Puritan's PrideAbsorbable Calcium 1200 mg Plus Vitamin D3 25mcg 1000 IU with Bone-Active, Dietary Supplement for Bone Strength, Heart, Nerve, Muscle, and Immune Support, 200 Rapid Release Softgels

The pills are a little large, but I don’t have any trouble swallowing them. You can NOT break them in half to improve the ease of use, BUT if you have any difficulty swallowing pills, SWALLOW THEM POINTING DOWNWARDS...These pills DO NOT UPSET MY STOMACH, and THE STRENGTH IS RECOMMENDED BY THE FDA. I’m not a doctor, but Calcium is doctor recommended: ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WHO LOSE THEIR BONE DENSITY.There is no texture to speak of, as these are smooth. There is no taste because you simply swallow it with a liquid.They were very fairly priced and I’m going to do a subscribe and save with them because I won’t want to skip any doses. I would definitely recommend this product without reservation.

This brand definitely isn't loaded with a bunch of toxic chemicals and colors. The pills are large, but the shape makes it pretty easy to swallow. I will buy again.

I've been taking these for a few weeks and feel confident in the quality. The added Vitamin D3 is a big plus for absorption, and I like that it supports more than just bone health—heart, nerves, and immune system too. The softgels are easy to swallow, and the bottle lasts a good while. Great value

I don't really care too much for these, they are large and hard to swallow. They are ok. Just the size is too big for me, have to make sure I don't choke. Think I will find something else next time.

Must have for seniors!!

I like these calcium capsules. I expect they absorb better than the tablet kind. They include the necessary vitamin D to help the calcium absorb and work well.I took calcium for years for my bones, but a (grrr!) medical practitioner told me to stop taking them. Turned out that was the worst possible thing. Over the next several years I started having "incidents" with kidney stones which were generally minor though quite "uncomfortable". When I eventually had one bad enough to put me into the hospital I learned that low calcium intake can *cause* kidney stones!! So now I have another reason besides bone strength to take these.I have used more common calcium capsule/tablet supplements for years. There are only a few brands I trust and Puritan's Pride is one of my favorites for high quality and good price. In something like supplements I think a trusted brand does matter.The capsules are a little bigger than the pill form I took before. About the same size as my 1200mg fish oil capsules and I have no problem swallowing them together. Unlike pills you can't split these capsules.I'm very pleased with these Puritan's Pride 1200mg Calcium+D softgels and they gets 5 solid stars from me for quality and value!

Excellent product

Unfortunately these are a very large pill to swallow --I still can but might be harder on some folks to swallow this size pill
