Why was Calcium Carbonate chosen for the calcium source in the Calcium soft chews?

Calcium Carbonate was chosen because of its high level of elemental calcium (40%) compared to Calcium Citrate (21%). This allows us to get most calcium in each chew.

 

Does it matter what time of day the Calcium soft chews are consumed?

No, you can take them at any time of day. However, the calcium is better absorbed when taken with food or on a full stomach. Only one chew should be taken at a time. If taking 2 chews to get 100% Daily Value of your calcium – it is best to spread them out throughout the day to maximize absorption.
