"Sorry, girls, once in a while I feel obligated to fulfill my 'health editor' duties by trying to help you guys get healthy! We all know that getting lots of calcium is important in your teen years (to prevent osteoporosis as an adult). But these yummy calcium chocolates make it easy to get your recommended daily amount. They landed on my desk a few weeks ago and, unlike most calcium supplements, they're delicious! They actually taste like real chocolate... It's hard to stop myself from having just two of them a day!" Buy them at a Whole Foods store near you.

"Manufacturers have been trying for years to make calcium supplements palatable, but the chalky texture has been a sticking point. Adora banishes the chalkiness in a disc of smooth chocolate with deep flavor that we'd be happy to eat every day.
" - Aleta Watson, San Jose Mercury News
"McNeil’s Viactiv built the calcium delivery-via-chocolate category. But their chews are more Tootsie Roll than real chocolate. Thompson Brands has introduced adora calcium supplements made with real chocolate. Each coin-sized milk and dark chocolate delivers the same nutrition as a Viactiv: 500 mg or 50% DV in a single candy. The mouthfeel is much more satisfying than a chew: it tastes, melts, and satisfies much more like the real stuff.

"Move over Caltrate D, Viactiv, and Oscal. Make room for a new calcium supplement on the shelf to battle the growing problem of osteoporosis...It's (Adora Calcium) a tasty alternative for more than 50 percent of Americans not getting the recommended amount of calcium in their diet.

" - Nicole Weston, SlashFood.com

"Adora chocolate calcium supplements make taking calcium a treat because they are made with real milk chocolate or with real dark chocolate. These chocolate calcium supplements also contain vitamin D. Mmmmm....chocolate that is so good for you.

"Personally, I love what the makers of Adora Calcium have done, combining the rich texture and taste of chocolate with the healthful benefits of calcium and vitamin D needed for bone health. Chocolate lovers beware, once you’ve experienced the delicious taste of Adora calcium you’ll never forget to take your calcium again!
" - LOHAS.com (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability)
"Enjoy the luxurious taste of Adora today! Serve the chocolate to your whole family. We guarantee that they will think that they are eating dessert, not a vitamin!

Consumer Comments
We are thrilled to learn how much our consumers adore Adora. Below you will find comments sent in by customers.
"I absolutely love your product and have told a dozen women about it. My kids love it as well. My doctor from John Hopkins was so excited to hear about this product that she told 4 of her patients yesterday about the product and was heading to the local store to buy your product. I feel strongly that you need to increase your marketing so more and more women are aware of this great alternative to Tums and Viactiv!
" – Amy, Butler, MD
"Wow - Adora has saved my life!! I have tried a zillion other calcium supplements and they all make me incredibly ill. Today I tried Adora and I am hooked!! I'm 55 and taking calcium is critical for my health and now I'm excited about having to take calcium!!! Thank you so much!!" - Lori, Mercer Island, WA
"I had gained a few pounds over the last year and my doctor asked if I knew why. Well, I am a chocoholic. She suggested Adora and I had no trouble finding it in different markets. This way I get my calcium and my chocolate too. This keeps me on track since I know I can't over indulge. People don't believe that they are just as good as the other chocolates in the candy isle, but they are. When I took calcium pills, they gave me so much gas that I had to stop. I do not have this reaction with ADORA. I like spreading the word." - Arlene, Philadelphia, PA
"Thank you so much for your product. I take calcium because I know it's important for my bone health, but had failed to find a supplement that I did not dread taking every day. Your supplements are a dream come true. Thank you so much" - Della, Simpson, Louisiana
"To show my mom how much I care about her, I gave my mom your calcium
chocolate for Valentine's Day. More than regular chocolate, your product said that I care about her health. The message was way
beyond regular chocolate -- she was very pleased. She had not known
about your product before, and I believe she's become a regular
consumer." - Becka, Vermont
"I’ve been raving about your product ever since I tried the Adora dark gourmet calcium supplement. There must be a dozen women who are now using the product, my sister included. Even my husband’s finally taking calcium!
" – Gail, Plantation, FL
"I just received my Adora dark gourmet calcium supplement and I am now ordering a case! I’m giving them to my daughters, husband and everyone that loves chocolate. It’s a wonderful taste, now I just need to limit myself to 2 or 3 pieces of Adora each day!
" – Barbara, New York, NY
"I’m a full time Nurse Practitioner, working in an Osteoporosis center and I am probably your greatest fan! My patients and children love Adora, too. I couldn’t be happier that it is now available at local stores. Adora is a great fix for a sweet treat after meals or even for a snack while you’re on the go!
" – Lisanne, Farmington, CT
"Adora Dark Chocolate calcium supplements allow people with milk allergies to really enjoy getting more calcium in their diets. It has been so frustrating for me to read the ingredients in Viactiv and other calcium chews and find that they are full of milk ingredients, which I can't have. Adora tastes wonderful. Thank you so much, from someone who loves dark chocolate.
" – Kathryn, Toledo, OH
"I just wanted to take the time to write to you and thank you for your product. I'm a 25 year old girl who already has osteoporosis and I HATE taking vitamins! Thanks to your product, taking my 1500 mg of Calcium per day is something I look forward to rather than regret. THANK YOU!" - Amanda, Portland, ME
"My favorite product across the board! I give bags of Adora to all my
friends for birthdays, etc. I love having dessert -- letting it melt
and enjoying real dark chocolate -- and knowing I am getting calcium
at the same time. A true winner." - Sally, Chapel Hill, NC
"I do much better on chewable calcium supplements than tablets. Chocolate Viactiv was my choice until they started adding hydrogenated oils. I found Adora Dark by accident and couldn't be happier! I had to check your website to make sure it was the real deal and not a scam. They taste exactly like dark chocolate, which is my favorite! It's very hard to limit myself to only 2 a day!!!" - Sally, Royal Palm Beach, FL
"I had weight loss surgery a few weeks ago. As a requirement, I had to eat 3 TUMS a day for calcium intake. TUMS is chalky and has no flavor. My teeth literally hurt because I had chosen not to take the TUMS. When I was able to switch to the calcium brand of my choice, I saw the bag of Adora Calcium at my local PUBLIX. It tastes like candy to me and everyone else I have shared it with. My teeth have stopped hurting and I am getting my calcium everyday. Please don't ever stop making this product." – Shanitra, Atlanta, GA
"I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I tried dark Adora. It was given to me in a gift bag from a sample sale and what perfect timing as I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and would have not been able to stand any of the so called chocolate calcium products that are no way comparable to Adora. You are a God send Adora.
" – Sue, "circle of health" reader
"Thanks for making a low calorie, dark chocolate treat I can feel good about eating! It satisfies my sweet tooth post-meal and it makes me feel better knowing I am doing something good for myself in the process. With 2-3 a day, my body is happy to get what it’s craving and my brain is happy knowing I am providing it with the calcium I rarely get.
" – Courtney, "circle of health" reader
