Charlie and the Calcium Factory - Tuscaloosa News "..In a completely unscientific office taste test, the Adora chocolates, which come in milk and dark chocolate flavors, were found to be surprisingly good, even by a self-professed “chocolate snob." And although developed for women, men like them, too."

Candy Does a Body Good - Rocky Mountain News "..How about five cups of cooked turnip greens? Or maybe 10 cheeseburgers. Three cans of sardines? Lucky you. Just have two pieces of Adora's gourmet chocolate, a candy that doubles as a calcium supplement designed for women."

- "Need an excuse to chow down on chocolate? Here's one! These delicious chocolate discs are CRAMMED FULL of calcium. Each piece has just 30 calories and HALF of your recommended calcium for an entire day. They come in both creamy milk chocolate and rich dark chocolate. Weeeeee!"

Best Bets Daily - Chew on This - New York Magazine - nymag.com "But I recently found these Adora calcium supplements, and I swear they taste too good to be good for you. They're made of milk or dark chocolate (I prefer the dark), and one disc has 50 percent of the calcium you need for the day, as well as only 30 calories. So after 60 calories, you've got all the daily calcium you need and two chocolate fixes, which might not be enough!"
The Weekend Guide - DailyCandy.com
Great Food Finds - TheNibble.com - "For people who have difficulty taking calcium the regular way—dairy foods or pills—there’s Adora, dark and milk chocolate disks with 500mg of calcium “hidden” inside. They’re tasty too. At 30 calories and 2 grams of fat apiece, those who now drink their milk or swallow a tablet might make excuses to convert to two or three pieces of Adora a day."
For the Love of Chocolate - Lime.com -"While the Adora chocolate calcium supplements are truly delicious (the act of not eating the entire bag in one sitting was a rigorous test of self-restraint), the term "gourmet" might be considered a slight exaggeration by true chocolate aficionados. The texture of the chocolate more closely resembles that of a Hershey's bar rather than a Godiva truffle, but the Adora dandies are, nonetheless, a simple indulgence that can be enjoyed guilt-free (if taken as directed)."

Crave Your Calcium - Girlawhirl.com - "Girlawhirl’s been getting a daily calcium boost from adora calcium chocolates for months, snacking on a couple in the afternoon and happily sharing them with co-workers who all seem to agree that these chocolate discs are not like any other supplement they’ve ever eaten"

Chocolate Vitamins – Specialty Food Magazine - "...although marketed as a dietary supplement, it’s effectively a gourmet chocolate with 500 milligrams of calcium, available in all-natural milk or dark versions—proving that functional and gourmet are a good pair. Vitamins D2 and K1 have been added to help with calcium absorption. In other chocolate news, a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that consumption of dark chocolate could improve glucose metabolism and decrease blood pressure. But chocolate is fattening, so it’s not a panacea for good eating habits and exercise."

Chocolate Calcium Supplements – by Jocelyn Maminta
(WTNH, Jan 12, 2006) - It may seem hard to believe, but two calcium supplements a day can keep your bones healthy. But the reason these are different than others is that they're made of premium chocolate. Move over Caltrate D, Viactiv, and Oscal. Make room for Adora, a new calcium supplement on the shelf to battle the growing problem of osteoporosis.
