Common questions

Is Caltrate Calcium Lactate healthy?

Caltrate Calcium Lactate scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Caltrate Calcium Lactate?

Caltrate Calcium Lactate lists 4 ingredients, starting with Magnesium Citrate, Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate and Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in Caltrate Calcium Lactate’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
