While Caucasian and Asian women are at greatest risk, all middle aged women, those with a family history of the disease, and older men and women are at risk for developing osteoporosis. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above 200mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.

I've been taking this for about a year, with breakfast and supper as recommended. The new formula has a milder, less sweet lemon flavor but I still find it palatable. The texture is smoother as well (it used to be somewhat grainy). The new formula ups the vitamin D amount from 500 to 600 mg., in line with current research indicating that the RDA for this vitamin is way too low..

I've been a long time user of this product and was particularly drawn to it because it is so easy to take and actually tasted terrific! I was even able to get my daughters to take it, which is so important with a family history of osteoporosis.HOWEVER, I am very unhappy with my latest shipment. They have apparently changed the formula and now it is chalky and unpleasant. [...] I'm very disappointed and am searching for an alternative calcium supplement because of it.
Comments about OS Cal 500 + D, Chewable Tablets, Light Lemon Chiffon, 60 ea:
I've been diagnosed with Osteopenia and don't want to take prescription medications for it. I was delighted to find Os-Cal, the brand my doctor recommended, in a chewable form. I've been told that the chewable tablets absorb into your body faster. Combined with excercize every day I believe I will be able to prevent having to take those meds with so many side effects.

I have taken several different types of calcium supplements & find this one most flavorful. Don't mind taking my calcium now. Having Vit D with the calcium is also a plus.
Comments about OS Cal 500 + D, Chewable Tablets, Light Lemon Chiffon, 60 ea:
I am 25 years old and I felt that I didn't get enough calcium so started taking these. I love them because they taste great and save me from having to swallow one of those HUGE calcium capsules or pills. Even if you don't like the taste of lemons, this flavor is SO LIGHT that you won't really even notice it. I noticed a big difference in my nail growth while taking these.
