Important Information on Osteoporosis: Research shows that certain ethnic, age and other groups are at a higher risk for developing osteoporosis, including Caucasian and Asian teen and young adult women, menopausal women, older persons and those persons with a family history of fragile bones.
A balanced diet with enough calcium and regular exercise throughout life will help you to build and maintain healthy bones and may reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis.
Daily intake above 2,000mg elemental calcium is unlikely to provide added benefits.
Tums provides an annual grant to the NOF for osteoporosis research and education.

I'm on a daily ppi medication for acid relief. Sometimes I forget to take it or it doesn't work well enough. This is the fastest relief I have found yet. Also, from my understanding, It's vegan.
I usually gag at the thought of the taste of meds. I'm very sinsative to taste and smells. This does not bother me at all.
