Customer Reviews of Viactiv Soft Calcium Chews, 500+D+K, Caramel, 90-Count Boxes (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: NOT the best way to get your calcium
Summary: 1 Stars
As a woman, I too have concerns about building strong bones and staying healthy. However, this product is NOT my idea of a health supplement.
Just glance at the ingredients list (where items must, by law, appear in order of predominance): First comes "Corn Syrup" and "High Fructose Corn Syrup"--these have calories but NO nutritional value; they're used simply because they are the cheapest sweetening agents available. They're also likely to come from GMO corn (meaning it's been genetically modified to withstand high doses of petrochemical pesticides and/or herbicides).
Further down, there's "Soy Lecithin." While regular lecithin is derived from egg yolks, soy lecithin is chemically extracted from soy (and most likely GMO soy, to boot). Essentially, it's a waste product that comes from the manufacturing of soybean oil. You see, the "sludge" that's left over from soy refining is de-gummed with chemical solvents and (voila!) becomes "soy lethicin."
"Glyceryl Monostearate" is a synthetic, petroleum-based emollient and emulsifier (frequently used in makeup products...yum). And "Artificial Flavor" (could they BE more obscure?) is likely to contain dozens of chemical compounds.
Even the "healthy" part of this product, the "Calcium Carbonate" itself, happens to be the cheapest form of calcium on the market. What's more, like all inorganic forms of calcium, it's poorly absorbed (only 5-10% actually gets into your body).
These days, there are so many HEALTHIER options when it comes to vitamins and nutritional supplements that there's really no reason for putting this kind of petro-chemical cocktail into your body. The fact that this can be sold (and actually recommended) as a "health" product is a real shame.
