Kirkland Signature Calcium Citrate 500mg, 500 Count (Pack of 2)

This is a product that I've used for years. It's inexpensive and tastes good. if you live in a hot, humid climate, you should keep it in a dry place to avoid discoloration.

I feel like I get sick less often taking these.They are cheaper from Costco, but I have not renewed my membership this year.So this is almost as good.

Very fair price

Good

Calcium Citrate with Magnesium and Zinc is a great source of Calcium. It is a little hard to swallow due to being large but it is absorbed easier than many other forms of Calcium. Also a person gets some Magnesium and Zinc with each tablet. The item was ordered on 1-29-24 and received on 2-2-24, this is very fast service.

I was reluctant to switch from the brand of calcium carbonate I’ve been using faithfully for the past, oh, 20 years or so. But I finally decided it was time to try calcium citronate, because it’s reputedly easier for the body to absorb—which is a super important factor for bone health in older people, especially women. In the past, I tried calcium supplements on their own, but found they caused constipation. For a while I was trying to offset this effect by adding a separate magnesium supplement, but it was difficult to strike the right balance. Ultimately, I settled on a reputable vitamin brand containing nicely balanced proportions of calcium-magnesium-zinc. I was reluctant to upset this balance by trying a new brand. My old brand contains 333 mg calcium carbonate to 133 mg magnesium. By contrast, each pill of the Kirkland brand contains 250 mg calcium citronate to 40 mg magnesium. The proportions sounded really off to me, but I’m glad I tried Kirkland’s product. It does not cause constipation—whew!, and I will be getting better absorption and therefore bone health with calcium citronate. Some people experience the pill as difficult to swallow, but I have not had any problem swallowing these tablets. To get 1000 mg/day, I take two pills with my morning meal and two with my last meal of the day. (Each pill is 250 mg.) I find the price reasonable as well.

Effective product.But take note, as I have not yet seen this clearly addressed:Calcium Citrate contains only 21% of elemental calcium (calcium that is actually used by the body).Hence, (250 mg pill x 21 %) = 52.5 mg of usable calcium per pill.So depending on your needed calcium intake (or lack thereof) you may have to take 20 pills per day of this product to meet the above 1000 mg daily requirement. (And any overconsumption of the other listed ingredients contained per pill, may have to be considered.)Thus, in a real world application, based on one’s elimination diet (e.g. lack of dairy, lack of nutrients in hybrid vegetables, etc.) 500 pills will not last long, at all.I suspect many are under dosing calcium citrate based on a lack of knowledge and misdirected fears regarding calcification. If you lack calcium in your diet, you will need to make the necessary supplemental adjustment.Hopefully this clarifies for some.

My blood test turned out fine so they must be working. I take 8 pills at once so I'm so used to taking meds that I never have problems with meds. I did notice that these pills aren't like horse pills like the last ones I had. If that helps. These are a lot easier to swallow with the whole bunch.

強いて言うなら届くのが遅い。

10年くらい前．歯ぐきから歯が浮くようなことがありました．歯科医に行っても解決せず、カルシウム飲んだら治りました．歯と歯茎がきっちり締まって出血もなくなってカルシウムが不足してたんだなー、と．それからは、毎日ではないにせよ時々摂取してました．これはその一環の商品．充分効いてましたよ．マグネや亜鉛が含まれてるのがいいですね．
