So I've been using Metagenics Bone Builder Plus for about 3 months now, and here's the real tea ☕
First off - the MCHC formula actually works! My hip pain (which I thought was just 'getting older') has significantly decreased. Unlike other calcium supplements I've tried, this one doesn't leave me constipated (TMI but important!).
The vitamin D boost is clutch - 2000 IU per capsule means I don't need to take separate D supplements anymore. The capsules are easy to swallow, though fair warning: they're kinda large if you're pill-phobic.
Now the not-so-great: Amazon's shipping is ridiculous. Paid for 'free shipping' and waited 9 days?! Also had one bottle arrive with broken capsules - not cool for a premium product.
Final verdict? Despite the shipping drama, I'm sticking with it because my recent bone scan showed improvement for the first time in years. That's worth dealing with Amazon's nonsense.
