Calcium Soft Chew | Dinner Mint

Our Calcium Chew is specially formulated for bariatric patients and delivers Calcium in a non-gritty way. Each chew provides 500mg TruCal® Calcium, 500 IU of Vitamin D3 to support Calcium absorption, and also contains 500 million CFU’s of Probiotics to help with digestion. 

All that packed in a delicious soft chew that you will love to take!

Sweetened with tapioca syrup and raw cane sugar, there are no artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, so you can feel confident you are maintaining your optimum Calcium levels to support your healthy, active lifestyle. If you find taking Calcium tablets difficult, individually wrapped soft chews make a great alternative to nourish your bones anytime, anywhere; with or without food.

DIRECTIONS: Take one chew up to three times daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Take at least 2 hours apart from Iron to maximize absorption of both supplements.

Trucal® is an all-natural, Lactose free Calcium with a higher absorption rate than Calcium Carbonate, and equal too or greater than Calcium Citrate. Unlike other Calcium forms, Trucal® offers a balanced profile of essential minerals and antioxidants. (All the healthy parts of milk with very low lactose) thus, making Trucal® the superior choice for achieving your optimal bone health. Like Calcium Citrate, TruCal does not require stomach acid for absorption, is non-constipating, does not increase the risk for kidney stones, and doesn't need to be consumed with food; making TruCal a comparable, if not more complete, Calcium option than Calcium Citrate.
