Do you drink it a long time away from eating? Would it interfere with stomach acid if it's a bit alkaline? Also, another Q., is the calcium absorbable?

Drink it 1 hour after eating, or so, and don't eat anything after you drink it for another hour. Drink plenty of water for it to absorb into your stomach and go through your body. I don't know about the other two, but after doing this for almost everyday it has helped my digestive system a lot, this is the first time my stomach feels so healthy. Another thing, don't put in too much clay in your water. Only put in about a teaspoon of it and mix it with a cup of water. Drink only this cup once a day, and you will see the effects after a few days. Good luck!

yes, i drink it in the morning before breakfast. I find that it keeps me full for several hours after ingestion. In my experience i found that having clay before meals reduced the chances of me having heartburn. Calcium in combination with right dose of vitamin D, is absorbed much more effectively. Hope this helps

I am not sure you just have to make sure the calcium you are taking is the citrate form if you have had gastric surgery. I also ensure they are sugar free. I have not been able to find another brand in this form.

I cook all my dogs' food as well and add the Calcium AFTER it is cooked. But I cook the food in batches, so that I'm only cooking twice a week. I have Labrador Retrievers. For each meal, I scoop the cooked sweet potatoes, ground turkey or beef, and kale or broccoli into a blender, put a tablespoon of the Calcium on top, add water, blend it, and pour it into a "Slow Eat" bowl. They seem to digest it better, and it forces them to eat slower. Their coats are shiny, poops are always solid (TMI?), teeth are white, and all around super healthy. I just saw your comment that you called the company and found out it's okay to add it before cooking. This is great to know! Thank you!

Dear Mike, Unfortunately we have not personally sampled this particular product ourselves, and we are unable to provide our own opinion. However upon review of the product description and supplement facts, we see that it is comprised of herbs and a few minerals that can be quite bitter tasting. It is said that it can be taken strait, but it is recommended to mix into a child's beverage. We hope this information was helpful to you. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you, and we appreciate your patience in this matter. If we can be of further assistance, or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at your earliest opportunity. Thank you, and have a fantastic day! Sincerely, Kellie B.

It's not acidic for me. I however find this company products to be very friendly to my stomach. Try a small amount for surety. Sorry I can't be of more help. Wish you well. And remember to drink a lot of water when taking any supplements otherwise it might affect your stomach.

It has been awhile since i have used it, so this may not be accurate, but hot water may actually adversely affect the nutrients, so it may be best to dissolve it in only warm or cool water. It doesn't FEEL as satisfying that way, but it may be more beneficial though. The company could be consulted aboout that. https://cho-wa.com/

It is a very fine powder. It is a combination of Fiber, calcium, vitamin D and licorice extract. It's amazing! I started taking it not only because of acid reflux but also because I have interstitial cystitis. It works like a miracle! Caffeine and/or acid foods would set either of them off and I would suffer. So, now I can enjoy either as you can add Javacid to almost anything. It has absolutely no taste and dissolves completely in your food. Makes it safe to eat those Italian dishes again and drink that morning coffee! I've been using it for over 3 years now and wouldn't be without it.

I tried filling a glass with white vinegar and letting this item soak in it for a few days. That dissolved the external calcium deposits, and I suppose it helped rid the inside of such deposits, too. Doing that had no adverse effect on the finish.

sure and don't worry alkaline water will not have to be ingested slowly. It's like the first time you ate spinach, did you have a bad reaction?Good things are good. I use it for everything including my dog and cat and if I feel generous my chickens

It's tasteless. A word of warning, only take it with magnesium and/or a swig of cranberry juice. It's extremely alkalizing whichcan give you kidney stones or Gout. It's hard on the kidneys because it's so alkaline. It's also very constipating so the Magnesium will help balance that out. Only take 1-2 drops a day.

In my experience with drinking this over the past week it hasn't had any effect on my digestive system as mentioned. It's delicious and good for you but I haven't noticed an increase in amount or frequency of bathroom visits. You would probably want to look into a different product if that's specifically what you're looking for.

It is essentially ascorbic acid bonded to calcium thus buffering it making it more stomach friendly and staying longer in the body..

I ran about a cup or so of white vinegar through mine after washing the water chamber throughly with soap and water. I had no unusual taste. You can use white vinegar, not cider vinegar (!) in it periodically to remove mineral or calcium buildup, just be sure and run several brew cycles and rinse the water tank before you brew a drink or it could taste like vinegar.

K.D. Kirkpatrick: I have probably read some of the same articles you have regarding garcinia cambogia without calcium. It may work or it may not. I had ordered my garcinia cambogia with calcium before I read those articles. However, so far I have had positive results with the garcinia cambogia with calcium I am taking. Great carb controller. Have little to no desire for carbs.

Hello - I use this once a day in the morning on an empty stomache partnered with two Neocell SuperCollagen + C Type 1 and Type 3 pills, as part of my anti-aging skin care. It doesn't upset my stomache and I really love it. I have been using it for close to 4 months now. I am going to be 50 years old in October of this year and certainly don't look or feel it (not to brag). Look me up on facebook - Rubi DePompa - so you can see the results. You can also contact the company. That's what I did, and I certainly do not work for them or receive any compensation. :-)

No. The serving size is four wafers, and most doctors now recommend taking your calcium at different times of the day and with meals to help with dissolution (disolving/absorption). I chew two in the morning with breakfast, then have two later in the day with dinner. My doctor told me that your body just can't absorb the whole RDA at one time, so it's better to divide it up.
