Up cal D
Have been using since my gastric sleeve surgery a year and a half ago. Calcium levels have been great.

Great product
I was concerned the first time I tried to use this product because it did not completely dissolve as I expected it to. After reading more about it, I learned that it isn’t suppose to dissolve completely. I now pour a little bit on my tongue at a time and it works GREAT!

Love the convenience
I just started using this product and love it’s convenience. I did not read all the info the site provides or reviews before buying so I was a bit disappointed to learn it doesn’t dissolve and is gritty. MY FAULT. After reading more about the product and reviews, I’ve learned quite a bit and now understand better how to use the powder. It beats the chalky chewable a from another company that shall remain nameless.

Best calcium citrate on the market!
For the reviewers complaining about a chalky taste or that the product doesn't dissolve, you must not know anything about calcium. Please do your research before complaining. Calcium doesn't dissolve and IS a gritty element. I detest taking huge calcium pills (or ANY pills) so when I found this powdered calcium I knew I had to try it. I've been taking this since my gastric bypass in 2018 and I love it. It's so quick and easy. All I do is pour the powder directly into my mouth and wash it down with a bit of whatever I'm drinking. One word of caution, be careful NOT to inhale or sneeze as you will end up inhaling the powder because the particle size is so fine. There is a slight sweet taste due to the added dextrose but it's very light. Overall, I love this product and recommend it to anyone who needs it. Again, please understand that calcium IS a gritty textured element and will NOT dissolve in food or liquids. If you add to a liquid it will settle to the bottom so make sure you swish the liquid around to re-mix the calcium while drinking. If you add to food, you will still feel the gritty texture.

Really good without the citric acid
I was hesitant b/c of my issues with citric acid. It has very little of this, is an extremely thin powder (don't breathe or sneeze when pouring into your mouth!!!) and is AWESOME!!!

Easy to use. Not too grainy. Has a sweet taste that is good.

Chalky AF
I'm thankful for this product in that it will be great for my RNY liquid phase. It is chalky, as is to be expected, but not terribly unpleasant. I'm going to switch to a chewable product after this box is gone, though.
