"Since I've had gastric bypass surgery, I can't absorb minerals and vitamins very well. This helps me so much, I have recommended Wellesse Calcium to everyone I know, I love the taste too. I'm starting on the glucosamine since I also have issues with my joints and bones now, I can't wait to see the difference it will make."
