A revelation for me
Gentle on my stomach and naturally flavoured with orange oil.
An expensive way to get this supplement
There are some real positive things about this product - safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, safe for children, not tested on animals, easier if you can't take tablets. But if you can manage tablets, I recommend you do that instead. The texture of this stuff is so weird- thick like custard. I struggled to pour it into a teaspoon without it flopping off the other side - one desert spoon was easier. Also if you follow the recommend adult dosage this is only ten days supply - 38p per day. With the original tablets (not available at Ocado) it is less than half that. But if cost isn't a concern then this might be worth a try. Taste is quite a synthetic orange but not unpleasant.
so sweet
A very sweet, viscous liquid. Im sure its calcium/vit D content is excellent, but personally its so sweet its a bit unpleasant.
Recommended by Paediatric Dietician
Recommended by paediatric dietician at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. My extremely fussy toddler is happy to take this. Thank you for stocking this Ocado.
Great source of calcium
I really like this, it is quite sweet but aside from that, I started taking this following both of my pregnancies as I could feel that my calcium was low (my teeth felt almost porous) and I have felt much better since and noticed renewed strength to my teeth and bones.
Excellent!
I'm so happy that Ocado is now stocking this! I take this daily and prefer it to the tablet version, as being liquid it is easy to take and gentle on the stomach. It has a pleasant taste, and also has added vitamin D, which we are now being recommended to consider taking.
