Vitamer Laboratories Natural Citrus Flavor Chewable Calcium
Brand: Vitamer Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, but specific data on its effectiveness or unique benefits for this brand is not available. Without details on the exact dosage per chewable tablet or the presence of vitamin D, which is critical for calcium absorption, we cannot confirm its value compared to standard calcium supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a structural mineral that your body uses to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It also supports nerve signal transmission and muscle contraction [NIH ODS]. The "natural citrus flavor" is a taste additive, but no data on its effect on absorption or tolerability is provided.
Safety profile
Data not available. No specific adverse event reports from the FDA data were provided for this product. General calcium supplement risks include constipation and, at very high intakes (above 2,000–2,500 mg daily from all sources), a potential increased risk of kidney stones [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should check the label for the exact amount of elemental calcium per chewable tablet. For most adults, the goal is 1,000–1,200 mg of total calcium daily from food and supplements combined [NIH ODS]. Without this dosage information, we cannot endorse this specific product over others.
