FAQ's

Q: What makes Gimme Calcium™ so great?
A: First and foremost, Gimme Calcium is designed to taste absolutely delicious. In other words, we want to hear but one response from someone trying Gimme Calcium for the very first time: Yum. But who says delicious can’t be nutritious? Gimme Calcium is. We use only all-natural ingredients. No artificial anything. That’s right, nada. Then we fortifiy our Gimmes with the best quality calcium available … TruCal (it comes directly from real milk … you know, the source of all protein). Why get it anywhere else?

Q: Why did you choose Calcium as your first product?
A: Frankly, we all need a little more calcium in our diets. Yeah, you. Alright, so do we. Hence the name. Listen to this: According to the USDA, 9 out of 10 teenage girls and adult women – and 7 out of 10 teenage boys and adult men – fail to meet their Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of calcium. That’s sad. I mean, just think of all those poor cows just standing around all day in fields, all for absolutely nothing! Now, get a load of these numbers: Sixty years ago, Americans consumed three times as much milk as they did soft drinks. But in 1998, those numbers practically reversed. Research shows that soda actually leaches vital minerals from our bones. What’s more, it may be one of the key contributing factors to the increased prevalence of overweight children in today’s society. (Someone, quick … scream “Gimme Calcium!” at the top of your lungs!)

Q: What’s so great about TruCal?
A: Good question. Not all calcium sources are created equal. TruCal possesses two distinguishing features. First, it comes directly from cow’s milk – the natural source of calcium in our diets. Second, it contains a matrix of minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron) found in our bones. All of which are required for optimal bone health. See, calcium by its lonesome just isn’t enough. But Gimme Calcium, fortified with TruCal, offers an optimized blend … all wrapped up in a tasty bite-size treat.

Q: How much calcium am I getting?
A: If you mean currently, the honest answer would be, Not enough. But. If you mean in Gimme Calcium, in just one serving, you’re getting half your Recommended Daily Allowance. Adults are encouraged to consume about 1,000 mg of calcium a day. One packet of Gimme Calcium delivers 500 mg. It’s like drinking two giant glasses of milk. Or like wolfing three slices of cheese. Only better. Cuz Gimme Calcium is candy. And trust us, after one serving, you’ll want more and more.

Q: Can you get too much calcium?
A: Yeah, like most things, too much of a good thing can be bad. Consuming more than 2,500 mg a day for an extended period can cause kidney problems. It can also interfere with the absorption of such minerals as iron, zinc, and magnesium. Another thing you should be aware of is calcium supplements in the form of calcium carbonate can neutralize stomach acids, which can impair the absorption of vitamin B-12. Luckily for you, TruCal (the source of Calcium in every bite-size Gimme) is designed not to neutralize stomach acids. Bonus!
