Pros1) Taking 3 pills a day might be a bit of a chore, but it's rare to find a calcium supplement with 250mg of magnesium, so I recommend it.
2) I sometimes take all 3 pills at once, but since they're not coated, there's a high chance of stomach upset. If you have a sensitive stomach or are trying it for the first time, make sure to split the dose into 3 times a day.
3) With 500mg calcium, 250mg magnesium, 200IU vitamin D, and 7mg zinc, this has one of the highest magnesium contents among calcium supplements at Olive Young.
If you don't want to take magnesium and zinc separately, this is a good choice. Above all, it's incredibly cost-effective - a two-month supply costs less than 20,000 won.
4) As someone diagnosed with osteoporosis, I need to take additional calcium supplements (if I don't, my tailbone aches!). This supplement is truly bang for your buck. I'm in no position to complain about the number of pills!
5) Yes, it's a lot of pills, but considering the nutritional content, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturer, I've decided it's best for my body to adapt to this supplement. I've been taking it for a long time, and now I'm used to it.
6) Besides this, I'd recommend Alive or GNM products for calcium.
Alive is slightly more expensive (about 30,000 won for a 45-day supply), but it contains 700mg calcium, 350mg magnesium, and 400IU vitamin D. The convenience of taking only 2 pills a day is a plus.
GNM has slightly lower content but is very cost-effective.
I alternate between these three. I need to take them all to keep my tailbone pain-free!
7) Try all three and choose the one that suits you best - the one that doesn't cause stomach issues and feels comfortable for you.
ConsThe downsides are the large number and size of pills, and the fact that they're not coated, which could lead to stomach discomfort.
TipDon't buy this from overseas. Just get it from Olive Young. I once received an expired product from an international purchase, so I absolutely avoid buying from abroad now.
