Large Tablets - too hard to swallow

I had taken Alive Calcium before but is was in capsules not tablets. The tablets are too big for me to swallow, and also need to take 4 a day.

Excellent vitamins

These vitamins contain much more than calcium and have everything that I need! They are excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs to boost their calcium intake. Easy to swallow, too.

Quite honestly I don't know how these work. I can only say I like the fact they are derived from whole food, which is better than stone or un-natural ingredients.

Is this vegan?

beth sJul 21, 2013

Beth, My son is a vegan and I am a vegetarian. I had checked on this calcium source and it said "This wild-harvested, plant-sourced calcium is derived from a South American marine algae called Algas Calcareas. The entire kiwi-fruit size algae ball is hand harvested, sun dried, then milled into a powder. There is no extraction process or additives used – just pure whole food." So all we can do as consumers is trust that what is said is true. Natures Way has been around a long time and has a good reputation. So, I am trusting that YES this is vegan.Joan

Joan RJul 21, 2013

The Alive Calcium Bone Formula does not say it is Vegan. All the ing. are from fruit & veggie sources along with Red Algae. It is gluten fee. Contains no sugar, yeast,wheat, dairy products, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. I am taking it for Osteoperosis. I did not want to take the prescription drugs for it. Took it to my Dr. to look at and he thought it was a good product. Hope this helps you.

Sue HJul 21, 2013

If you read the ingredients, this bone formula is derived from fruits, soybean extract, vegetables and red algae. I'm not an expert on what is vegan or not, my guess this is vegan.

Louise VJul 21, 2013

I would say yes -- the box states that all of the calcium... in ALIVE is from plant sources.......I hope that answers your question . ..Laura

Can I give this to my 12 year old daughter?Thanks

veronica w.May 14, 2014

Best Answer: It might be best if you search the internet for information on the calcium needs of a 12 year old child. While I might believe that the ingredients and amounts in this formula are safe, I and most other customers are not knowledgeable enough to give an answer in this area. Perhaps you might want to talk with a pediatric specialist to get a professional opinion. I did see where some studies have been done on the subject with children in this age range. These are available on the internet.

Joan RMay 14, 2014

Can you chew or crush this product?

A shopperAug 4, 2014

I have not tried either of these methods, but I think the tablets can be crushed for sure. The tablets are not coated with anything. Also, there is nothing in the instructions saying not to crush or chew. I am buying these because they are gluten free and made from all natural ingredients--no sugar, yeast, wheat, dairy, artificial flavors/colors or preservatives. I hope this helps.

Larraine BAug 4, 2014

I chew these and have no problem with it. I cannot take any large pills of any kind. I also do not have a problem with any digestive issues from chewing. Hope this helps you.

Sue HAug 4, 2014

Since I can't swallow big pills I do chew the Alive Calcium Bone Formula & then drink water. The taste does not bother me.

Shirley KAug 4, 2014

I am sorry but I only swallowed the tablet whole. I am not certain re: it's chew- or crush-ability. Sorry.

beth sAug 4, 2014

I suppose it is possible. I had no trouble swallowing it without trying that.

Is this product 100% GMO-FREE? Thanks.

A shopperJan 17, 2014

I searched on the web and could not find where is specifically said "GMO Free". Some of the websites alluded to it but when I clicked through, it was not addressed.On the company's website, it says "We were the first major supplement company to be certified as an organic food processor." which makes me think that there products should be GMO free, but, again, it is not clearly stated. I do see that many of the ingredients are, indeed, organic, but not all seem to be.Sorry, not more help than this. But I do like all their products.

What is the U.P.C. for this product in the 120 tablet bottle? What is the U.P.C. for this exact formula in the 60 tablet count bottle. I need this item in the 120 count product. This website displays the item I want to buy, only in the 60 count option. Thinking this may be a database mixup.

Does this product contain algaecal ?

A shopperAug 26, 2014

I know this answer is a little late, but it may help others. Algaecal is a brand name. What the requester wanted to know is whether the product contained the same algae... Algas calcareas, red algae found on the shores of South America i.e. Lithothamnion superpositum. Both products contain red algae, but possibly from different species of Lithothamnion, since the species on this product is unspecified.

Arlene A.Aug 22, 2018

No it doesn't contain AlgaeCal. Look at the supplement fact closely. It says calcium FROM AQUAMIN CALCIFIED MINERAL SOURCE RED ALGAE LITHOTHAMNIOM SP. WHOLE PLANT. If it's AlgaeCal it will have AlgaeCal label on it and will be shown as Calcium from AlgaeCal

wendy c.Sep 26, 2014

Yes since plant based it is supposed to be better for your as other calcium supplements build up in the blood systems adding to high cholestoral problems per an orthopaedic doctor I spoke to

5 Nutrients Other Than Calcium That Support Healthy Bones

As anyone who was told to drink their milk growing up knows, calcium and strong bones practically go hand-in-hand. And though this mineral does your bones plenty of good (after all, our bones are literally built out of calcium!), it isn’t the only nutrient needed for bone health. Here are five other major players.
