"I bought this supplement and the milk chocolate version at the same time, and I think the milk chocolate is a lot better. This supplement takes way too long to melt, and it seems too bitter to me. Also, the milk chocolate has a little more vitamin D and fewer calories."

"This is not the best *chocolate* I've ever tasted, but it is the best calcium supplement I've ever tasted ;-)

Because the calcium supplement is tasty dark chocolate, I can satisfy my chocolate craving and my body's need for a calcium supplement all in one little chocolate ball.

The chocolate is a bit hard and waxy, but melts nicely in the mouth and tastes quite good. I enjoy this a lot better than the various chewy chocolate types of calcium supplement, and the ingredient list is considerably less scary than those chewy kinds.

The only thing I wish is that it came in a supplement which balanced the calcium with the appropriate dose of magnesium as well.

"This is the best tasting calcium supplement I have tried. It doesn't have all the artificial junk that is in most of the calcium chews. This has a solid consistency so I like to take it with my green tea in the morning. The warm tea melts the chocolate and satisfies my chocolate cravings. (not as good if you don't take it with a hot drink)"

"Hey this isn't a perfect chocolate experience - but it does an adequate job. Don't give it too much movement in your mouth - it will crumble a bit - which is not appealing. I let it melt slowly and the flavor is actually quite nice - very rich.

It serves a purpose for me - which is one more way to get calcium into my diet. It also serves as a nice chocolate hit late at night.

"What a great and delicious way to get your calcium!! I also feel that it is probably absorbed better because it is digested as food content, as opposed to just swallowing a supplement. I take one morning and night and never forget because of the delicious taste of the product. Absolutely NO chalky calcium taste!!"

"I got these because other reveiwers said they actually tasted good.
Yuck--I am a chocolate fiend and don't even want to eat these.
It's not that they are as aweful as they are just not good.
They are hard and when you eat them the outside gets slimy while the inside is still hard--no melting in your mouth at all.
I hope my bone density is at least going up....
