Child Life Liquid Calcium/Magnesium,Natural Orange Flavor Plastic Bottle, 16-Fl. Oz. (Pack of 3)

It was really bad that I took it out today to eat it and it turned out to be expired. These are three bottles that I just bought about a month ago

My toddlers are liking the flavor while getting a much-needed supplement. I would recommend it.

👍

I think this is a great product. I have checked the vitamin-mineral combination of other brands (as well as if they have the more absorbable form of the supplement) and this brand is one of the best ones out there. I'd like for it to have more magnesium per dosage (literature suggests the importance of more Magnesium in our diet) but I can get a separate magnesium supplement to reach my desired dose. I have given this to my child for almost a month now to help with attention/focus and in combination with a good multivitamin and other supplements, we are seeing big improvements! Do some research and find out what dosage would be effective for your needs because I think a big part of folks not believing or seeing the benefits of vitamin/mineral supplements is that they don't take an effective dose. With the way our food is produced now, the regular dose might not be effective. Don't give up on supplements - they help and in many cases help tremendously when taken in the amount that your body needs, which may be more than the recommended daily dose.

The taste is very good.

I've purchased this item many, many times over the past few years and buy it in bulk now, at least 3-4 bottles at a time. Including from the seller OxKom which others have complained about. I have not yet encountered a bad batch--all the batches we've had have been bright white. If you get a different color, like dark ivory or yellow, I would return it. It may not be perfect for everyone but it works great for us. I buy it for one of my sons who has a number of food allergies, including dairy, soy, and nuts, as well as a gluten sensitivity, for whom it was really hard to find a regular source of calcium without loading him up with rice milk. I started him on this calcium supplement around age 2 years old, with just a few drops from a dropper until he got used to the taste, and now he drinks a little bit of it (about 1 TBSP), using a plastic medicine cup (like the kind that comes for free on top of a bottle of liquid Children's Tylenol or Advil) after his meal and if he doesn't get it he makes sure to ask for it, because to him it tastes like a treat (he literally says, "mmm, yummy calcium!"). The taste is sweet, like vanilla with a faint hint of orange. The texture is smooth but thick, like Pepto Bismol or milk of magnesia. I was really relieved to find this product that works for someone with numerous food allergies, and it's worked well for us for years.
