Only after one week of using the LIQUID version of the Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D supplements, it hardened up in the bottle. There was barely any liquid left. I only used the product for less than 7 days.
I took it back to the Vitamin Shoppe Store and showed the manager the solidified vitamins. He asked if I kept the solidifying form in the refrigerator. I followed the directions on the label of the bottle: "keep in a cool, dark place", which I stored promptly in my pantry.
I wanted to exchange it so the store manager and I began looking at the other brands of liquid Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D. Upon closely scrutinizing each bottle, I noticed that all liquid forms of this stuff, contained three-fifths thick mass, and the two-fifths liquid, like water. I shook a few of the bottles, and I saw the mixtures get thick. Since I already had a bad experience with the liquid version, and didn't want to go back to the store only to have the same problem and exchanging the bottles, I ended up buying the chewable version of this supplement combination. It taste OK, but the wafer takes forever to chew, a bit hard, and slightly chalky in taste.
I just wonder if I can add water to the liquid form after it solidifies. Anyone know if I can do this and still get the benefits? Is it safe to add water to it? I really liked the liquid version 'cuz it taste better.

Sleepness Nights
Lately, I've been staying asleep for only 3 hours at a time. It's hard enough for me to get super tired so that I can easily fall asleep, but on most occasions, I wake up after only 3 hours of sleep.
I heard that sometimes, this is caused by our monthly hormones too. After a quick research on this subject online, I found an interesting article about sleeplessness and certain vitamins and minerals.
Supposedly, taking calcium with magnesium supplements will help you fall asleep. I purchased the liquid version, which contained calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. The vitamin D helps your body absorb the calcium more efficiently.
My verdict: Yes, it works; it helped me fall asleep as well as get a better nights' sleep. I even gave it to my son. We can both use the calcium.
