BulkSupplements.com Calcium Citrate Powder - Calcium Supplement, High Bioavailable - Unflavored & Gluten Free, 4.5g per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

This seems to be a perfectly acceptable product. I actually purchased it for my puppies because growing puppies, like growing children, need lots of calcium. I haven’t taken it myself.I cannot speak to the purity of this product since I do not have the necessary laboratory equipment to analyze it, but it seems fine and is competitively priced. Like all powdered calcium, it’s very powdery and does tend to get all over everything so handle it carefully! Also, the fact that it has no flavor makes it easy to give to the puppies: I simply mix it with their food and they don’t seem to notice it at all.The only change that I would recommend would be to package the product in an airtight plastic bottle rather than in a plastic bag. This would make it easier to store and use, and would be neater. Of course, one could always transfer the calcium citrate to another container (carefully, so you don’t make a mess!).I do prefer calcium citrate to other forms of supplemental calcium. Even though it is less concentrated than calcium carbonate (you have to use more citrate than carbonate to get the same amount of calcium), it is more easily absorbed and does not cause the gastro-intestinal issues that calcium carbonate can cause. It doesn’t have the contamination that you can find in bone meal and dolomite either. As a matter of fact, calcium citrate and calcium lactate are the only forms of calcium that I would use or recommend to others.

I prefer powders to capsules, allows me to add this to yogurt or juice, oatmeal, whatever. It's not terribly grainy, well milled to a fine powder, but not so fine that it flies everywhere. The citrated form is more readily absorbed by the body. I don't get a lot of natural calcium from my diet as I'm lactose intolerant, and I don't drink fortified juices or drinks so this is an important way to supplement. Best if 500 mg taken in the morning and 500 mg taken mid-day (lunch). That way you can take your magnesium in the evening; calcium and magnesium should not be taken together as absorption is impaired. I find most Bulk Supplements of good quality and value.

BulkSupplements are the best. BulkSupplements never disappoint. The quality is always good and it offers the best value for the money.

Powdered supplements, consumed when dissolved in water, are easy to swallow, and well absorbed.The four-star rating, which applies to ALL supplements in Ziplock-like bags says that after multiple open/close operations, one side of the closure strip peels from the aluminized bag lining. I then need to close the bag with a spring clip or place it in a freezer bag. NO vendor tries to correct that.The neutral recommendation regarding "absorbency" stems from most people already absorbing dietary calcium so effectively.Calcium citrate, recommended by my wife's physician, is rarely needed. Most people get enough calcium from their diet as long as they have sufficient blood levels of vitamin D. Indeed, many absorb excesses.Calcium supplements are an easy recommendation for patients with osteopenia even though they are not effective at all for that condition. I purchased this product for reasons of family politics.If one needs calcium, citrate IS superior to tablets containing calcium carbonate. The carbonate is less absorbed by older consumers who lack sufficient stomach acid. Others with acid reflux or inflammation from excess acid already chew antacid lozenges based on calcium carbonate "i.e. Tums". Those might already deliver an excess.That is where I differ from the physician. EVERYONE needs to read current medical research before recommending or consuming supplements.

First of all, let's take a moment and wait for all the amazing, well meaning hippies and planet earth enthusiasts to leave this review section. Go on, I'll wait tilI I hear your birkenstocks clop clop clop down the hallway before I begin. Heaven forbid anyone of them buy a product that isn't made from 100% organic and blessed by New Zealand made vegetarian duck farts. Yes this product comes from China, so by default everything is evil and cruel in the world and toxic and we're going to give ourselves cancer because it's not double certified and and kosher blessed by a rabbi's fart to boot. Wanting to use this product wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the logic in seeing 10K plus positive reviews stating how these products have helped people (rolls eyes).Now that it's just you and I, I'll continue. I'm here because I was searching for amino acids to buy in bulk without fillers. I wanted something priced fair and pure. After all my searching, Bulk Supplements had the ideal products. The only thing that was left for me to do was scan through all the reviews to see if such products would help me. I have a connective tissue disorder so I made it a point to buy all the aminos that had an effect in regards to tissues of the body. I also bought Glutamine as I read that helped people with their SEVERE bread/wheat/carbohydrate cravings as I have severe bread cravings for that and dairy. I work out often and can never lost the extra 25 pounds because of my food addiction to wheat and dairy. After one day I felt a difference so noticeable I logged in and bought the other remaining 4 amino Acids I needed but did not buy before do to not wanting to spend so much. But since they work and it seems most of these will last 6 months to a year, I opened the floodgates and bought everyone that was unique to me. I ended up buying about 8 products on my first purchase 6 weeks ago.Coming from someone who has tried adding coconut oil, vitamins, probiotics, nothing ever seemed to make much of a difference. It wasn't until I started taking amino acids that everything moved forward for me in my health goals. THIS......STUFF.......WORKS! I also have chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm seeing progress in my energy and health. I want to add that I also bought the Potassium citrate. I can't EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW MUCH THAT ALSO HELPED ME! I work out every other day and I use the sauna for about 40 minutes. In conjunction with taking aminos and now getting about 5K (4700 the average, but I workout hard) mg of potassium citrate, I'm feeling so much better! Even in my workouts I had to increase the weight by about 20 percent on the machines I use, and I even had to add more reps onto my sets! My original workout felt like I never even worked out since taking these products! Now even with added weight and reps onto my workout regimen, I still feel like I didn't quite workout enough! But I keep my increases minimal as I don't want to go ahead to much. But I can't flipping believe how much these products have boosted what I can do in the weight room AND not feel like a gassed race horse when I'm done. This stuff is literally the MAGIC powder. And with how its helping me with regular health outside of working out and also keeping me from falling off on binge eating on pizza and ice cream, this stuff is it. I'll always be a consumer of these products.Since I already ordered 3 times from this company (LOL) in the last 6 weeks, I got three free sample products to try that I WOULD NOT NORMALLY BUY! But since they also helped, I ended up adding them onto my next order! And to those people that complained about getting the free samples being just a marketing ploy and other nonsense, BUGGER OFF! There are products I wouldn't have bothered to try but since I got to try them for free and I liked them, I added them onto my next purchase. Because they worked for ME. You're getting a product that could very well last for a month and free shipping, all you have to do is leave a review if you like it or not. Yes, what a scam bulk supplements is running (rolls eyes).As of now there are two other products I plan on ordering from them, the Melatonin and the BCAA 3-1-2 product. Again, I'm only doing this because of how much positive gains I'm seeing in my health and workout. Another bonus was I could never eat enough meat, I was always hungry for tuna, turkey, beef, I could never get enough and my grocery bill was always high. Now I can eat a normal serving of meat and I feel like I don't need anymore thanks to taking the Acetylcarnitine and the Creatine, components that are found in muscle tissue.How I take my supplements is as follows- I take one serving size amount of each one in the morning. Then in the evening I take one serving size of only the msm, ascorbic acid, acetyl carnitine, Arginine, L-Glutamine, D-Ribose, potassium citrate. I take this because of budget, I want what I have to last longer, but these products are most important in keeping my cravings at bay so I take them once more at night. You can take some of these 3 times a day it says, but I only do them all once, and what I just listed twice. If I was rich and could afford $300 in supplements every 2-3 months I'd take them 3 times day. But since I'm not I make them last :)In summary, what I take is what I feel my body needs. And I am 100% happy with the effects I have experienced. And as for odors like some people described when they open their packages, well.........Some of these are chemicals, aren't they? MSM will smell like a sulphur like smell, correct? Unless you want added scents to mask things (which I don't) I honestly have not had a problem with that. And for the foil cosing bag, what I did was go to Walmart and buy a package of the large sized mason jars and I use those to hold my amino's in. I can't see knocking off a star because of the foil bag seal. Just pour it in a wide mouth mason jar and get a measure spoon to dish it out.If you're wondering what products I've used with this company, if you're reading this review then this is the product I purchased and have in my pantry. I'm not rewriting a review for each item, so I am copying and pasting a review to use on every item I bought from them. Any other questions please ask, but I find that as a person with health issues and food issues these items have helped me beyond anything else I've ever tried.
