Although I thought I had read the label carefully on the web site before purchasing, I learned this was calcium carbonate not calcium citrate when the package arrived. This means you have to take more of the tablets daily to get the required calcium. Will not reorder when these are gone.

I discovered my Vitamin D level was down to 5. Normal is 30-100 ng/mL. I started taking this in addition to Kirkland's Vitamin D3 (2000 i.u) daily. Two tablets each, daily. In three weeks my Vitamin D level was up to 18, and even higher now back to normal levels. Have been taking this for a year now.

We were pretty much shocked to see that it has sodium lauryl sulfate in it. This is an industrial chemical agent used in cleaning products. It is even controversial when it is used in toothpaste, and yet it is in Kirkland Calcium which is supposed be a health product. We bought it from Costco without looking at the label and will return it.

I recently got a call from my HMO. It seems they wanted to run a bone-density test, for whatever reason. I guess that bones become weaker with age and I had turned 75 not too long ago. Well, sure enough, my bones had less than optimal density and that put me at risk for a break. The result was a surprise and I'd suggest that any older person ought to have this simple test. It was suggested that I get increased load-bearing exercise, such as walking, and that I take a calcium supplement of Calcium plus Vitamin D.

I picked up a jar of Kirkland Signature Calcium plus Vitamin D tablets at my local Costco (also available online) and now take one twice a day with my meals. All is going well. I find the large tablet a little hard to swallow, but it rather easily breaks in half and goes down well with food. I won't know of the effects for some time, but I have confidence the deficiency will decrease. KS supplements are highly rated and are typically at a bargain price.

Kirkland Signature Calcium 600 Mg + D3 500 Tablets

I ordered these because I was looking for supplements do perform as advertised and within the auspcies of USP. Also consumer reports rated these highly. I do not know yet if they have improved anything. I don't have any particular bone degeneration in accordance with my last bone scan, but always pay attention to diet and exercise to maintain my bones and health.

I can get the quality of Kirkland products(consumer reports always recommends Kirkland products)without having to leave my house

Good price for the amount, helped heal my stress fracture, probably as any calcium supplement would. Even one pill a day caused constipation, a side effect of taking calcium; I was able to remedy with magnesium supplement. Large pill, sometimes hard to swallow.

I didn't get Kirkland brand - I got some other knockoff- and the amount of vit D3 was lower than advertised. The first disappointing experience with Amazon in
at least 6 years of regular ordering.
