"I purchased these when my daughter was 16 mos old and she didn't like milk. I wanted calcium citrate since it is the easiest to absorb and this was one of the few children's products I found. My pediatrician thinks they are excellent and my daughter loves them - Perfect! Great price too!"

"I bought these for my toddler who's allergic to dairy and needs calcium supplements. He's starting to like them more, but was unsure at first. I don't blame him, their kind of big and the texture is gritty and chalky. The mild vanilla flavor is OK though. I really like the nutritional content too!"

"I'll be sixty in Sept. and had a vsg Dec. 07 so I need 1500mg Calcium a day. I needed another form to take that was quick and easy and CITRATE.
Carlson Chewable Calcium fit my need. It does have a vanilla taste, but unfortunately it also has a chalky taste. I wish it had some Vitamin D to aid in absorption but I feel it's a good quality calcium and works for me to help me get in my 1500mg a day (along with other sources). I have recommended this to others at my wls support group.

"My children won't take the stuff. I am taking it myself, though for me it is too sweet. I bought 2 bottles and have a lot to go through. Wrong move to purchase it. Carlson's is a great company, the taste of these calcium tabs is yuk!"

"We had been looking for a product with a good amount of absorbable calcium in it since our kids were allergic to dairy. It took a while, but we finally found Carlson's Chewable Calcium for Kids. It has the type and quantity of calcium we were looking for in a yummy chewable tablet! Our kids love it!"
