Default Viactiv: calcium supplement. What the...?

Viactiv: calcium supplement. What the...?

I bought a box of Viactiv chewable caramel calcium supplement at the
pharmacist's suggestion.

Two a day provide 100% of calcium BUT each chew contains 125% of Vitamin D
or 250% daily. A generous vitamin D overdose!

Why would they do that??? The BUMS!!!

Reading up on vitamin D, I see too much can have a negative health effect,
more so for folks on high blood pressure blood thinner meds, which doesn't
apply to mine.

My leg is about 90% mended, so the supplement will just be for a few weeks
longer, I'm hoping. I do get the perceived feeling it's helping.

Me and calcium supplements! If it's not one thing it's another. [sigh]

Best,

Andy
