"This is the worst supplement I have ever purchased and I have purchased a lot of them. First, it's not really a liquid. It is more like yogurt. When I tried to pour it into a spoon nothing would come out, then all the sudden about 6 ounces went on my kitchen floor. In addition, the children did not like the texture or taste. This is not a good product. I wish I had not bought it."

"I have a 4 year old boy who has become a picky eater. The food he is offered is healthy, not junk or packaged 'cuisine', nevertheless I need to be sure he's getting a boost now & then. I bought this simply from the description of it & it has turned out to be a hit! My boy loves the taste of it & willingly asks for it. I use a large plastic dropper to give it to him. I've told him if he wants to have strong bones & muscles for running (which he loves to do) he needs to take this white stuff (also to help with nerves). I have taken it myself & it is a little chalky & foamy, but not terribly so.
This isn't something from which you will see immediate results, but I have noticed he heads to bed more willingly & sleeps better after having a dose at bedtime. I am confident he is getting the calcium & magnesium needed to grow healthy & strong even when he refuses to eat what I offer!

"My kids are picky! They will drink this but not without my pushing them to do so. I do plan on sticking with it because I think it is the most nutritious calcium I have come across. It has vitamin D and the right amount of magnesium in it which is what you need in a calcium supplement. I'm surprised at the lack of good choices we have."
