Nutricost Calcium Citrate Powder 250 Grams (Unflavored)- Gluten Free & Non-GMO Supplement

My doctor has me cutting calories and cutting down on dairy in my diet, which means I'm no longer getting enough calcium. And at my age (50 ), that's something to worry about if I want to avoid osteoporosis. In tracking my daily nutrient intake, I realized I was only getting about 40-50% of the calcium I need, so I went looking for an unflavored powder I could mix into my morning smoothies. I was thrilled when I saw that Nutricost makes just such a powder, as I already use their whey protein powder and find their products to be exceptionally quality for the price. If you use the included scoop, you'll get 650mg of calcium in one go, which is more than the body can absorb at once, so the first thing I did was ditch the scoop. Instead, I use 3/8 tsp, which is roughly 250mg. Coupled with a little yogurt and milk, as well as orange juice with added calcium, I'm now getting about 90% or more of the calcium I need daily. Such an easy solution, and I'm not adding any more calories, so my doctor is happy!
