A highly popular and well-formulated children's chewable calcium supplement that includes bioavailable calcium and magnesium, offering good support for growing bones and excellent palatability for kids.
Quantity: 90
This NaturesPlus Animal Parade product is specifically designed for children, offering 250mg of elemental calcium as a calcium aminoate complex and 50mg of magnesium as a magnesium aminoate complex per serving. The aminoate forms are generally considered highly absorbable. The inclusion of magnesium alongside calcium is a significant advantage, as these minerals work synergistically for bone mineralization and overall balance, providing a better Ca:Mg ratio (5:1) than isolated calcium products. The chewable animal-shaped tablet with a natural vanilla sundae flavor is highly appealing to children, promoting consistent intake, which is crucial for growing bones. Its extremely high review count (over 40,000) indicates strong consumer satisfaction. While it is tailored for children and the dose per serving is not sufficient for adult requirements, it stands out as a well-formulated and effective option within the children's calcium supplement market, effectively supporting bone development in its target demographic.
- Specifically designed for children, with an appealing chewable form and flavor for excellent compliance.
- Uses highly bioavailable Calcium Aminoate Complex and Magnesium Aminoate Complex.
- Includes both calcium and magnesium, offering a better synergistic balance for bone health.
- Extremely popular with a very high number of positive reviews, indicating strong acceptance by parents and children.
- Elemental calcium dose (250mg) is low for adult needs, as it's formulated for children.
- Does not include Vitamin D or Vitamin K2, which are important for optimal calcium absorption and utilization, even for children (though D often supplemented separately for kids).
- Always keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental overdose.
- Parents should ensure their child's overall diet and sun exposure contribute to Vitamin D needs, as this product does not include it.
