Consumer Comments
"Oh my gosh yes, I LOVE Adora! In fact, each day with my morning coffee, I take my two discs of Adora. YUM! It's like having chocolate for breakfast. Thanks for making a calcium supplement that I can finally enjoy! And THANK YOU for supporting the health of my bones and body! In fact, I am chewing on an Adora disc right now - YUMMY! How can one not start the day with a smile when there's chocolate involved that's so good for ya too :-)" Christine C., Facebook fan
"When I cut dairy from my diet & went to calcium supplements, I went to calcium carbonate & my normal severe PMS cramps lessened with each month until they were gone. When I went on calcium citrate, they returned with each month. When I went back to carbonate, they lessend again. That's why I love Adora (since calcium powder does NOT mx in juice :oP & adora is gluten free & tastes so good), though I miss the vitamin K because I think they help with absorption for those who have weaker digestion.?"

"My son picked these out at CVS today after the doctor suggested Calcium supplements for his broken arm. Good grief these are GOOD!!! I definitely have to hide these before we all end up with Calcium kidney stones! ;-J"
Mary M., Facebook fan
"Just picked these up at CVS. A friend had bought some at Whole Foods a while back and recommended it. Delish! I'm sitting here having a couple of pieces with my afternoon tea!"

"These things are ABSOLUTELY delicious! I cant even believe that there is any calcium in them let alone 500mg! they taste just like a chocolate candy. I sampled them at a health food store and the true test was when my 10yo extemely anti-vitamin daughter thought they were just candy I knew I finally found the most delic...ious vitamin ever! She is the one who needs calcium as she is allergic to dairy and does intense gymnastics and I struggle/battle to get enough in her. I ordered several bags online and absolutely thrilled to have found them! I only wish they made one for iron LOL!"
Christy L., Facebook fan
"My rheumatologist suggested this and i have been taking it for three years. They are delicious and I get my chocolate fix every day . I use the DARK!! Yummy! I could eat the whole bag it is so good!! It has the D and K which i need to. I take some additonal D3 at night. I have severe Osteoporosis from 30 years of stero...id use for my CHROHNS disease.! I am allergic to Boniva, Actonel and I have used Forteo injections and got ill from that drug as well. This is my only hope!!! Of course i excercise every day!"
Hilary S., Facebook fan
"My dietician suggested Adora for me. Is there really calcium in them, lol. They are soooo good. Thanks Adora!"
Myra D., Facebook fan
"This is the only calcium and vitamin D suppliment i've found that doesn't make me sick...and it tastes fantastic too! who thought you HAD to eat 2 chocolates a day-not me haha!"
Sara D., Facebook fan
"Bought these a few days ago, officially hooked. My grandma and mom (who's only in her 40s) both have osteoporosis so supplements as part of an overall healthy lifestyle have become important to me. I can't stand the calcium tablets - I don't swallow horse pills easily. Not a fan of the taste of Viactiv. I swear if I didn't know these were supplements I would eat 10 a day, haha."
Mary K, Facebook fan
"Talked to my daughters pediatrician today and she turned us on to Adora. Bought the last bag at CVS... love them! Better than Viactiv!"
Bella N., Facebook fan
"They should put EVERY supplement into delicious chocolate like Adora - makes me look forward to taking my calcium!"
Jane L., Facebook fan
"Hands down, the best calcium supplement I've tried. Love the dark chocolate!"
JoAnn D., Facebook fan
"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
Trade and Media Reviews
"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.

San Francisco Fancy Food Show—Adora receives praise as one of best and most innovative products

"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.

Adora rates 8 out of 10 on Confection Tasting Scale (8=tasty)
(not bad for a supplement, eh?!)
If taste is something that will help you keep up with taking a supplement, this might be the way to go

"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.
" - WTNH Channel 8 News - ABC/UPN (wtnh.com)
"Overall, fantastic in terms of taste and nutritional benefits
" - Nicole Weston, SlashFood.com

" - Cybele May, 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.

" - Shereen Jegtvig, About.com Nutrition Guide
"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!
" - USAeatfit.com
"It’s much easier to remember to take a vitamin when it’s also a piece of chocolate...proving that functional and gourmet are a good pair.
