Ambivalent

I received a bottle of Nature's Bounty Calcium with Vitamin D3 free as part of a goody bag for a Women's Fair/Market. I thought it was an interesting item given the prevalence of Osteoporosis in women. I am somewhat ambivalent about them though.

I like gummy vitamins. I have to take a lot of prescription medication, so they are a bit of a treat for me. Calcium is something I have to be careful about because it can interfere with my medication so the timing has to be just right. Gummies mean that I don't have to carry water around to take them if the time falls during a meeting or on the go. But the taste of these are a combination of chalky and very sweet fruit-flavored yoghurt. Not really appealing. I honestly have most of the bottle left months in, because I "forget" to take them, and reach for my multivitamins instead later in the day. I won't purchase more when I either finish the bottle or they expire. The taste may be ok for others though, I thought the texture was nice.

Convenient but not a huge fan of the texture

Although it does the job of being a convenient way to get your calcium supplements in, the texture and flavour of the gummies can get a little unpleasant, likely due to the calcium component. I do like that there are 2 flavours for some variety. They're a good option if you find that having your calcium in gummy form is a good incentive for you to take it daily!

These are yummy, aside from the yellow ones. If left for too long, they get insanely hard.
