Viactiv

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am having email trouble, so I am using the

email for the first time. I hope this works.

Has anyone else tried these calcium chews and been

impressed?

I have been taking them and find they are an

incredibly easy and cheap source of calcium. While

they are not the optimum way to get the calcium

because they are encased in chocolate and sugar or

high fructose corn syrup, I find that getting calcium

this way is better than not getting calcium at all.

I was diagnosed with osteopenia in May, but haven't

done anything really proactive since then to rectify

it. I find calcium supplements in pill form give me

brain fog. But with these calcium chews, I can easily

get 1000-1500 mg a day! Piece of cake.

There is only one caution I would give you guys when

buying this product, and that is to read your labels.

AVOID the ones that are made with hydrogenated or

partially hydrogenated oils! These include the orange

cream ones and the carmel flavor. Also some of the

generic labels, like at WalMart (Spring Valley label)

and Target are to be avoided--they contain the nasty

hydrogenated oils.

The cheapest ones I found so far were at KMart--it is

in a canister that looks just like Viactiv, but they

are just called " Calcium Chews " , sitting right next to

the name brand. They were only $4.99 a box, compared

to $6.75 for the Viactiv brand. These also have no

partially hydrogenated oils. Long's Drugs also has

these " Calcium Chews " , same canister, for $5.99.

Thanks to J for suggesting these!

Patty
