Meet the Calcium Chew
The first patented Calcium Chew made from only 4 real foods with highly bioavailable calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, magnesium, and protein for better bone health.
Superior bioavailability for easy digestionGluten-free & lactose-safeNo added sugar or syntheticsDr. recommended & third-party tested- Organic dates - Grown in sunny Southern California. Dates are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants. Our dates give sweetness to our chew without added sugar.
- Milk minerals & protein - Sourced from non-GMO, rBST-free cows raised in the Midwest & Upstate NY. Our minerals provide calcium alongside other critical minerals for optimal absorption into bones, without the fat and calories of milk. Our milk protein also helps with calcium absorption.
- Almonds - Grown in sunny California. Almonds have the highest amount of natural calcium among nuts. Our roasted and unsalted chopped almonds provide the perfect crunch.
- Vitamin D white button mushrooms - Grown in Pennsylvania. Mushrooms naturally produce vitamin D when exposed to the sun (like human skin!). Our white button mushrooms are sunbathed to provide natural vitamin D which boosts calcium absorption.
Developed with leading experts in food science at Cornell's Center of Excellence for Food and Agriculture, Seen's chews provide highly bioavailable calcium in a tasty and easily digested form.
The natural calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron + vitamin D + protein provide the ideal building blocks our bodies need to build strong bones.
Diets rich in calcium and regular strength training may prevent risk of low bone density, or osteoporosis.
We recommend eating one chew a day with or without food to help you reach your calcium goals. For women ages 19-50, the National Institutes of Health recommends 1000mg calcium a day. For women ages 51+, that recommendation increases to 1200mg of calcium every day.
You can eat more than one chew a day if needed, just separate the chews by about 3 hours to maximize calcium absorption. Store the chews in their original pouch in a cool, dry place. Be sure to reseal the bag after each use to protect from moisture and light.
Sweetened with dates, our chews have been described as "mildly sweet," with a "nutty and caramel-like flavor." The chews are soft, with a texture compared to a snack bar, with a nutty crunch from unsalted almonds.

"As a profession specializing in osteoporosis, I recommend Seen Nutrition’s calcium chews because they are 100% food based, easy to absorb, and gentle on the body-making them a smarter, safer choice for filling the gaps in our nutrition."
Dr. Jessica Shepherd MD, OB/GYN & Menopause Expert
"Calcium is often overlooked when considering what is needed as we age and Seen provides a fresh new way to give our bodies what it needs to have adequate bone health and support our bodily functions. I recommend Seen chews for my patients as it is an easy way to incorporate highly bioavailable calcium."
The Difference Is Seen
Ultra-processed foods like conventional calcium chews are full of chemicals, dyes, and added sugars. All these ingredients can disrupt the microbiome and can contribute to inflammation and weight gain.

Here's the problem with conventional calcium supplements.
Calcium gummies
Filled with sugar, glucose syrups, artificial dyes, and bound by gelatin. Studies show that gummies degrade quickly and rarely contain the quantity of vitamin or minerals promised on their label.
Calcium pills
Calcium pills often use calcium carbonate (mined from rock) or calcium citrate (lab-created). Both are bulky and difficult for the body to absorb, making for multiple doses of large, hard-to-swallow pills.
Calcium chocolates
Conventional calcium chews are filled with sugar, corn syrup, added flavorings, and artificial ingredients. All this sugar helps mask the chemical flavor of the chew.
Support Your Bones As You Age
Calcium from food sources offers the best, most bioavailable form of this critical nutrient. Sourced directly from cow’s milk, our balanced milk mineral complex naturally contains seven minerals: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and copper in the physiologic ratios found in our bone. We know that bodies need more than just calcium to build strong bone, yet other calcium supplements provide isolated calcium citrate or calcium carbonate. Seen’s Calcium Chew keeps calcium in context to be sure you’re getting the calcium from milk AND the other key minerals to help you absorb calcium into your bones.
Calcium from food, like our milk minerals, provides the complex of minerals that help the calcium become bioavailable in the GI tract. Unlike other isolated synthetic calcium forms, Seen Nutrition uses only the natural calcium found in milk, which is a complex of natural calcium in the form of calcium caseinate, micellar calcium phosphate and soluble calcium. This complex of calcium along with the other minerals and nutrients that accompany calcium in food, helps the calcium absorb into your bone.
Consistent daily calcium consumption builds up your reserves of strong bone to help you stay active longer. Since our bodies need calcium every day for proper functioning, if we don’t consume adequate calcium in our diet, our bodies will draw that calcium from our bone, leading to weaker, more porous bone tissue.
We're Glad You're Here
When we became friends, we quickly learned about our shared concerns for bone health. Jenny was only 30 when she was diagnosed with a rare form of osteoporosis, while Adrienne watched her mom, Judith, suffer from one fracture after another beginning at age 47. Both of us knew firsthand the toll that low bone density could take on our health.
Our different fields of expertise in food and medicine gave us a unique way to approach bone health nutrition together. Jenny, a clinical pharmacist (PharmD, BCACP), brought years of clinical knowledge about how nutrients are absorbed into our bone. Adrienne, a food studies researcher and PhD, brought expertise in food studies and diet. Together, we asked a simple question: Why can’t calcium supplementation be as natural and effective as eating calcium directly from food itself?
This is our guiding principle at Seen: food first. As the co-founders of Seen Nutrition, we take very seriously our shared mission to make bone health nutrition practical, pleasant, and effective.

Frequently asked questions
Milk minerals are the seven natural minerals found in milk: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and copper. Since this complex of minerals from milk mimic the body’s bone mineral composition, these minerals are easy for your body to recognize, process, and use to build and strengthen bone.
Unlike other calcium supplements that isolate synthetic calcium from stone or shells or are made in the lab, milk minerals provide you with a natural complex of calcium and minerals best used by your body.
Mushrooms are the only fungi to naturally make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Our vitamin D comes from sunbathed white button mushrooms.
Milk protein comes in a lot of different forms, but we include milk protein concentrate (MPC) in our calcium chew. MPC includes whey and casein proteins along with 9 essential amino acids.
It’s a complete, nutritionally complex protein source. When eaten alongside milk minerals, the whey and casein in MPC helps your body absorb the calcium better.
We third-party test each batch for safety to test the absence of microbes and heavy metals (including lead and mercury) in a third-party testing facility that has received ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, which guarantee that their "Quality Management System and in-scope analytical methods meet the stringent requirements of an internationally recognized standard of quality for testing laboratories in the Food and Pharmaceutical industry.”
In addition, we go one step further and test nutrient levels for each batch of our Calcium Chews to ensure precise nutritionals that match our nutrition facts panel. This stringent type of testing is not required by FDA and is not the norm with supplements. However, it is critically important for us at Seen to deliver precise nutrition.
A one month supply comes with two packs of 15 chews each for your total of 30 chews. This gives you the flexibility to take your chews with you on the go or keep them in more than one place to fit your routine.
A three month supply comes with six packs of 15 chews each.
