Hi Doris, welcome...Yes Fosteum is approved by the FDA, as a medicinal food, and it requires a written prescription from your doctor to get it filled.
I don't believe it comes in a soft gel, but you could check with the manufacturer at the link below.
Here's an article I wrote on the testing phase of Fosteum, where I interviewed one of the doctors involved with it.
Also, here's another about Fosteum FAQ's and side effects etc.
Good luck...
