Caltrate 600 Plus D3 Plus Minerals Calcium and Vitamin D Supplement Tablets, Bone Health and Mineral Supplement for Adults - 165 Count

Choose carefully

Being diagnosed at 44 with osteoporosis was life-altering, to say the very least. I bought into the ideology that calcium had to be made this way or that way, etc etc. Eventually, I tried Caltrate, then, I tried Caltrate with minerals. Nothing will cure this bone devouring disease however, choose carefully what you put into your body and listen to your body when taking any supplement. For me, I've seen a true difference in the way that I feel and the growth has slowed. BTW, I just turned 64 years young! ðŸ˜

I highly recommend this product

This did the trick. I have tried everything under the sun for chronic diarreah. Spent a fortune on expensive pills for IBS. But nothing worked. I believe mine is stress related. I tried this product and it worked right away. I take one before each meal. Finally relief. I'm not sure how long I can safely take this three times a day. Need to do some research. If anyone knows, let me know. I highly recommend this product

Great stuff with some hidden benefits!

My mother suffers from osteoporosis and so I started taking this to prevent developing the condition myself. Incidentally it cleared up my hormonal acne that I had suffered from for years - even Accutane didn't help it. My monthly cycles also seemed to become regular. I won't use another brand of calcium as this was recommended by my mother's doctor because your body absorbs it better

I take two of these a day. So many …

I take two of these a day. So many people are unaware of the damage that having a vitamin D deficiency can do. The long term of effects are both mental and physical

It works great.

My trigger fingers were getting really bad on both hands and surgery wasn't a choice for me. My hands had no strength and couldn't close to make a fist, I had to ask my family members who were around to open a simple bottle or jar for me. It pained a lot especially at night, it made sleeping impossible. I was getting desperate, so I did some research and decided to do a combination for myself, with the Best Vite P-5-P. I had no idea it would work this well for my trigger finger, and to my surprise, it also works for the joint and muscle pains I get from Menopause. This product works so well I have already set it on my agenda to reorder and this time more than one bottle

Magnesium combination with calcium is not recommended

Taking calcium at night does not affect your sleep but can reduce the effectiveness of another supplement, magnesium, which promotes relaxation and is often recommended to be taken at night. It is a good idea to take magnesium before bed because it can help you sleep. Because calcium and magnesium compete for absorption, they should not be consumed at the same time. Another reason that it is not good to take calcium at night is because vitamin D should be combined with complete meals. Vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium and therefore these two should be taken at about the same time. Note that the dose of calcium should be taken “broken” in two with 500-600 mg at a time. On the other hand, a study has shown that an overdose of vitamin D and calcium can increase the risk of stroke

Useful product

I researched this product when I was having some digestive upsets after having my gall bladder removed. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this product recommendation; it works like a charm. I don't use it regularly; it works fine to use it only when needed to help digestive issues. I have not had any side effects, and I like that it provides both calcium and vitamin D. I have recommended it to several friends and family

Much better than the one in the pink bottle.

I used this product because my Rheumatologist told me it was the best calcium supplement to take. She emphasized that I needed to the the purple one not the pink because if has more benefits to it
