Viactiv Calcium +Vitamin D3 Supplement Soft Chews, Caramel, 60 Chews - Calcium Dietary Supplement for Bone Health

Recently had parathyroid removal surgery and was told to take calcium supplements for some of the acquired symptoms. This was one of the recommended ones by my surgeon. It was this or take multiple pills, some of which are very large. These seemed to be the easiest and most pleasant way to go. They don’t cause any stomach issues like other calcium supplements (like constipation). They taste okay (the chocolate are personally better than the caramel flavor) and are easy to take. I think because they’re chewed they seem to digest and therefore work more quickly. The texture isn’t bad. They aren’t gritty. They are a little softer than expected. They have a pleasant taste that doesn’t taste like medicine or supplements.

Some people have difficulty swallowing pills, so this chewable one is great. Unfortunately, we were having difficulty finding it in stores. Even CVS which is where we always bought it did not have it, so I looked on line and found the exact one we needed. This brand has been popular for years.

I always have low calcium when I get my blood work. My doctor recommended this brand. And it is SOOOOOO delicious I never missed a day. It’s like a dessert.

I was a little skeptical about ordering because of the many reviews about the missing lid, broken seal, unwrapped chews and even missing chews. I eventually took the chance and ordered. I gave this 4 stars because the lid was missing on mine, but the seal wasn’t broken and all the chews were wrapped, so I kept it. Not sure what the deal is with the missing lids and tampered seals of this particular product. Whether it’s a warehouse shipping issue or order packing issue, there needs to be a better quality control procedure put in place, effective immediately! Keep in mind, this item is not returnable or exchangeable, so you would have to contact Amazon’s Customer Service and try to resolve any issue with them. Now about the taste, I love caramel and I’m happy to share that these soft chews tastes really good! Plus, I counted 62 pieces, so I got 2 bonus pieces! Last, for peace of mind, if you decide to purchase this product and there is no evident tampering, it wouldn't hurt to count the pieces.

Very good

They taste very caramel-y.

An enjoyable way to get your calcium.

great product, just as described.
