Customer reviews about the product:
This product is one of the best raw calcium formulas. It contains significant amount of minerals needed to build a strong bone. Note that while bone consists of mostly calcium, taking calcium alone will not make it stronger without the other minerals or trace minerals. Surprisingly, it also contains high amount of raw magnesium in this product since standalone food based magnesium are expensive and low in mg. The ratio of calcium to magnesium here is 2:1 though ideally 1:1 is better. I like that this formula is vegan, highly bioavailable food based/raw and are not derived from limestone (calcium carbonate) or animal bones. Most non food based calcium has only 10-40% absorption and some people might have the strong stomach acid needed to digest it. There is significant amount of Vitamin D (1600 IU) though you might want to take more if you aren’t taking it. The recommended dosage is 5 capsules. Pricewise, it is quite expensive. However, you are already facing bone problems, then it will be life saving. If not, 3 capsules daily are probably good enough for maintenance and less costly as well. The capsules are not big and easy to swallow. It does not contain any filler, flow agent or binders which is good! Another thing to note is that it contains 20mg of 21 raw organic fruit & vegetarian blends which is less than 1mg per fruit/vegetable. If there are any macronutrients in there, it is probably insignificant imo. Check out my page for more reviews!
I have taken this raw calcium with strontium for over 2 years; had excellent bone density results; actually rebuilt bone. The only problem was (and note I said WAS) loose stools; I now take calcium powder out of capsules, mix with applesauce, yogurt, etc. and no more problem! The capsule itself was the problem. Anyone having digestive problems might try that before giving up on it. Great product!
Easy to swallow with their veggie caps, great extra minerals and vitamins to increase calcium absorption. Decent ratio of Ca to Mg. (New Chapter’s version is slow in Mg.) Most importantly, great source and form of calcium that will not cause the harm the less absorptive forms can in contributing to heart trouble, kidney stones and the such. Choosing your calcium supplements very carefully is very important to your long-term health. This and New chapter are the two brands of Ca I trust. Many will do more harm than good. Stay away from Calcium Carbonate.
I have always experienced low back ache the first few days of my monthly cycle. This product gets totally rid of my low back ache! Something I did not even expect. My blood levels have been low on calcium in the past. I have tried other calcium supplements, even calcium citrate tends to give me chest pain. I do not experience this with raw calcium from GOL. I have to admit I was leary about taking this, but now I am glad I tried it! It has made me almost forget I am having my monthly because there is no back pain!
I’ve been using Garden of Life Living Calcium for several years and it’s been working for me….until recently (I’m post menopausal). I noticed my nails starting to break and I thought I needed to add something else to my regime. I started on this calcium, 5 a day, but I started having trouble sleeping. I added 3 a day of this raw calcium in the morning plus 5 a day of Living Calcium the rest of the day (2 with lunch and 3 with dinner) and, voila, my nails grew back strong and healthy and I slept like a baby again…yeah!!!
The ingredients say it all. This is a wonderful calcium product.
I recently started using these as I’m on a close to 100% raw vegan diet and wanted to make sure I was having all the calcium I needed. Another plus of this supplement is that it includes a full dose of Vitamin D, thereby combining important minerals and vitamins that work well together.
believe garden of life is a good product
like that you can empty capsules into a drink
I am a fan of Garden of Life products. My stomach tolerates this easily, although the number of tablets seems quite high.
A little early to be able to tell a difference.
It’s the packing of items for shipment that I’m giving a ZERO RATING!
No complaints on products.
No improvement yet, but am hopefull. Dr. said it takes years. I have osteopenia, beginning stages of osteoporsis.
What this formula did for me was enable me to discover that I have an intolerance for raw broccoli and other veggies, unfortunately. This upset my digestive system terribly – which was disappointing because of all the great nutritional value this formula has.
This product caused stomach distress and I had to stop using it
Raw calcium combined with calcium advancec from the same brand work well together and can be taken on an empty stomach. Does not aggravate Crohn’s disease like most liquid calcium supplements. I sleep like a baby since I started taking these two products.
Although the product sounds great it upset my G. I. tract big time. Could not continue.
I like these because you don’t have to take them with food,(but I do anyway) and they raised the calcium on my blood test (so I figure they work). Also, they don’t have the fillers and junk regular pills do, and they are GF.
The draw backs are the cost, and the fact that you have to take five a day. I have to take over 40 supplement pills a day so less is more in my world.
When I was diagnosed with osterporosis I searched for foods high in calcium. I learned that onions, broccoli and collards were very good sources. So this product with “food based calcium” but not dairy is definitely something I’m interested in.
This is the product I’ve been looking for. While most vitamin D3 I have found is not vegan as it is derived from sheep, I was so happy to stumble upon this product. Not only does it have vitamin D but a whole host of other beneficial supplements, and not only is it vegan it is raw! I have just received it so cannot really rate its effectiveness as of yet but I have full confidence that it won’t let me down. Please keep making great vegan products!
So far, looks good! Take them daily.
This seems so much much better than taking supplements made of bone, etc. I love that this is raw and natural (and I’m not even a vegan).
expensive but definitely the best calcium supplement on the market
I have just started taking this new product. I came highly recommended. Just sooo many to take in a day.
I live in Canada and I really enjoy ordering from iherb.com. They ship fast, have competitive prices and a huge selection of popular brands.
Love the whole food vitamins and this one is one of the best
I have been usiong this product every morning for a couple of years now. Really like it and iherb price is the best.
High quality, natural food source of Calcium with brilliant addition of Vitamin K. Best price I have found!
Have used before, like all of Garden of Life products
My mom is is her sixties and said she feel more strength in her after switched to Garden of Life Raw Calcium.
Best Calcium product I’ve found, and I’ve tried many. Don’t like being without it.
garden of life made another excellent product.i really love the K,D,Calcium and strontium combination in one product along with some probiotics.this is a very solid choice for anyone wanting to cover his daily calcium intake using supplements.
I feel safe and my body benefits from this product.
I have taken this but don’t take it on a regular basis. I have read about getting too much calcium but this is the best form to take because it is from whole food sources.
I recently had my dental surgery wherein a small portion of my jaw bone was cut in order for my dentist to be able to extract the roots of the tooth. It was a very painful procedure. After the tooth extraction, I decided to take Raw Calcium, I noticed the bone and the gum area where surgery was made healed quickly within a few days. I also have more energy and sleep better while taking Raw Calcium. I am happy to recommend this product to my family and friends. Thank you for great products from Garden of Life.
good natural source of calcium.
I like all of Garden of Life products. they are one of the better supplements on the market. I need a boost in my calcium plus others to maintain good health. I recommend this product.
So much better ingredients than any other calcium product I’ve ever purchased. All from plants instead of rocks. Plants are so much healthier for you. Highly recommend. Leg cramps have disappeared since taking this product because it relaxes your muscles giving them the necessary calcium during regeneration while you sleep.
This calcium formula has all the ingredients needed to support bone health in one dose.
It soothes my stomach and helps my sleep. it’s a keeper!
My mother have taken it for a month, she is very happy with it.
Prefer to eat calcium derived from plants and fruits.
Body loves this way of calcium. I only need to take 2 a day as I have a small body. The body does well on it and it has the added benefit of keeping you regular in the bowel department. Take too much and it gets a little too regular.
Love that it’s a whole food product. I’m a 24 year old female and making sure I take enough calcium now to prevent future damage, especially since my family has a history of weak bones.
Wapń organiczny z alg o bardzo dobrym składzie i wysokiej przyswajalności dzięki , któremu można odbudować układ kostny przy osteoporozie.
i like that they’re raw, need to take quite a lot of them during the day which isn’t very practical. hope my bones are happy.
expensive but good product
very pleased with this product.
product is OK
This is a nice product.
I took it for 2 months the time i had a spinal fracture, it was good , n for my stomach also !!!!
The product itself seems great but I will not order it from iHerb again because the large glass bottle arrived broken. Had to pick shards of glass out of everything.
