About the product
Description
NOW Foods calcium carbonate is a pure powder with a single ingredient, calcium from calcium carbonate, and no capsule or tablet shell. Half a level teaspoon a day gives 600 mg of calcium, which is 75 % of the NRV. The label suggests taking it with a meal and stirring it into juice, for example tomato or orange. A 340 g pack gives 200 servings, enough for 200 days. Unlike Swanson calcium citrate capsules, where two a day give 400 mg of calcium, the powder is dosed by the spoon and contains no gelatin. The label marks the product for adults only.
