I had been thinking for a while that I needed to start taking calcium supplements again. It had been years since I had, and I decided to do some research before committing to a product.

As anyone who has read anything about calcium absorption and the human body knows, the calcium from dairy products is not a good source for strengthening bones and muscles in humans. To the contrary, the proteins in dairy products actually leech calcium FROM your bones. Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are the most readily absorbed options on the market. What was new information to me was learning that certain levels of vitamin D and magnesium are also necessary for proper absorption.

I have difficulty in swallowing pills/vitamins, so I wanted a chewable that tasted good. I was so happy when I came across the TwinLab calcium wafers. They have a citrus taste that is pleasant, and are easy to munch. They also have the needed amounts of vitamin D and magnesium.

We ordered one bottle to make sure they would work for us, and we were pleased. I have searched online to find the best deal. There are widely varying costs & shipping out there, so take the time to find the best value. Currently we are getting ours from Vitacost.com. I have also seen them on Amazon.com. So far, I have not been able to locate a local source for these, it sure would be nice to not have to pay shipping costs though.
