Everyone must try this new calcium supplement developed by pharmacists. It is a sugar free calcium powder which contains calcium, magnesium, Vitamin C and Vitamin D.

I just took this from the website for everyone to read.

As we consume calcium, the acid in the stomach begins to break it down. When broken down, the calcium is transformed into its ionic form, or positive charged state. It is this ionic state that calcium passes through the intestinal tract, into the bloodstream, and into the bones. This is the rate of absorption that determines how much of the calcium we consumed can actually be used by the body. The higher the absorption, the more calcium ions travel in the body.

The faster the calcium supplement can obtain the ionic state, the faster it becomes available for absorption. The absorption and uptake of calcium are partly a function of pH. Acidity favors absorption while alkalinity hinders absorption.

As we age, we often have fewer stomach acids, leading to increased difficulty absorbing calcium. This is equally important for those who also take Histamine blockers and Proton pump inhibitors like Tagamet, Pepcid, Prilosec, Nexium, and Protonix. With the combination of these medications, patients are essentially not getting any benefits of their calcium tablets and chews.

Remember, the key is to get the calcium to its ionic state as quick as possible.
