Floradix Calcium Magnesium w/ Zinc & Vitamin D
SKU: 10112
New studies are showing us that the best way to maintain the health of our bones is not through increased calcium intake alone, but rather through the regular use of a balanced calcium magnesium supplement that effectively addresses the many complicated issues that prevent the adequate absorption and proper utilization of calcium. One like Floradix Calcium Magnesium.
Understanding Calcium Supplements
Daily "Supplemental" Requirements
You should not try to fulfill your daily calcium requirements with a supplement. Your diet will already provide you with a portion of the RDI, (based on dietary calcium), and you should rely on a high quality supplement to provide the remainder. This encourages a more beneficial ratio of calcium to magnesium consumption.
Dosage
Due to the high solubility of Floradix Calcium Magnesium, its dosage is able to be much lower than most other supplements while still providing the same useable amount of calcium, in many cases even more! This kind of solubility is created through the form of the supplement (liquid) and the forms of calcium (lactate and gluconate).
Liquid vs. Solid
The average person's body will only dissolve 20% of most solid supplements and will eliminate the remaining 80% possibly causing constipation, gas and bloating A liquid solution does not need to be dissolved, so approximately 98% of the elemental amount will be available for absorption.
Rates of Absorption
Calcium in supplements occurs in a compound form. The component that calcium is bound to is called the compound or "form" of calcium and the calcium itself is called "elemental". The less soluble the compound is, (citrate is less than lactate is less than gluconate) the more elemental calcium is available but the lower the absorption rate. For example, the same amount of calcium gluconate contains less elemental calcium than citrate, but is absorbed at a higher rate because gluconic acid is more soluble than citric acid. Dietary calcium is absorbed at an average rate of 10-30% and most calcium supplements are absorbed at rates anywhere between 4% and 45% depending on the forms of calcium used. Floradix Calcium Magnesium provides the highest rate of absorption possible with a combination of calcium lactate and gluconate, which boast absorption rates of 45% and 50% respectively. (17 oz)
