Review: Got Tired of Pulpy Juice Manufacturer Instructions How To Take & Learned Better Way - Been taking for few years when searching alternate to pills, and found the formula work for me. However, got to be kind of a chore to find something to dissolve and drink the powder as I am not a coffee drinker & that probably works great to dissolve from the heat. Learned early on water of and by itself is a poor choice as it won't dissolve. Pulpy type juices is printed on the bottle label as 'for best results, blend into pulpy type juices' and I got into that, but, all the same it meant drinking, every time, some kind of juice, buying/stocking some kind of juice, and it could be at times problem if at a location when such juices are not available. Then a couple years back I came across a reviewer, not sure if this powder version or another, who said he simply put a spoon of the powder directly in his mouth, and swallowed with a drink. Since I've come to know this version is literally tasteless and wouldn't cause any issues to put right in the mouth like some supplements can taste bitter etc, decided to try myself. I got the combo right the first time choosing a diet pepsi to wash it down: match made in heaven. All the issues of drinking in a cup resolved as the acidic pepsi with 3 to 4 swallows utterly cleared the powder. I learned since only need around 4 ounces of any acidic type diet soda - can be regular but I want to avoid calories - and that is enough to entirely send without any traces left from your mouth the calcium. No more fussing with remaining powder in cup that hasn't dissolved, or powder left on cups, etc,no more having to find 'pulpy' drinks, nor chugalug amounts I don't want, as only very small amount of any acidic soda completely washes the 1-1/2 teaspoon down. Only don't do it when you might be prone to chuckle, or have to answer anyone's pressing question, or you will spew out powder from your mouth. In a short time you can become a pro, know how to expertly put a heaping spoon directly into your mouth, not chuckle, and in 5 seconds chug down a shot of diet soda and have your dose without a trace left in you or on you or someone else or any cup. You will feel like a hipster at a bar, real cool, able to chug a shot of calcium in any adverse condition in under 5 seconds while all the amateurs are still sitting stirring and stirring to get to the almost dissolved point they can drink. Try it, you might like it, and perhaps impress somebody somewhere...only make sure when you do that to impress, not to chuckle near, or your hopeful cool will turn into a horrifying dust cloud, again another sign of another kind of amateur calcium taker.

What chemical is in this product that flags prop 65 warning. Will you please inform me of the facts?** A: I found this answer - Long and short of it is yes and noFood, vitamin and mineral supplements have not been spared from the issues that have cropped up. One supplement can contain several ingredients that are normal and useful in their safe levels but become toxic when multiplied. One ingredient that stands out in the issues of Proposition 65 is lead. Lead in its basic form is not knowingly added to food supplements but it can be found naturally in calcium carbonate. Calcium is one of the more popular mineral supplements that people take. It promotes the growth of healthy bones and teeth in all ages, prevents osteoporosis especially in women, and plays an important role in heart contraction. Pregnant women take calcium for themselves and for the baby they are carrying.A chief source of calcium are oyster shells. These oysters contain lead, taken in from the environment, as with other lead sources. A study that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association in September of 2000 revealed that more than half of the products examined had lead levels that were below the detection range of 0.25 ppm and the rest had lead content from 0.35 to 0.81 ppm, still well below the safe limit for lead. Further, calcium blocks lead absorption into the intestines and lessens the toxicity of lead.Standard for lead limit in pharmaceutical products is 10 ppm, according to the US Pharmacopoeia, and this figure has been used as the acceptable safe limit for herbal products and supplements as well. The director for the Institute for Traditional Medicine in Portland, Oregon has set a total daily lead exposure to 0.5 mg as normal in a clean environment. The state of California has set the "no significant risk level" for lead at 0.5 mcg per day.To make matters even better, food supplements that are manufactured in the US were found not to be contaminated with lead. The researchers have attributed this finding to the following factors: the ingredients used did not contain lead, the manufacturing equipments are not contaminated with lead and the water used in the production process is clean and lead-free. The bottom line was simple: the US companies had more stringent processing methods to ensure public health and safety than even the government required.All this information should put worries to rest. Unless a health agency of the government issues an advisory against a specific drug or supplement, the warning label on the bottle is probably not as serious as it sounds. This is not to dismiss the warning outright but rather to make an informed decision and weigh the pros and cons of taking a certain drug, and being better educated about Prop 65. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has no flavor and easily mixes with water or juice.

'nuf said! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fulfills my needs easily *by L***R on September 30, 2023* This powder is just so much better than those huge Calcium Citrate pills! Even the ones that say petite are are very large and hurt my throat so this powder is the best option for me! I just mix it into my juice with protein drink and I can’t even taste it!🤩 Seven years ago I had an X-ray of my back and was told that I have osteopenia which is the start of osteoporosis. I went to my doctor last week to ask about having another scan done to see an update. He told me that he’s seen so many women come through his office having been on flow max that have very, very, very bad side effects from it that are far worse than osteoporosis. Unfortunately, he said that it can actually make jaw bones more prone to breakage and such. So, instead of doing the flow max, he highly recommended taking Calcium Citrate because it is the most bioavailable form of Calcium. But he said that in order to make it more bioavailable it should be supplemented with Vitamin D. And of course he said that I should be doing lots of weight bearing exercises because this exercise is so important for strengthening bones. This is a nice, big bottle (1st pic) that should last over 2 months when taking a teas. and a half (600 mgs per day which is the recommended amount online and on this bottle) in some kind of liquid. I tasted it alone (3rd photo) and it doesn’t really taste like anything, slightly chalky if you take more than a tiny bit, and it is the consistency of flour IMHO. The bottle has 2 safety seals (see second pic) for those that are interested. Hope this helps and wishing you all strong bones!🎉🌟 ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Supplements, Calcium Citrate Powder, Highly Bioavailable Calcium, Supports Bone Health*, 8-Ounce - NOW Supplements, Magnesium Citrate, Enzyme Function*, Nervous System Support*, 120 Veg Capsules - NOW Foods Supplements, Magnesium Glycinate 100 mg, Highly Absorbable Form, 180 Tablets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1777495-foods-supplements-calcium-citrate-powder-highly-bioavailable-calcium-supports-bone](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1777495-foods-supplements-calcium-citrate-powder-highly-bioavailable-calcium-supports-bone) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
