Overview

This is a powder-form calcium supplement, a less common format in this category where tablets, softgels, and chews dominate. NOW packages it unflavored in a 12 ounce container, which suits shoppers who want to mix calcium into smoothies, food, or drinks rather than swallow a pill.

The supplement type is calcium carbonate, and the label carries kosher and vegan designations along with a non-GMO note, which broadens who it works for compared to animal-derived or non-verified alternatives.

The maker markets the powder for bone strength support. At 4.7 stars from 2,600 reviews and about 2,000 recent buyers, it holds a consistent track record within its smaller review base.
