The Correct Formulation of Calcium is Important for Proper Absorption and Healthy Bones.Our Philosophy: Our Guidelines:
ABSORPTION: Calcium in liquid form means that a smaller amount of ingredients are able to achieve the same results as higher doses in tablet form. COMPARISON OF CALCIUM CONTENT OF VARIOUS SUPPLEMENTS [119]
Absorption from supplements is best in doses 500 mg or less because the percent of calcium absorbed decreases as the amount of calcium in the supplement increases {117,118}. Therefore, someone taking 1000 mg of calcium in a supplement should take 500 mg twice a day instead of 1000 mg calcium at one time. The two main forms of calcium found in supplements are carbonate and citrate. Calcium carbonate is the most common because it is inexpensive and convenient. The absorption of calcium citrate is similar to calcium carbonate. For instance, a calcium carbonate supplement contains 40% calcium while a calcium citrate supplement only contains 21% calcium. Calcium Citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium. It does not require extra stomach acid for absorption, hence we may take it anytime in a day, even on an empty stomach. Calcium citrate malate is a form of calcium used in the fortification of certain juices and is also well absorbed {116}. Other forms of calcium in supplements or fortified foods include calcium gluconate, lactate, and phosphate. The amount of calcium your body obtains from various supplements depends on the amount of elemental calcium in the tablet. The amount of elemental calcium is the amount of calcium that is actually in the supplement. Calcium absorption also depends on the total amount of calcium consumed at one time and whether the calcium is taken with food or on an empty stomach. Calcium citrate is the best calcium supplement for absorption but unfortunately it has a low calcium content. Active Liquid Calcium combines calcium citrate with the high calcium content of tri-calcium phosphate for the best of both worlds. WARNING: Discrepancies in labeling can be deceptive and make people believe they are getting more calcium than they think they are. Unless the ingredients are in brackets ( ) you are only getting a fraction of the ingredient, e.g. Calcium Citrate 1000 mg is the same as Calcium (Citrate) 210 mg. Without the brackets, it means that 1000 mg of calcium citrate is only 210 mg of calcium [21%]. The remaining 790 mg is citrate. You are only getting 210 mg of calcium instead of 1000 mg of calcium!BALANCE: Did you know that too much calcium depletes copper and that it also reduces zinc absorption in bone. There is a finite range between the extremes of deficiency and toxicity. Active Liquid Calcium uses a balanced approach by using the essential nutrients recommended by research and by Dr Betty Kamen Ph.D. MODERATION: Active Liquid Calcium uses the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for moderation.
Other Ingredients: Purified Water, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, natural flavoring, stevia NOTE: All our ingredients are 'ELEMENTAL'. e.g. Our 250 mg is ALL calcium.
Take with or without a meal. ACTIVE LIQUID CALCIUM uses all the cofactors recommended by Dr Betty Kamen Ph.D. and the calcium/magnesium ratio from the Dr Guy Abraham Ph.D. study of 1.2 to 1 of magnesium over calcium. See total ingredients on products page.
