Calcifood® Wafers by Standard Process - Whole Body Health

By Dr. Candy Akers

I find that Standard Process Calcifood® is a valuable supplement for individuals with calcium deficiencies from a holistic perspective. Its unique blend of whole-food ingredients offers a natural source of calcium, which can be beneficial for maintaining healthy bones and teeth.

In addition to providing calcium, Standard Process Calcifood® also contains other essential nutrients such as phosphorus, vitamin A, and B vitamins, which can support optimal bone and immune system health. Its whole-food ingredients are also believed to be more easily absorbed and utilized by the body than synthetic supplements

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

What our patients say:

When diagnosed as having osteoporsis, I was told to take calcium supplements. However, standard calcium tablets are composed of rocks or shells, both being foreign and detrimental to the body. This bone meal supplement is recommended by our chiropractor as being a natural supplement that actually builds up a person's bones. The wafers are easy to chew and swallow, and the taste is okay after one gets accustomed to it. :)

As this is a canine calcium supplement, it is difficult to rate flavor or effectiveness. My pup eats it like a treat, so it must taste pretty good. In terms of value, it is cheaper than the vet charges. Growing dogs need calcium. What’s not to like?

This is by far the best bone support anywhere. Been on it for many years. I'm 55 and bone density tests are still excellent. People who need teeth implants but not a strong enough bone to do it can take it for a month or two and be able to have the implants. Really good stuff!! Great solid tried and true company!!

Calicifood is the only product on the market that has not been boiled to death, therefore all of the nutrition is still in the wafer! The greasy bones used to make this product are dried with wheat germ; no heat or chemicals are used. The wafers consist of raw bone with the marrow. This is nutrition that your bones need! I have been using the joint protocol program from Standard Process, that includes this product, and my joint pain is definitely better!!

Standard Process makes a variety of products which I have used successfully. Calcifood is unique in that it is composed of real boneincluding marrow. The tablets have just a bit of honey added so they taste pleasantly sweet. I know of no other product that maintains and restores bone health as quickly and effectively.
