Calchews Mounts Campaign On Calcium Awareness Via Fun-Filled Zumba Concert
In todayβs fast-paced and demanding world, one needs to be in the pink of health in order to accomplish goals and do more in life. Women, in particular, are more prone to degenerative ailments as they age due primarily to their genetic make up.

Among these three key factors, getting into a regular physical routine can be quite elusive.

It goes hand in hand with the brandβs thrust to get everyone, especially women, to get involved in a physical routine to strengthen the bones together with regular intake of calcium supplement.”

I hate drinking milk so I am sure that I could benefit from this product! Thanks for sharing!
We’re opposites. π I love the taste of milk and thinking that drinking it will give me even more health benefits (in particular, stronger bones). There are more negation studies on that but I don’t mind. Sure, you can try this product and see the results.
Fun alternative to huge pills or trying to get enough from normal diet. thanks for sharing.
Exactly. I took calcium chewables for kids when I was younger — those shaped like Hello Kitty’s face and Flinstones characters as well. I am excited to try Calchews this time. π
That don’t drink a lot of milk so this would be perfect for me. I have to check them out.
Calcium supplements that you can chew and even taste the flavor are super interesting. Glad that you find it perfect for your case. π
i love natural things and this sounds like a perfect supplement for just about anyone. your bones are very important and often forgot about (nutritiously)
I don’t think anything can be natural with supplements these days. What matters is that taking them is safe (with no side effects). Taking Calchews will prevent bone loss and that will be good for us.
Calcium is so important! I love chewable supplements, it makes it so much more convenient to take.
We don’t have to worry about supplements getting stuck in our throat. I just hate the feeling when that happens.
Calchews is our favorite calcium supplement. My father swears by it and it really is the delicious way of taking calcium.
Oh wow. Good to hear that, Kath! π
Good Luck on your Zumba Workout. You should meet Ms. Val of Pascual labs. She’s handling several brands too aside from Calchews.
Thanks! I am encouraged to do more Zumba exercises from now on. π
I should probably try these. I’m having a lot of trouble with arthritis,and someone told me calcium would help. I’m not sure why, but at this point, I’ll try almost anything at least once.
Yes, calcium has a lot of benefits. Juvenile arthritis is related to bone loss in children as well as adults. If you are not spending time doing enough physical activities, think it over and consider incorporating regular exercise to your lifestyle. Adapt to a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to build adequate bone mass and reduce the risk of future fracture.
I’m the worst when it comes to taking supplements but I really am aware of the food I eat – so I would like to think I make up for it.
If you don’t like taking calcium supplements, it’s better to be more conscious of food you eat. Getting calcium-rich food by natural food intake is still a lot better.
My gym offers a Zumba class, I’m thinking of taking it.
You get subscribe to it. π I’m sure it will be fun and fulfilling.
We drink a lot of milk. We are a family of 4 and we go through a gallon a day! But that being said we do not allow soda!
Same here. I don’t drink soda in normal occasions because I don’t like the feeling of getting bloated with acid. Also, I’m aware of the harmful effects soft drinks have on our system.
I really should start thinking about taking these pretty soon now that I’m getting older.
Good realization. It’s best if you can also advise your kids to take enough calcium as needed by their bodies early on.
I didn’t know you had to be a certain age to take calcium. Good information to know. π
I think what’s recommended is only in the matter of dosage.
We add a lot of leafy greens into our meals as a great way to sneak added calcium (yep, they’re full of calcium!) and plenty of other health benefits into our diet.
I applaud you for doing that as it is best to try to meet calcium needs with food sources.
Calcium I so important for us, especially for kids. Growing up, I drank milk, milk, milk and more milk!
It’s great that you’re all not lactose-intolerant. For those whose bodies can’t accept much dairy, vegetables, soy fruit juices and some cereals are also good alternatives to calcium sources.
Calcium is something I neglect to take and I know I should be taking more of.
Nice post!
Take calcium supplements as necessary but I won’t deny the fact that the safest and probably the most effective source of calcium for strong bones and overall health is diet.
First sentence: should it be “world” instead of “word”?
Anyways, I notice that the market of this product is for women. I believe men are prone to bone diseases too. I guess the frmula here is Zumba+Calchew=Healthy bones
Thanks, Shirgie! I have corrected that one.
You got the formula right! π I guess the reason why there’s more focus put on women is that there are more women affected and found to be having osteoporosis than men. Based on researches, the ratio is 4:1.
Great alternative to pills. I think I would be more likely to use them in the chew form.
Yeah, it’s just like candy!
Very informative post about calcium chews. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea it was so great!
If you are consuming a small amount of calcium-rich food every day, think about your future health state. Taking CalChews may provide you help in reducing the risks of diseases related to bone loss, heart attack or stroke.
I really do need to start taking better care of my body and the future. I have trouble just living for the now and need to plan ahead and take better care of my bones.
Well said. At least you know your current state and are willing to advance to get yourself healthier. π Pursue exercises good for the bones and take calcium daily.
Great post. I would love to try Zumba and take these calchews for stronger bones. Never to late to try. Thanks for sharing.
Right on. You’re welcome, Rebecca. I’m always happy to read your comment.
I am over 40 so I should take a look at this product. Thanks for sharing,
You should also recommend it to friends and loved ones.
That’s actually perfect. Most of the time, people don’t get to eat healthy stuff – thus supplements like these helps a lot.
Calcium consumption can help maintain bone density by preventing the body from stealing the calcium it needs from the bones.
I definitely don’t get enough calcium in my day. These sound great!
Oh by now you should start getting more calcium and essential vitamins and minerals to your system before it’s too late.
I haven’t seen that brand yet, but I really do like calcium chews. I’m liking the two flavor options here as well.
I’m liking them, too. π
love this! would love to try too! this reminds me that my 800calorie diet will start tomorrow.. I need to dance zumba style
High five, Jane. π I’m all in for Zumba classes as well!
I never knew that Calchew’s had a lot of benefits. I keep it in my bag as a candy in case I feel like I need a bit of candy but I never knew it had health benefits as well
Hehe when the calcium supplements taste good, funny how some people forget about the healthy effects they bring. π Pop one to two a day and you’ll be good. π
It is so important for women to get a proper amount of calcium and sometimes it is hard to get it in your diet. Calchews are a great way to supplement.
If you’re generally healthy and eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, low-fat dairy products, lean meats and fish, you likely don’t need supplements. Else, you’re gonna need CalChews to save the day! π
These calchews sound great. I really need to take calcium and this seems like a great way to get it done. Thanks for the review.
And you’re welcome, Sandy. Get active, go out and stay healthy. π
I love these kind of health supplements that are actually good for your body and are tasty too
Yup. I thought chewable calcium supplements were made only for kids. Now I’m just glad that there are ones also for adults like CalChews. π
