My periodontist strongly recommended taking a calcium citrate supplement, so I randomly chose this one. I took the recommended amount on the label for two and a half months. I don't know if I'm just sensitive or if there is an ingredient in this that is not natural, but I became really sick. I had lingering and ongoing pain in my kidneys and urinary tract for weeks, but did not make the connection to this supplement. I was tested repeatedly for urinary tract infections, had many blood tests, and had two abdominal scans at the emergency room, and many follow up visits to my regualar doctor and a urologist. No one could figure out my problem. After the two month mark, I started throwing up one hour after taking the nightly dose. My kidneys hurt so bad! It affected my daily life to the point where I had to change my schedule to fit how I was feeling! It then dawned on me that purhaps this supplement was the cause of my pain. I stopped taking it and within one week, I was fine. Pain and loose stools gone. I had the same problem only one other time in my life when I bought a cheap multiple vitamin from Walmart years ago. Well, $10,000 in docotr's bills later, I've learned to really investigate the ingredients in the products and be sure to buy from only pure, whole vitamin companies like Nature's Plus or Standard Process, for example. My periodontist said companies often add unnatural compounds (like the one used to give white paint its color into a calcium tablet) to turn it white. Calcium is supposed to be white naturally! I don't know what is in this one, but I won't be buying it again! I went to Standard Process supplements instead.
