow
Great product

Benefit with slow release CITRACAL!
If you are looking for the best calcium and vitamin D supplement as advised by your physician, this may be the one you want. Read the label carefully as all calcium tablets available are certainly not the same even if it is another Citracal product. The slow release 1200 is taken 2 caplets once daily! Citracal also makes a 1200 mg NOT slow release and is taken 2 caplets twice a day. I made this mistake, thinking what could be the difference other than lower price only to discover my lab resulted in a below desired level for calcium. In my case I just did not consistently get 2 caplets in twice a day. These slow release are still very large and not simple to swallow but managable and provided what was needed. Always ask your physician but I found these to be perfect and also strongly recommended by my MD. No after taste or odors. Plenty of D3 in the daily dose as well.

Excellent Form of Calcium Plus D – Only Two Tablets 1X/day
I have been taking Calcium pills for over twenty years now, I have seen everything, from the days of horse-sized pills, with no Vitamin D ( D is sort of necessary, since your body will not process the Calcium without it.), to the various heated arguments about just what the precise and correct type of Calcium was that one should take, down to the ultimate battle of just what the precise correct dosage was – I have been there, I bear the battle scars proudly upon my body.One day, I was reading something online, and an ad popped-up, normally I ignore ads, but something about this caught my eye. Yes, it was yet another type of calcium, yoo-hoo! But something was different about this Citracal 1200 Slow-Release. As I read, I became more and more excited, I called my PCP to check on the verity of the claims made but Citracal …….it was true….the days, months, years, and decades of choking down a pill fit only for a mule, and at that – four times a day…. They were over, I was released from my bondage to the evil giant monster Calcium pills.These Citracal tablets are time-released, contain the appropriate amount of Vitamin D, , and……heavens to murgatroyd – one takes only two per day, at one time in the morning. Well, needless to say, my world has changed, little birds circle my head, twittering a merry tune as I stride purposefully down the street. My Bone Density Scans come back so perfect that my gynecologist dances in glee, and mentions the term “steel girders”, as he frolics around my scans.These pills are not tiny, but they are so much better than anything that came before. I take them on an empty stomach in the morning, with no issues. Although, some have mentioned that they experience slight distress when taking these on an empty stomach, I never have. If one does, take the pills with food. I now have these on my Subscribe and Save list, and receive a few bottles every month or so.If you want to be strong and tall, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, I recommend these tablets. Should you just wish to be able to walk straight and tall down the street, no bounding, these will also take care of you.Why oh why did it take so long for single dose, time-release Calcium to reach our shores? I recommend these most highly. Women Unite – Take Calcium and Stay Strong and Tall Throught Your Given Days!

I have tried so many calcium supplements in the past, but my calcium still low and so I mentioned it to my specialist and she recommended Citracal to me. The best thing that I ever had.
