Product Description
Evidence suggests that calcium from whole food sources may produce more favorable effects in bone health than isolated calcium supplements.* Similar to most nutrients, the body can utilize calcium much more effectively when it is paired with its natural co-factors such as magnesium and other trace minerals.
New Chapter® is proud to deliver a calcium complex derived from whole food that delivers these key essential nutrients in their safest, most active form within the infinite complexity of whole food.
The most common form of calcium supplement today is derived from limestone. You dont eat rocks as part of your balanced diet, why would you choose to supplement your bone health nutritional needs with limestone?
Our bodies understand and seek whole food sources of nutrition, not rocks, which is why New Chapter formulated this product with a whole food plant source of this important nutrient complex. As whole food, its easy on the digestive system.
The calcium complex in Bone Strength Take CareTM is derived from a special form of plant called Algas Calcareas that is harvested from the pristine shores of a protected national reserve park in South America. Much like the vegetables from an organic garden, the algae is harvested live and then cold processed to retain its nutritional value.
Calcium must be completely dissolved in order to be absorbed. The plant-based calcium found in Bone Strength Take Care is porous, which dramatically increases the calciums surface area. Stomach acid can then come into greater contact with the calcium, making it easy to dissolve. |

Easy to swallow, not so easy on GI tract by Vyshtia (CA, USA)  3 Stars
October 29, 2009
I really wanted to like this product but unfortunately, my GI system can tolerate very little of it. It is easy on my stomach, but it does cause slight constipation for me. I tried just taking 1 pill a day (they recommend 3 pills a day) and the side effect was a little less, but still there. It is not unbearable, but unpleasant enough for me to not want to take anymore. The pills themselves are easy to swallow.

A difficult review by Cheryl A. Reynolds (Minneapolis, MN, USA) 3 Stars
October 25, 2009
I can tell you that the item is well-packaged, the tablets are smooth and are easily swallowed and they have not appeared to give me any side effects or gastrointestinal problems. But how can you tell that a product such as this is effective--or more effective than the (much cheaper) calcium supplements I normally take--without a battery of medical and lab tests and long-term usage? I'm not sure that you can.

"Sweet to the soul and health to the bones" by Linda Bulger (Avon, Maine)  5 Stars
October 24, 2009
We all know that calcium supplements are one of the keys to bone strength in later life, but it's not easy to find a supplementary source of calcium that's palatable and easy to digest. Another problem is that only some of the calcium is absorbed, and we can improve the absorption rate by taking magnesium, vitamin K and vitamin D along with the calcium.
New Chapter is known for high-quality vitamins and supplements, and their New Chapter - Bone Strength Take Care, 60 tablets product follows that mission. This product's calcium source is algae "from the pristine shores of a protected national reserve park in South America." Absorption is aided by the vitamins and minerals in the formulation. The other calcium supplement on my shelf comes from limestone and as New Chapter suggests on its website, why should I eat rocks?
The pills are easy to swallow and did not upset my stomach. The recommended dosage is three pills a day with meals, split into two doses. This is a somewhat arduous regimen but then, calcium's just never that easy to take, and this is at least as painless as most. The price is a little high for the daily dose: my bottle of 60 is a 20-day supply, breaking down to just over a dollar a day. My plan is to stick with this product for six months and then see how I feel about it. At the moment I'm finding it very satisfactory.
For those who need to know, I notice that BONE STRENGH TAKE CARE is gluten-free, as well as vegetarian.

fishy taste but good calcium source for vegetarians by M. Kooiman (Richardson, TX USA) 3 Stars
October 22, 2009
I found it hard to take the recommended dosages of this product but appreciate that the calcium source was taken from vegetable matter instead of shells, rocks and bones. As for the effectiveness of the product, I can't say. The label says the nutrients are easily absorbed by the body. The dosage seems extreme - 3 tablets twice a day with meals. The tablets have a VERY fishy taste (algae) and were difficult to get down after the initial taste. Still - if you eat vegan, I would recommend this product as a way to get the bone strengthening nutrients you might be missing.

Bone health is no area to skimp on!! by Dominique Withrow (MI) 5 Stars
October 22, 2009
I am a former user or Caltrate. I've recently switched to an online store brand called Now-Cal because of a BOGO offer. Compared to the brands I've previously taken, New Chapter - Bone Strength Take Care is superior and worth the price.
The pills are shaped and sized similar to Motrin but by no means are they small. What I do like is that they are not chalky. While calcium supplements don't usually upset my stomach, the chalky varieties get stuck in my through and have made me sick from gagging. New Chapter-Bone Strength does not do this.
I realize this product is pricy but believe it gives the consumer more bang for the buck because it does have other supplements listed on the nutritional label and it is made out of whole food sources.
I would recommend this and I will be purchasing this again in the future. Bone health is no area to skimp on!!
