- Product Information
- In the UK, many people’s diets provide borderline levels of calcium, particularly teenagers. A quarter of 4-year-olds, for instance, don’t meet the NRV calcium intakes for girls and women are critical because achieving optimum bone density by the age of 30 has been shown to help bones remain strong in old age.
Chewable Calcium 400mg is an easy way to optimise intake of calcium, with each chewable tablet providing a full 400mg per tablet together with 1 gram of FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides), a special type of soluble fibre. We’ve also included 2.5µg of chewable vitamin D, an important addition as it contributes to the normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and the maintenance of normal bones
Most manufacturers use sugar in their chewable formulas, but we've added FOS to our chewable calcium tablets for natural sweetness. FOS is a natural material extracted from chicory root that doesn’t cause tooth decay. We’ve also used a natural lemon flavouring, which continues to top our taste tests.
We’ve chosen to formulate our Chewable Calcium 400mg in easy-to-swallow , chewable tablets, making them suitable for children over four, who can’t yet swallow larger capsules.
Unlike many other companies, we manufacture and package our chewable vitamin D and calcium tablets in UK factories working to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure our quality standards are always met.
This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

I have taken chewable calcium tablets for several years , but was disappointed when my usual supplier stopped making them. I turned to Nature’s Best, where I have bought several other products over many years. I am very pleased to have found this calcium tablet, which is a pleasant flavour and easy to chew.

"I need time to judge the effectiveness"

I have osteoporosis and my doctor wants me to take calcium. It has only been two weeks I am taking the tablets. So I can not say whether it is effective or not. It tastes not awful, but not good either. Difficult to chew and swallow, especially for elderly.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As with the majority of our products, this should be used daily for at least three months before the effects are assessed. It would be great if you could leave a review after this time. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble chewing and swallowing the tablets. I have contacted you separately to discuss this further.

"Tablets Stick Together"

I keep these tablets in a cupboard yet they have become very soft and stick together and bend as I try to get one out. This happened even though the weather wasn't particularly warm.

"Contains Sucralose!"

Verified Purchase
I bought this for my teenage daughter as she cannot digest dairy products without suffering stomach problems. After reading recent scientific studies (June 2023) I have stopped buying these as they contain Sucralose with damages the gut lining and could lead to cancer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We have decided to use sucralose as it can be used at a very low level to make the product palatable. More than 100 scientific studies conducted over a 20-year period have conclusively demonstrated that sucralose is safe for consumption.
