Cons
a bit chalky

I like this form of Calcium, only thing is the 1st ingredient is sugar. I cut the wafers in half and take twice/day.

The whole family uses these on a daily basis and the kids and hubby really love them, but I only give them a 4 because they're a little bit chalky. They are HUGE too, so it takes multiple bites to get 1 wafer down. They do have a pretty good taste though, which is why everyone likes them so much. I would probably purchase them again, since they come in a huge container and last us for a while without breaking the bank.

They taste great and it's a good company supposedly. Very easy and vegitarian/vegan way to get calcuium!! I think they have the good kind of calcium in them too...

I normally buy these at the natural store but its not close by for me and cost a lot more so I looked online and found these. The price is awesome. It's nearly half the cost and the shipping was really fast. My only gripe is that some of the wafers are broken. Its not really that I mind because it doesn't affect the potency or anything but I would have at least have liked to know that ahead of time. Kind of like a "Seconds" warning or something. I don't think it happened in shipping since its more then a few broken but all and all, I would buy them again, hence the four star rating. ^_^

I found this calcium supplement after my barriatric surgery, because I needed a chewable calcium that also had magnesium. This fit the criteria of my program, so I bought some. The wafers have a pleasant taste, practally yummy and are not too chalky. The flavor is hard to describe, but is like a mild creamsicle or orange sherbet. The wafers are quite large (a little smaller than a Ritz cracker)so I usually have to take a couple of bites to eat it. Not a problem for me, since I like the flavor. This calcium really is a Cal SNACK!

Since I found Cal Snack no other calcium supplement will do. I would recommend this calcium supplement highly for those who like a chewable.
