finally powdered calcium

[Guest guest]

The company that makes ProCel products, Global Health, is coming out with a

powdered calcium citrate, 500 mg per scoop. Has the vitamin D, no

magnesium, and no flavoring. Just the calcium. Tasted it in plain water,

and it was sorta like watery chalk. It's...well....sorta like you'd expect

a mineral to taste. Not " bad " actually, not " good " either - just sorta

" there " if you get my thinking. The cost is going to be wonderfully cheap -

about 7 cents a serving of 500 mg. That's better than most calcium citrate

pills, I believe. I think my pills run about 17 cents each. I think it

will mix fine in almost anything, but it has no suspension of it's own - the

mineral settles to the bottom of the glass if you don't ingest it quickly.

It's certainly not yummy. Not gross either. Should be available in a few

more weeks.
